joppo: You seem to forget that GOG disclosing the information of who was invited was actually useful for the purpose that the visitation was happening in the first place.
I'll use Adaliabooks as an example since he already disclosed he was invited and he also fits my example perfectly. Suppose I* was one of the visitors. My very first question would be if they invited a few specific users, including Adaliabooks. If they didn't bother to invite the guy who created AdaliaEssentials I would seriously question if they were actually interested in knowing what improvements are needed in the website. I
needed to know they weren't just doing a PR stunt.
* Disclaimer: I wasn't invited, but I am opting out of keeping this ultra secret information to myself. I don't hold value enough to be one of the invitees and I know it, and I am okay with it. On the other hand, it is just as useful for GOG to sensibly disclose this information. They
WANTthe 6 visitors to be certain that they are seriously trying to get input from the most adequate members to tell them where they can do better. They have a good reason to disclose it, and the NDAs take care of any possible indiscretions.
Which brings us to specifics. You vaguely mentioned that the 6 basically outed a few invitees without naming names. I want you to point out where exactly it happened, because I read
the whole effing thread and have seen nothing of the sort. I am pretty certain of a few names that haven't appeared in this thread, but not because they said anything. I just know whom I would call if I were in GOG's shoes. They would be nuts if they hadn't called [redacted], [redacted] or [redacted]. Just off the top of my head.
You also seem to be utterly convinced that now the 6 Warsaw-goers have access to a list of our email addresses, every single PM any of us ever sent and the list of games each of us has in their shelves. I won't waste my time pointing out the absurdity of GOG going out of their way to divulge that information to them without any direct or indirect benefit. Instead I recommend you just ask Fables22 what do they know regarding users' personal information.
And maybe then this forum could be a bit less of a cesspit of pointless anger, toxicity and baseless paranoia. At least in this one thread.
Thank you so much for this post! (Yes, I am kinda back but I won't discuss the matter any further)
joppo: Thanks. I suppose the crystal drawing is the same in all the 5 cards, right?
I can infer from what has been said in the thread that those two blurred writings in a small font below the username are your registration month+year and the tagline. It is not hard to read "Red herring". This card is pretty cool. As certainly was the whole trip. Congratulations to all Magnificent6.
#bitofenvy :)
Same for me: Text and christal identical tagline and registry date different.
Yes, I completely agree - this card alone was worth the trip. It stands on my table and it is the first thing I watch when I am coming back from work. The backside is even nicer but I guess it would be problematic to show it since there are real signatures - meaning real names - among those.
