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!

Fever_Discordia: 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!

Magmarock: What is the exact GMT that it will be on? Fort example GMT-6?
avatar
groze: I'm guessing it's GMT+0? Maybe GMT+1/ECT, since they're in Poland.
GMT+1 as far as I can tell, although I am more used to US time zones, so double-check to be sure :)

Screamshield: This sounds nice.I'll be there if I can.
But my only questions right now are when will games x,y and z be coming to GOG.
As soon as we get the rest of the alphabet :D

JudasIscariot: As soon as we get the rest of the alphabet :D

Ghorpm: Are you aware that games , [url=http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/y]Y and Z do exist? And I know at least one person who would be thrilled to see Z here. And no, it's not me, I have a strong love-hate relationship with this game ;P Besides, I already own it.
I am aware of Z, yes, and I know who you're talking about that would love to see Z here (he or she has a General Zod avatar and hails from Australia, I believe). I wasn't aware of the other games, however :)
I unwisely left my Twitch settings to "send me an email every time someone subscribes to my channel" before we made this announcement.


In other news, hello, several hundred people. Nice to see you in my inbox. :P

I just now actually read the date of the Q&A. For some reason I thought it was today... too keen I guess :P
Orrrrr too *sunglasses* Keane


YEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
As a colleague of those who will be behind the camera next week, here are some questions :

1- what is the success you guys are most proud of in GOG's history, as well as the failure you are most upset about?

2- what is your favorite classic on GOG? Favorite modern title?

3- will there ever be a mousepad or a tshirt featuring the famous "Marcin Iwinski" (aka "Iwi")'s memes created by our users?

My questions are rather easy, I hope you will appreciate this supportive gesture from me and pick one of them.
More seriously, I am wishing everybody to have a good moment, won't be able to watch you guys, as I will be flying over Germany by that time :)

Best DRM-free wishes,

Guillaume-

Titanium: I read this in my best Darth Vader voice because it feels so candidly diabolical if you think about it and/or disregard what follows.
I have altered the terms of our Q&A. *chkhissssss* Pray I do not wish to alter it further.
avatar
groze: One hour to go! Yay!

I'd like to pose the question: How do you compare apples and oranges? Which one is better?

(Who am I kidding?, oranges are definitely better than apples. Apples are boring.)
Actually, almost three hours to go.

stg83: It was really nice seeing the guys for the first time and getting direct feedback through the Q&A, would definitely like to see more of it. Preferably before a gap of two years this time. ;)
We will do our best to make it more regular :)

groze: I'm a bit disappointed because we didn't get to see Emily.

BillyMaysFan59: We got to hear her, at least. :P
All video specialists burst into flames when they appear on camera. I have acquired tonsillitis merely from speaking on it. The dedication.

Melhelix: Here is the transcript from 15:15 to 25:08. Only a ten minute chunck so far, as I am a bit out of practice, and work keeps interfering. :P

Transcription over yonder.

So there's Part One, from 15:15 to 25:08. I'll probably keep transcribing until someone from the official GOG team takes over. Also, this is a fun learning day for myself as I've never actually needed to use GoogleDocs before, so I hope folk can actually see it.

Edit: Alright, up to 27:50. I'll hit it again tomorrow.
That's quite nicely done. +1 all around! :)

EDIT: We'll get the highlights video posted shortly, by the way.

Melhelix: Awh, thanks! And please, pop me on the head if I'm stepping on anyone's toes (in the GOG office). I really don't mean to, I'm just doing it for a spot of fun.

Also, many thanks to the three of you for the great Q and A! It was really neat to watch.
If you like doing it, no one's stopping you :)
