GOG is practically a charity
They are spending money to preserve retro games and then sell them for $2

But as a consumer, I have no reason to complain.

This dude probably has some ideas about how to keep the company afloat, probably wants to go back to the Good old games shit it started with.
To be honest here, unless they modernize the submitting process and drop weight from the company, they won't ever be able to be financially viable.

Nigga, the store changed owners. Thats like starting a thread because Gamestop has a new ceo that will change things.

Its a store, it wont impact games
>>
>>729665427
That does sound like a lot, but if you include support staff for various regions, people that deal with IP law and getting new games, IT people for their infrastructure, PR, and payment fuckery. It might not be totally unreasonable a number. I work for a smallish company with a fairly small number of customers doing specialised embedded systems and we still number close to 200 people in total.

>>729660225
CD Projekt has been looking grim over the last few years so this is more likely a good thing than a bad thing
>>
>>729663301
they also allow devs to include nude patches for hentai games on their page

GoG is the WORST store, I really can't fathom the retards buying their pirated versions of games...

Anon, valve has 330 employees and not only they run an store worldwide, but they develop games too.
To run an store you don't need much more than like 30 or 40 people tops, specially one with such minimal traffic this has.

Bankruptcy is when you can't pay debts anymore. Assuming they aren't saddling GOG with debt (it's not leveraged by EA is) GOG can survive on itself because it breaks even.

>Michał Kiciński, one of the team who founded both CD Projekt RED and GOG (originally known as Good Old Games) is now the sole owner of GOG. The purchase was fully funded by external financing and Kiciński remains the second-largest individual shareholder of CDPR, holding 10% of the company's shares.
so instead of being owned by CDPR it's owned by...one of CDPR's biggest shareholders.
This literally doesn't change anything. What a nothingburger.

Thanks for reminding me. I just switched to Linux Mint and forgot to download my GoG library. Cheers op.

They also consistently update CS and DOTA, and they revamped for better or worse CSGO into CS2.

Are you sure it's a one-to-one comparison? I seriously doubt Valve handles world-wide customer support with only 330 employees. Without knowing how Valve and GOG are structured internally, it's kind of difficult to compare them.
>>
>>729675942
>technically not even out yet
duh, they are still developing it
it's almost like those devs are indeed at work
>>
>>729682714
>I seriously doubt Valve handles world-wide customer support with only 330 employees.
And I seriously doubt GOG has at least one employee per language they support, hell, the GOG store quite literally isn't even translated into spanish, the second most spoken language in the world, and they don't do customer support in spanish either.
>>
>>729683097
I never claimed they do. I only wanted to highlight that it is difficult to compare the two companies without knowing what the people that work there actually do. How much is done in-house vs how much they outsource. Saying that Valve can do it with 40 to 50 people vs GOG's 800 doesn't tell us much unless we know what they are doing.

That Valve as a company generates huge revenue per employee is a fact and nothing I'm trying to disprove.
>>
>>729660426
the shareholders wont be happy about this. AXE IT ALL
