Syphon72: I mean, it's not like the CEO or other staff haven't been caught criticizing GOG. Right?
When the CEO says the game is coming soon and it's been two years since he said that, it makes me skeptical. That's completely different than GOG saying GOW is coming soon. Postal 4 was released in 2019, and ZP said they would get the game shortly after release, but it took until 2024. That is some serious miscommunication going on or I'm crazy.
The whole Outforce situation was a little different because they admitted to releasing the game broken. Like, no one could play it in that state. Then the CEO said it would be back up shortly, but it took literally months to fix the issues.
Where are all games he promised to release like 3 years ago? ZP should be over 1000 games by now with all contracts he signed. The CEO will flat out lie to its users, and you guys just eat up what he's saying like it's the best thing. At least people on GOG will call GOG out for their nonsense.
But anyways like I said before if you want to buy from them go ahead. I rather have people support DRM free stores than not any at all.
In 2019 I was not even using GOG, let alone knew of ZP's existence lol. My GOG profile may say 2013, but it had ~8 games until 2021.
As such, I am not eating anything up, I am just aware that things don't always go according to plan. So it may not be a lie, but a far too optimistic promise. This is why larger companies generally shy away from announcements or promises until their product is
actually close to release. Otherwise people would accuse them of "lying" whenever plans change or something doesn't work out.
I buy games on ZP that GOG do not sell. I buy games on GOG that ZP do not sell. At the end of the day that is all that matters, not chatter or opinions expressed by staff. I do not agree with some of their opinions either, but they do sell what I need, so... DRM-FREE stores must be supported.
KetobaK: I mean, Zoom is like 100 games and sustained by its adminastrator, all thir games fit in 1TB disk. The bigger the company more decisions you have to take, Linux builds takes space and the sales don't justify the expenses.
They have over 700 now.
Timboli: My experience has been different with ZP, but then I avoid social media for starters, especially after having seen how easily things can get out of hand. And I've not needed to contact anyone at ZP either.
That is probably for the best, but sadly, Social Media (Discord) is where they post their changelogs so... hard to avoid it.
