>>722026461>This is in thousands of PLN, so if we convert GOG.com lost $221K USD in the first half of 2025. For reference, GOG.com made a net profit of $283K USD in the first half of 2024, so this is down $504K USD YoYWhat the actual fuck
>>722026461F
Deserved. After gow bad The Witcher 3/4 and cybertroon2069 are they should close their doors permanently.
>>722026461How do you lose money on a storefront?
>>722026461I remember in a previous thread that the company is bloated with tons of employees who don't really do much.
>>722026702It's called funny money
>>722026702The west is filling with browns who take buy once own forever very literally and share it with their entire 200+ family members
I bought Cyberpunk 2077 there to help those faggots. Still wasn't enough?
I buy from GOG if they have it and encourage others to do the same.I'd hate to see them fail.
gog needs some sort of benefit to use it next to steam instead of over steam. I use both, but steam link makes it so I prefer steam so I can stream to my phone in my bed every now and then.
>>722027181Its why they pivoted back to the good old games branding lmao
>>722026537how can you go from +300k to -200k YoY as a store front? I don't remember any blockbuster game being released last year on GoG or anything that could drive such a discrepancy
>>722026461>suddenly>this game store built around telling publishers their games aren't wanted is failing>this game store with a cumbersome and retarded way of downloading games is failing>oh so suddenly>it's just happening now
How can you lose money selling fucking bits over the Internet? I don't understand this shit.
>>722027486why not set up a storefront and reap a few free dollars, anon?
>>722027486Employees, infrastructure, etc. You don't just rent servers on every download.
I wouldn't read too much to it, no doubt there is some talmudic accounting going on to avoid taxes.
>>722027486Things aren't free bro
>>722027486for some reason they have a ton of employees relative to the service they offer.
>>722026461all paths lead to Denuvo and Epic Games
>>722026461every game on gog is free
>>722027680>store literally begs people for donations on top of purchases>"I bet it's just jews. They're doing fine."
>>722026461Could this be a chance for BASED ELON to swoop in and buy Poland?
>>722027789Why would you want Poland?
Is GOG run by incompetent retards
>>722027894He doesn't own a country yet. He could make himself king and reinstate prima nocta and run around the countryside with a turkey baster full of genetically modified cum
>>722028012POLAND, dude. Fucking Poland.
>>722027435>this game store with a cumbersome and retarded way of downloading gamesHasn't been the case since GOG Galaxy came out like a decade ago.
>>722026702CD Projekt Red goes to certain companies and essentially licenses their IP to make fixed versions of their games to dump on their storefront.RE Trilogy, some of the Blizzard classics, etc. All were put on there via that method.
i wont never help cybershit company
>>722026461I'm glad I stopped using GOG months ago. I was afraid this was going to happen.
>basically giving games away for free>losing money Im sure they're unrelated.
>>722028057Galaxy is still browsing a web page to download games. It's also slow.
>>722027775Wikipedia begs every 6 months too, and they haven't shut down yet.
>>722028358Wikipedia doesn't sell a product as far as I know. Their whole model is based on donations. When you sell games and you need to beg people for money as they give you money, something's broken. It's as if 3 people are spinning a ladder while one holds a light bulb.
>>722026537>>722027378This is a typo and they mean million, right?For example Cyberpunk 2077 cost $316,000,000 and generated $752,000,000 in revenueHow can a business on that scale fret over $300,000 one way or the other
>>722028819If they keep losing money at that rate they'll be bankrupt within four centuries
Recession indicator
>>722028819Bro gog doesnt make that much money
>>722028819But we're talking about GOG, not Cyberpunk. I'd bet dollars to donuts everyone bought CP2077 on console or Steam.
>>722028819Talmudic accounting, all big companies have jew accountants to cook the books.
>>722028938>>722028950But they're the same company
>>722027435>downloading an installer and double-clicking on it>a cumbersome and retarded way of downloading games
>>722029002CDPR and gog don't comingle their financials. That'd be embezzlement
>>722028465They are monetizing a service just like GOG is, you nerd.
>>722027378rate hikes, pay attention to the finance costs post
>>722028012no way
>>722026702By giving away games for free every month through Amazon Prime Gaming.
