Join the guys in charge of GOG.com for a chat!

EDIT: The video has ended, but you can check out the recorded stream here (http://www.twitch.tv/gogcom/c/4113792), or just watch the highlights below. Thanks for participating, and be sure to leave us any comments you have on the topics we discussed below! :)

GOG.com is going live on Twitch <span class="bold">today</span> and we'd like to heartily invite all of you to join us. Our founder, Marcin Iwiński (known in the forums as <i>iWi</i>), Piotr Karwowski (<i>Destro</i>), the VP of Online Technologies, and Trevor Longino (<i>TheEnigmaticT</i>), the Head of Marketing and PR, will do their best to answer your questions while remaining at least a bit entertaining, on Tuesday April 22, 6:00PM GMT (that's 2:00 PM EDT and 11:00 AM PDT) in the [url=http://www.twitch.tv/gogcom]<span class="bold">GOG.com Official Twitch.tv Channel</span>.

This wouldn't be--of course--much of a Q&A if they didn't have any questions to answer. We count on you, dear GOGgers, to provide many interesting ones! There has been many interesting things happening around GOG.com, recently, so we're sure many of you have thing you'd like to ask us. There's a few ways to do that. You can ask your questions right here, in the forum thread below. You can sign in to the <span class="bold">Twitch live chat</span> as soon as the livestream starts, and post your thoughts and questions in there. Finally, you can tweet your question to our <span class="bold">@GOGcom Twitter account</span>, with the #GOGtwitch hashtag.

We'll be with you for at least an hour (we may end up going longer!), but that's probably still not enough time to answer all questions. We'll select just the ones we think are most common to the community as a whole, and the most interesting ones as well. After the livestream is done, we'll post a montage of its highlights with just a slight delay needed to put the thing together.

Again, we invite you to <span class="bold">GOG.com Official Twitch.tv Channel</span> today, 6:00PM GMT (that's 2:00 PM EDT and 11:00 AM PDT), and we hope you'll find time to join us. In fact, drop half an hour early to catch our Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure gameplay stream!
Tempting! Will see if I can't remember my Twitter account information.
But ARE Marcin Iwiński and Piotr Karwowski known in the forums as iWi and Destro though?
I've never seen any posts from them!
Also TET's name is Trevor! Like Magical Trevor!

WOW!

1) Will you be doing any GOG/CDP Conferences or (if you still are, will you) keep broadcasting them?
2) What was the most demanding game that you brought in GOG regarding :
A) Red Tape/Paperwork/Licensing
B) Patching/Coding work

And my third question would be about a game coming to GOG, guess it will be quite common in this Q&A and in vain, but i have to ask cause i miss this game the most...
3)Were you in any negotiations to bring any Blair Witch Project Games in GOG?

tinyE: Sachys and I are already working up a good list.

-Do you like sausages?
-If you were a sausage, what kind would you be?
-If the moon was made of sausages, would you eat it?
-Why do they call them Grape Nuts if when you open the box, there's no grapes, no nuts!?
Think they're called Grape Nuts so the consumer takes pity on the manufacturer for having some kind of mental illness. Would explain why they put gravel in boxes and sell it to people as food.
That got low rated!? XD


Oh I see. Someone with a PC bug up his ass who no doubt hangs out in here wanting to be offended had issues with it. Well, c'est la vie. :D

Rather than posting, or in addition to posting, a montage, can you post the whole thing, uncut? It drives me nuts to see things like that hacked up and probably won't watch it if it is.
Well, if you need some questions, I have some here for now:
1- can you add an option to download the original full cd\dvd\floppy image\zip separated from the launcher\emulator?
2- can you clearly specify the current game "version" and also add the original one, when available? (ex: Scummvm+Dosbox)
3- can you improve the site with better update and status info, shelf categories, game advanced sorting, custom tags and rating, friends list, gift checking?
4- can you improve the forums with better search and sorting options, advanced polls, spoiler tags, better rep system?

Thanks :P

This is something that hopefully I will be able to watch (maybe I will "work" from home that way I can view it).

In terms of questions... Hmm..

1) Given the changes to the PC gaming industry that have resulted in the growth of the indie movement as well as self-publishing, what do you see as the next great innovation or evolutionary change for the industry as a whole?

2) Considering how difficult it can be to negotiate the rights and legal troubles of PC classics, what would you say are the most effective strategies that loyal GOGers can do to assist you in these ventures?

3) You are stranded on a tropical island for one year and can only bring one game with you for your entire stay, what game would you bring and why?

4) Let's say that you have a magical contract that will allow you to gain access to the gaming catalog of one company, which company would you want the most and why?

5) What would you say has been the most challenging game to get on GOG and why?

I will think of more later I am sure.
My only question is will I be able to watch the highlights from gog.com?

Uhaha tinyE, you silly! It's like you drew a target on your back. XD

drealmer7 seems to think I'm being racist.

I disagree but I apologize if it was taken that way.
