If you’ve been hanging around for a while, especially in the <a href=”"[url=http://www.gog.com/games">games]http://www.gog.com/games">games[/url] tab</a>, you may have noticed that the growing number of items on our virtual shelf was inching closer and closer to our very first thousand - lo and behold, just this week we made it through our first 1k.

We could start off by thanking the Academy, our moms, and hoping for world peace - and it's not that we don't want to say all those things, but before we do, we want to thank the most important people that made it possible - all of YOU. It may sound a bit turgid and you might not believe that we're tearing up a little as we click "publish" on this piece of news, but you guys are the ones that make GOG.com what it is and our reason to continue bringing you more great games.

Before we break out the fruit punch, though, we want to honor those of you who almost caught up with us. We dug through our records and picked fifty users that have the most boxes on their own virtual shelves.







Let's all give an alphabetically ordered round of applause to:

Antarian, astrugar710, atomsword, AutumnYears, baketomato, Barry_Woodward, benjam47, budejovice, CuriousTwoAtGOG, Darthmort, Disciple_of_Doom, djr155, DonCorleon, Gersen, gorrrrrr, Heirgeir, howardtduck2005, ilcollezionista, jabba1971, JDelekto, KajQrd, kiwy, Kodijack, kotokimura, Lafazar, liquidBass, lobo_1, Loenas, maweball, mrkgnao, MTR77, Murfallo, mwmwm, n0nam3, OlK76, onthemike, palyea, Pantoprazol, sbaylus, Serpico, ShadowWulfe, Silvanus2004, soulroar, tippete, TrevWar, turbond, vasyl, VuA, xckx, and ZombieGum.








We will be contacting these guys personally for T-shirt sizes and mailing addresses for a little, personalized thank-you. We are off to celebrate - but before we go, here's to another thousand digital boxes on the GOG.com shelf!
Party, party, let's party :))))

Congratulations to GOG for 1K Games. Now let's move towards 2K Games, shall we?

I see what you did there.

tinyE: XD Steam is fine; that wasn't the point of the joke. :P
OK, I get it now. *laugh*

Grargar: Yes.
Then we don't really reached the 1K .

catpower1980: Oh yeah, I noticed the 1K games milestone this morning while browsing the store. Congrats to GOG folks even if a lot of cheating (aka unbundling) was involved to reach that number quicker ;)
avatar
Grargar: There has been no cheating from GOG's part, as the unbundling didn't affect the number of offered items in the catalog. Mortal Kombat 1+2+3, for instance, still counts as one item in the catalog, even though it takes 3 boxes in the account.
Cool down, I'm just teasing a little bit ;) BTW, how come then that user library count increased and not the catalog count? Or maybe I buy games when I'm in an altered state and don't remember it :o)
Keep up the good work :]


Oh and less movies xp
Don't really need them here xp

A better line would have been, "Thanks for the T-shirt, but I already got it on Steam."

It's early, I'm off my game and I need coffee. :P
Congratulation GOG :)
It's a great achievement already to have 1000 DRM-Free games in your store ! Keep up this way !
But now, time to party ! :D

Better yet, "Thanks for the T-Shirt", I'm going to get it Steamed.

skeletonbow: ...............

I've got 335 bundled games that amount to 402 unbundled titles now on my shelf including the Galaxy client, which is approx 1/3 of the catalogue. There are about another 150 titles on my wishlist, but it blows my mind that some people have almost the entire catalogue. Not in a "why????" sense, because I can think of a number of viable reasons for someone to do that, but it is still impressive whether one does it because they can afford to and they want to vote with their wallet for DRM-free gaming and support GOG for doing this and feel they are in a position they can do that, or whether they are just collectors that can afford it and derive pleasure collecting or even those who might have a disorder about it. Either way - wow! :)

402 games ? thats alot i only have 304 games including a few that were free like beneath a steel sky...
i am only 220 days on gog so thats not bad 304 games total thats almost a game every day.. if i had more cash i might have 600 now
but the fact is also that theres a lot of 3d FPP games published all over the world and those are not my cup of tea, so compared to that i already have a very nice collection in such a small period.

The games remained bundled in the catalog, they were only unbundled in the users libraries.
Congrats to all the winners :))))

Let's keep buying more GOG games!!!

Yes, let's move towards 2KKKKKK!!!!

I can only hope those on that list from the forums ask GOG to save their resources and plough them into fixing things around here instead.

Probably not a popular idea, but its what immediately popped into my head.

Congratulations at any rate.

I'm cool. :) I'm only explaining that the number of games on offer wasn't affected by the unbundling. As for why one increased and not the other? Well, there are no individual store pages for the unbundled games.
