As the topic says--it finally happened. GOG.com now has a blog. You can find it at:

<span class="bold">gogcom.tumblr.com</span>

There will probably be an official frontpage announcement some time later, but for now we're not making a big fuss about it. Still, please feel invited to drop by and see what's going on there. If you own a Tumblr profile yourself, we'd be very grateful if you followed ours and maybe gave <span class="bold">this post</span> a re-blog, to help and spread the word.

Being in charge of the blog, I sincerely hope that we'll be able to make it into something unique. We want to give you a bit more of an inside view on GOG.com, get you a bit more acquainted with our crew and friends, and provide you with some entertainment while we're at it.

I know that some of you miss our This Week on GOG.com YouTube segment. Hopefully, we'll be able to fill the gap its cancellation caused by posting a weekly editorial on the blog. Yes, we do plan for the enigmatic hints to make a comeback!

Frankly, there's quite a lot of ideas for the blog floating around our office. But we're also hoping for your insight!

So nice to see some familiar friendly "faces" popping out in our Tumblr dashboard feed :-D

Thanks for the endorsement, guys!

As for the *grumble*-inducing factor Tumblr has on some people--sorry, but we chose the platform that comes with the most expected benefits. Nothing beats (potentially) reaching 300 000 000 users, right? Don't worry, though--we'll doi our best to stay to our GOGgy ways wherever we are :-) More so, because we might choose to integrate the blog a little bit more into our main page at some point. :-)

No need! The blog itself is pretty self-contained. If you don't have a Tumblr account, nor a desire to make one, you can still access everything that is posted, follow the feed via RSS, and engage the posts via social media. Later on, we'll introduce some commenting options as well.

whaa... Oh, a new post. Hello!


Well, I can understand where you're coming from. Please keep in mind, though, that Tumblr is but a medium, and whatever we make of it is entirely up to us. And by us I mean us *and* you.

Believe me, I had my own reservations. But then, I found lots of tumblr profiles relevant to my own interests and managed to see through the glittery surface. ;-) Not that it's my life mission to convert you to a tumblrist, mind you, but I'm sure we'll manage to make the best of the platform and prove you at least a little bit wrong.

^That. :-) No worries, by saying "no intrusive copy protection" we didn't mean to single-out one kind of DRM as bad in favor of some other kind, that we feel more comfortable with. It's just as Arkose said - in some cases we do have some legacy forms of anti-piracy measures. Usually so old, that they can be only seen as an interesting curiosity :-)

I looked up that blog and if my assumptions are correct, that's captfitz's blog :)
