  1. @gameragodzilla "50% DRM free" is how they'd weasel around it and we both know it but its breaking the spirit if not the letter of the promise.

    I mean that's how I'd characterize the regional pricing thing too.  Breaking the spirit if not the letter of their promise.

    "That's not real money, GOG!"

    And I mean, as I've said to others elsewhere, I actually give a FrankerZ about GOG and I don't want them to become just as bad as Steam, so you better believe I'm going to call them on that kiwi.

    1. @maiyannah I'm fully willing to write them a letter if you give me specific examples of where they're going against their promises (not to be interpreted as "I don't believe you" but rather as "it'll make it easier to redact it") since I've openly endorsed them in the past and I'd like them to keep representing something good.

      1. @nerthos They've introduced and gone back on regional pricing almost as many times as my wife gets her clothes off around me, despite being so originally advertising against it they hat hit piece ads against GamersGate for it.

        1. @nerthos Moreover, despite their DRM promises about games being DRM free, the multiplayer aspect of Master of Orion 4 requires third-party activation.

        2. @maiyannah Huh. I never noticed that, at least in my region it has always stayed in US$

          1. @nerthos They had an attack ad against GamersGate because what GamersGate did was credit you store credit back for the regional difference.  "That's not real money!"

            And now they do literally the exact same thing.
