I thought it was necessary to send out a quick thank you note to the team at GOG.com for all of their hard work over the years. The first time I visited the website I remember being blown away by the concept of a DRM-free gaming platform. For the first time in my life I realized that there was a company out there that was actually fighting on the same side as the general gaming public, even going as far as actively seeking out the classic games that we all know and love!

That being said I sincerely hope that the GOG community will continue supporting the efforts of the GOG.com team, so that we can all continue our pursuit of a DRM-Free gaming world. I also hope that the developers on the GOG.com team will continue listening to the member of the GOG.com community in regards to updates and new game requests, because this website was clearly built on the foundations of the DRM-Free gaming community. I think it's safe to say that we all want a DRM-Free gaming world to succeed, so let's try to work together to make this dream a reality. That's really all I can say.

well articulated.

Thanks!

It really is amazing to see what GOG has accomplished over the years. More than 2,000 DRM-Free games. Unreal.

arguably, it was built on built on the retro gaming community

Good point. Perhaps it's 50/50.

Both options are not necessarily exclusive. In fact, I'd say most of the "retro gaming community" is anti-DRM.

And while i completly understand the OP and had the same oppinion for a very long time, at this day i can no longer stand behind GOG and his decisions.
I advice to doublecheck for yourself if GOG still is what you believe it is before you sink more money into a collection here. The lock in is just as real here and to me time has shown there is no "good guy" here, just another coorporation without morale and principles.

DRM free should've been the start, and not the end.
