Syphon72: Yup, even if you support GOG. I think a real purge is needed. lol
Yes, the purge of GOG as a store. Steam master race for the win.

firstpastthepost: Rather than tighten the COC terms and closing a bunch of threads that probably shouldn't have been closed they should just open an actual general discussion forum that is lightly moderated for stuff that's tangibly problematic and leave the current forums to be specifically about games and be moderated more heavily. It's a pretty simple solution.
Dude you are suggesting they act with common sense; be realistic. :P

mrkgnao: Why wait? We'd love to have you around. And as you can see, posting in one does not preclude one from posting in the other.

rjbuffchix: Imo, GOG wants us to get fed up with the limited discussion here and be frustrated enough to leave.
That's not my impression. The boycott thread is still around and in terms of COD violation, there was some golden material in there last I checked.

I think the vast majority of businesses probably would not have allowed such a thread to exist in a forum they manage. Consider me impressed that they have allowed it to be so far.

StingingVelvet: Every day multiple threads are created with endless whining about the same stuff over and over again. If anything mods should be closing more threads for being redundant.
You seem to love whining about whining, so if anything you should be thankful. ;p

rjbuffchix: Many of you have been complaining, imo rightfully so, about GOG staff locking threads including very long-running popular threads that they say go against the COC. Imo, GOG wants us to get fed up with the limited discussion here and be frustrated enough to leave. This forum, as far as I can tell, is the last bastion of a place that includes people who care about DRM-free gaming in any sort of significant number.

GOG subreddit does not meet this criteria; in fact I recall people on there discussing how "toxic" GOG forum supposedly is, with the toxicity apparently meaning those of us who dare to want a 100% ownable product when we purchase it here instead of being coerced into using the "optional" client. They'll get a little mad about Hitman or Epic, sure, but then go back to slobbering over how awesome they think Galaxy is.

For those interested, Zoom-Platform's discord I assume would be the next biggest place of people who care about DRM-free gaming all in one place. If GOG does away with the forum or it fades into obscurity since no one is left around to champion DRM-free, then I think the continued DRMification of GOG and PC gaming in general will go full-Steam-ahead. Does anyone else think there is anything to my theory?
GOG doesn't need to campaign to get old users off the forum. Users do a good enough job on their own.

fronzelneekburm: Defend gog to the death, no matter how badly they fuck up, Because if they go down, they'll take your library down with them.
They wouldn't actually, that's the whole point of DRM free.

I hope the forums dont go down, because I dont use discord.
greenmangaming used to have forums, and it was very active and users mostly were helpful, respectful, and it helped the site a bunch grow. But, since they closed them, I dont even think of them at all, unless I see a game I want and go looking for a decent discount.
I only know of 1 business that wants users to not have a forum, and if gog forums went down, I would think they got bought out by them and not return.
I would also be very sad, as I have been around since the beta days.