>>722028358wikipedia foundation is heavily in the black and doesn't need a penny. check out their finance reports for a good laugh.
>>722029002But they're not the same divisions. GOG is floundering. The game is successful elsewhere, so you cut your unprofitable side.People like to talk about MS products tanking (like the Xbox). They cut those products, despite the company as a whole printing money.>>722029107>downloading 50 individual files for some games>then installing it after the fact>nevermind the fact that the web page download system is ungodly slowPicrel is a game with 14 individual parts to download. I'm getting 7.6MB/s. I get nearly 25x that speed on Steam. I can break 100MB/s on Galaxy, but that's still slow as balls.
>>722029187If you need people to pay you to keep your store open, then maybe what you are selling is worthless.
>>722027486I dunno, maybe one day it'll hit you Over the Head
The fuck you want me to do, I have lots of gog versions of games. I would pay more often but they hardly put anything new on the store anymore I'd like.
>>722026461Well no shit. Most of you use it as a tool to pirate, what did you expect? Lmao
>>722029303>People like to talk about MS products tanking (like the Xbox). They cut those products, despite the company as a whole printing money.Isn't the exact opposite of this trueXbox has lost money for 24 of the 25 years it's existed and it's propped up entirely by the Windows and Office money printers in the same building
They even asked for tips last time I bought something, I threw them $5 because why the hell not, but it's seriously concerning that pretty much the only incentive for preserving old games is moral principle/charity because it's not profitable in the slightest it seems.
>>722029503You're agreeing with me via a misread. Xbox has flopped dramatically for 3 out of 4 generations. It's getting a restructure as the ultimate multiplat console or a complete drop of the console (rumors say both, so it's uncertain what they'll settle on). MS can afford to lose on it in hopes of the big payday due to other incredibly profitable ventures, but they're at the point where they're going to cut their losses and try other things.This happened before with the Zune and other flops.CDP is in a relatively similar situation. CDPR generates fucktons of money, and GOG is flopping. CDP as a whole is doing well, but they're eventually going to decide losing money on GOG isn't worth it.
>>722027181apparently you can just add non-steam games to your steam library and link will work as usual
>>722029294wait, WTF? Am I reading this right? Their liabilities are $15m and their assets $290m?
>>722029872yeah they're filthy rich. their main expense is all the people they have begging for money, lmao.they 2x spend more on PROCESSING FEES than they do on hosting
>>722029503>he believes that microsoft would keep Xbox alive for 25 years if it only loses money>he didn't see the slides and exhibits from epic vs appleSure.
>>722029980NTA, but I think they would have canned it earlier if the 360 didn't give them that taste of winning.
>>722029872>travel 5Mthat's a lot of business class miles
>>722030057*5.8M
>>722026702Probably a poorly run company full of useless employees. All that gog needs is two web designers, a small backend team that is mostly in charge of running the content delivery networks, a legal compliance team and a C suit. They probably have 30x that.
>>722030047They killed their phone, book store, the zune, and almost every other shitty thing. But Xbox is alive because...
>>722030151you are exactly correct. IIRC about a year ago they reported having ~130 employees for some reason.
Steam is stupidly lean. The main dev team is like a handful of people at Valve.Everyone else are contractors.GOG has too much bloat for their scale.
>>722029972>>722030057>small family business please help us stay afloatHOLY JEWISHRY
>>722030151lol I knew it
NOOOOOOO ALL MY GAMES GONE
>>722030252>only 150
>>722030170Because console trends shift, and they won a generation with the 360. Had the 360 been a disaster like the original Xbox, they might not have made the One, and almost certainly never would have done the Series X.>>722030259It may be true, but I wonder where they pull that info from. You have business scrapers that show a jeet Co-CEO of Valve (that Steamies schizo loves to post) because it pulled from his LinkedIn where he falsely claimed it.
>>722026702>pay giant publishers to put your game on your platform>PC fags pirate your games because you literally advertise that there's no protection>never see profit
>>722026461>Stop fucking using Steam.Not practical.I do buy a given game on GoG if it's available there.
