@RetroHax EN : Because it's “neither here nor there.” They preach ethics but only do things halfway, with old games that have bugs that make them unplayable and missing features (fewer languages) without any rational explanation. But they could go further and attract a certain audience thanks to this:
stop one-off sales and instead offer a steady reduction to a reasonable price that doesn't change, more Linux games, free games...
@Dariusmiles2123 In my opinion It's not right that developers expect us to pay the same amount for a recent game as for an older one. Which is why I made that comment. I imagine that Gog doesn't have the leverage to bring prices down permanently. But maybe we, the players, can give them the tools to do so.
@Blackmist I don't understand what you mean, nor how it relates to GOG. Also, for me, a promotion on a game that's over 10 years old and costs the same as when it was released doesn't seem like a bargain. On the contrary, I see scam.
@Dariusmiles2123 I don't understand. Even if it's automated, this promotion must add work, whereas an automatic price reduction based on the year of creation with a minimum threshold for maintenance seems so simple and respectful of customers to me.
@Zephorah @RetroHax You just have to buy games and give it to them, what's the problem ?
@RetroHax same game, other issue : https://www.gog.com/forum/blood/_bowl/_series/timer/_adjustment/_in/_game/_is/_broken/_and/_not/_working
It's not the only game with issues, sorry I don't dig further but I've encountered this often. (And I refuse to buy on steam)
@RetroHax Do you have an example of a game that won't support controllers?
@RetroHax An example https://www.gog.com/forum/blood/_bowl/_series/blood/_bowl/_chaos/_edition/_bug/_issues/page1

@Dariusmiles2123 but they accept promotions, maybe.

@Dariusmiles2123 stellaris ?
I was going to put Civilization IV, but it's gone down to €20 (for a 20-year-old game...).
