They were supposed to have curators, or something. Yet their store, recently, started overflowing with random, irrelevant trash, seems to be indie but low-tier, even then. Where and when they refused Hatred and Agony, cancelled Devotion release and fall short in oldies releases, especially the really good ones. The hell's wrong with that store, nowadays?

what is GOG?

I dunno. Doesn't GOG have their own boards though? Maybe try asking there?

I just collect their freebies. 🤗

One person's trash is another person's treasure. Learn to cope, or die seething over it.

As for the oldies copyright ownership hell is the problem, and some titles have to wait 75 years from the copyright date to have that expire. After it expires the titles fall under freeware, and anyone is free to distribute legally. Nothing can be done about this till copyright laws are changed, and that isn't going to happy anytime soon.

Madness!

It surprises me because GOG hasn't not had many freebies for a long time. You can download their demo version for free mostly.

I just wait until they're posted in the stickied 'Free Games/Givaway' thread here in OT (and yeah they're scarce compared to Epic and IndieGala freebies), but after about 18 months I'm up to 33 games in my GOG library (all freebies) and one movie. 🤗

Mate, the place I work at sells electric pepper shakers... everyone sells trash, you just need to realise what it is

People have different taste. What is excellent for one, is terrible for others. That is why some thinks something is garbage while the same is great for other persons.

Good Old Games. I like it personally. It's been around for 13 years and has its own platform like Steam. I buy games there often. You get some good deals and a lot of freebies.

I throw a fit whenever I see a grocery store that carries bok choy. It's simply unacceptable. I have to knock over all of their produce just to express my displeasure in their greenery selection.