>>722030259nah no way that is right lmao
>>722030259>blindly posting AI slop without verifying
>>722026461Good. FUCK CDPR.
>>722030351I really don't see Microsoft making another console
>>722026461Does this mean GOG will start accepting adult games again?
>>722030362Posted in another thread, but I've been using Steam since 2007, and I'm not going to use>another store that fragments my library>an inferior storebecause they're "the good guys" (nevermind the fact that they put out this video to talk about how much they love ESG and diversity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU-db73BAFI).
>>722030420even worse, it's ai slop quoting just-make-shit-up free "market analysts". their financials have 6M PLN admin costs, which would include the staff and certainly won't hire 800 people
>>722030458They already announced their partnership with amd
They won't kill GOG, it's the the reason CD Projekt was founded. They could definitely be less retarded in running it, though.
I'm sure GOG was/is making profit but CD Project skewed/is skewing the numbers by offloading their Studio Red losses to the store.
I would buy from gog, but key sites only ever use steam. I also use steam's controller overlay a lot and don't want to constantly have to add non-steam games, which look lame as well because their pages aren't populated with anything in the library.So I'm bound to steam.
>>722026461PC gaming is failing. One store after another will fall. Soon there will be none left that isn't controlled by Ubisoft, Konami, or EA.
>>722031798>Ubisoft>he doesn't know>Konami>he erroneously believes>EA>he doesn't read the news
>>722031798PC gaming is doing more than fine. GOG has always been a bloated mess that's dancing around the line of barely breaking even.
>>722031798>PC gaming is failing.in opposite world sure
>>722026702Who knows, they also spent a couple of years making that dumb one launcher idea a center of their marketing efforts.
>>722026985thet get EU tax money, which means my money, which means I consider all of their stuff already paid for and free
Some of my humble bundles are on the gog store. They better not shut down.
>>722026461Maybe GOG should lighten up their approval process and start actively courting developers for new and old games so they can stop being nogaems compared to Steam. This whole "curation" thing clearly isn't working out very well for them, they can't afford to keep being picky.
>>722026461>Finance costsThe interest on loans is killing them.
>>722033382If the grapes aren't on GOG, they're sour, sweaty. :3
>>722026461>>722029303I just have one very important question...Can we blame this on France for suing them and forcing them to go public?>Tried to look for a source>Google just ignores my search and only gives me recent shit about investors being mad about Cyberpunk and something about the Witcher author.>It ignores "French", "France", "working conditions", "rise of the white wolf, "console port">Other search engines all do the same shit.>Even Yandex which I considered to be my savior from modern web search now is among them>They all ignore everything and give me near identical resultsI hate the modern Internet so goddamn much.It took way longer than it should but this might be it.https://www.cheatcc.com/articles/cd-projekt-loses-witcher-2-lawsuit/
Steam gods win again
>>722027181The thing is they suck. They censor like removing that Taiwan horror game and said it was due to "after feedback from concerned gamers!" They have no spine as shown when Postal 2 came to GoG they tweeted a video of Dude pissing on a grave that said "video game journalism" then removed it and apologize "we did not meant to post a gamergate reference, which is a hate movement!" They do not add LAN to games because they actually want you to use their shitty launcher for multiplayer (so much for being about freedom and anti-DRM) and then they give half-ass support to Linux if any at all. They are just worthless in general and have always half-assed their actual mission statement.
>>722026461As someone who don't care about PC; only retards didn't know this was going to happen, everytime somebody brought up GOG was as a some sort of crusade against Steam trying to deny Valve's monopoly and control over PC game software. Therefore as any retarded crusade trying be contrary denying reality is bound to meet an inminent failureSteam's success was so big you can't stop being cucked by their game renting in disguise and everyone else was fighting a lost battle. The truth is; masses don't give a shit about that, only price and Steam won that long ago and has the name recognition so anyone that has lower prices is reduced to getting the crumbles left
>>722035014Retarded consolebabbies should stop acting like they know anything.
GOG legit sucks so this isnt surprising
>>722032834i use that launcher, is useful
>>722036248You GOGfag.
>>722026461Blame the steam cocksuckers
>>722028230>so slow>gigabit downloadWhat?
