For reasons too boring to get into I had to delete all my GOG backups today for the HDD space. So until I get a larger backup drive in the next month or so I would appreciate you not going out of business, so I can download all my games again later.

Thanks!

I shall do my best to keep the ship afloat. Not that that will do hell of a lot of a difference.

Perhaps it's time to look into a NAS. Can't say I'm much of a fan of off the shelf units though.
After game 50 I stopped making backups. Shit the way I buy stuff in here I'd be spending $1000 a month on disc and thumb drives if I kept trying to do it not to mention the fact that I came here so I could save on shelf space, not take up more. :D
How about a fake shutdown / coming out of beta publicity stunt? :p

Really? I've 89 games (excluding the free games) and have them all backed up - the extras as well.

That's because you are probably smart. MENSA is not likely to be knocking down my door anytime soon. :P

You're lucky, most people who aren't members have learned to fear the MENSA mafia.

That's pretty much what I was referencing ;)
GOG is going to reveal something at E3 according to recent reports:
"The next few months will be very important for GOG.com, who is working on two development projects. Already at E3 in Los Angeles, the company will present a new technology that will allow it to expand service offer with new products, expand its functionality and attract new customers."

Maybe a client, maybe some kind of emulator, we'll see. :)

And here I am just about to drop some bucks on a couple of games that will take me 4-5 days to dl minimum

On a side note I'm saving up for a 4TB external drive as well. I plan to make that my GOG archive drive.

Ok, off to buy the Neverwinter nights games

Yes! An emulator would be great. It's been previously mentioned on the forums here to "buy" the emulator, with all of the games as DLC.

Or maybe it's some kind of optional client. =/
Less exciting, though I'm sure some people would be happy.

I download at about 8MB a second, so shouldn't be an issue.
