To coin a line from Dark Helmut, we’ve been fooled. Was this just a ploy to get attention? Sounds that way. What does this type of stunt do to the hard-core fan? I personally have purchased a few games from GOG, but a majority of my library comes from Steam. This approach damages their base, and they did work to help mitigate the damage. The statement has been made the the site has always had “Beta” at the top, so we can only assume that this is the big release.
The re-launch of the the site brings the original Baldur’s Gate. The big issue with the launch is they generated too much publicity. They are adding servers to take up the load. If you are in to old games that are modified to run on modern systems, give the newly re-launched GOG.COM.
If you still have that old media hanging around like I do, take a look at dosbox. I have some moldy-oldies like Tie Fighter, Renegade, and Gabriel Knight. I will be publishing my testing with these games in use with dosbox and dbox to ease the pain.
Stay tuned!!