>>722036448Isn't there a Nintendo thread you should be shitting up right now?
>>722037312No, I'm not one of those boycott retards if you're assuming that in your seething
>>722029872Wikipedia is funded by the American government through the backdoor, it (and the internet as a whole really) is an information weapon first and foremost.
>>722037879
>>722036845>noooo you have to shop at this store that doesn't sell the games you want to buynah
>>722026461>sells fan patches of old titles for those that are too dumb or inpatient to patch games themselves>claim you will sell certain games but then back out due to CCP pressure>introduce games with DRM onto their storefront (Hitman) despite that being the opposite of what GOG is for>tell publishers of smaller and/or niche titles, many of which do not have any explicit content in them, that they aren't welcome on the store despite these titles also not being available on SteamThey're a bunch of retards and deserve to go under
>>722030252>>722030295I genuinely dont see see the problem of 150 employees for what is the 5th biggest site in the world
>GOG dies>I still have all my DRM free games Oh no!
I don't like GOG
>>722028104Don't forget Dino Crisis!
>>722038716But you won't have any more then those. Then you can pay for them on steam or try your luck with a cracked version
I like GOG
>>722038663mediawiki runs itself. it's 150 sinecures.
>>722026461>/ourguys/btw gog is so irrelevant that they have to pay studios like capcom, sega and square enix, each up to a million $ to bring a single classic game to the storefront because the studios would be losing money on a platform with no market share. its very similar to apple paying $15M to capcom for the RE iphone ports
>>722030252>150 staff>>722029872>107 million per year for salaries and benefitsHuh?
>>722039187Where did that info come from?
>>722026461lmfao Steam offers a better service fuck u
>>722026461top gog
>>722026461I buy stuff on there sometimes but the discounts usually suck ass. The discounts on steam suck ass too but at least I can always buy a key from a different store like fanatical or gmg or from a grey market site.
>>722027181>but steam link makes it so I prefer steam so I can stream to my phone in my bed every now and then.
>>722028230So is the Steam client. Entirely built on Chromium, every element in the Steam client you see and interact with is just HTML+Javascript+CSS
>>722027181Steam link works with all games, not just those on steam. Just add them if you don't want to switch to desktop.
GOG is to steam what linux is to windows
>>722040697Except gog doesnt support linux
Gog is gagging on DEI hires
>>722040884>linuxsissies can't support GODgdamn, and they said 99.9% of all games work on linux except for online lol.
>>722040997catering to freetards are always a mistake
>>722026461I dont care. I stopped buying once they started preserving shit like resident evil & dmc that had dedicated autist already
>>722041058*is
>>722039187>would be losing money on a platform with no market shareThat's a stupid sentence.
>>722029504People don't want non-DRM old games that have been reworked to play on modern systems.
>>722041103Are you that dedicated autist or are you not dedicated?
GOG doesnt have the games that i want
>>722043951yeah sorry. strict no fag stuff policy
>>722042143less % buy on gog than epic do even when excluding fortnite
>selling expenses 19kJust find a way to reduce it by 1k
>>722026461Get woke go broke gog cucks
Theres just no reason to buy old games im not giving modern activision money for shit they made 20 years ago when NONE of those people that made the game are even there anymore
I got a few old games, I'm not going to provide life support ffs
>>722032671>>722032438everything but steam fails you guys are locked on a system and i've seen you steams cry if you gotta use something else
>>722026461Karma for CP2077. They have to pay for all their lies one way or the other.
>>722038934New product badOld product good
>>722048041you need to be 18 years or older to post her lil guy
>>722026702Not use any sort of protection
Why does GOG keep trying to sell me porn games?
>>722049684>Elvira>Porn game
>>722050134Have you SEEN this game?I recommend all gooners pick it up and give it a try.
>Go back on your no-regional pricing promising >Nearly go back on your no DRM promise>Keep releasing games with no fixes for modern systems inbuilt Good each shit polacks
>>722050302I played it in the day. It's basically Shadowgate with some combat thrown in, and Elvira is barely in the game, not that zoomies would know what she's from anyways.
>>722026461it's not what it's saying but whatever
