Hello.

No, GOG-Chan is not some obscure GOG site feature nobody from the new generation (post 2011) knows about.
No, its not some kind of anime with GOG in the name.

Thanks to 'DawEdhel' in his/her thread What's new in GOG blog I found this:

https://www.gog.com/blog/10-fun-facts-about-gog/

...and more specifically, the 4th fact (GOG-Chan image attached): So, why do I request of her return?
It's simple:

GOG's marketing through the Preservation Program has been quite strong and has been giving them results and although I do have many gripes with it (as previously discussed in many other threads), we do want GOG to successfully preserve classics and bring back to live games that can't even be played anymore.

To do that through deals with IP owners, and have that in good authority, they must show good numbers, and in fact, to show good numbers, they must sell and have good marketing to attract people.

Contrary to the popular opinion, this forum and GOG itself is not only for, and I don't like this expression for what it came to mean in some 'zoomers' circles, 'boomers'. We do have many millennials here too and some zoomers for sure. :P
GOG-Chan is a well designed mascot which could be used, together with the famous (or should I say, infamous) GOGBear, for marketing purposes for the new generation.

I can even see people cosplaying her in Twitch or Kick, or whatever, dressing their cats as GOGBear, which would be funny.

GOG's graphics designers were always known for being amazing with their arts in the past and for that we're thankful and with this thread I do hope you guys could somehow revive her in more popular circles, and not only in your internal company chat circle, as the blog explains. :)

Why not.... to do more...

Would you choose the best picture from what people will send for a contest of "Draw a GOG-Chan" made by Ya?
I will top it up with a game of choice for a winner : ) People could use IAm or AI to create it. Maybe original GOG-Chan will be lured here that way

GOG-Chan as a counter to Steam sale girl that was a huge hit last year?

I've been shopping here for six years, and this is only the 2nd time I've ever heard of a GOG-chan. So, I'd say it is rather obscure to say the least....even to people who shop here.

I received some sort of STL 3D printer file of GOG chan for some reason or other last year which was the first I ever heard of it.

Gonna be honest with ya...the GOG Bear has more charm and appeal for me. GOG-chan just seems like a NSFW kinda mascot and a cheap rip-off of STEAM

I nominate the GOG bear falling into the cosmic void though.

I propose using the HoMM troglodyte as a mascot and renaming it as goglodyte.

Pretty sure she's GOG-Tan, not Chan. Chan is diminutive, Tan is for things like the OS-Tan.

Or at least, that's how I'd do it.

I nominate voiding GOG Bear right alongside Tux and replacing the Linux mascot with Xenia, who is a cute fox girl.

I go for the bear.
slightly moe gamer girl could take further that whole issue with anime sexy games being rampant here (at least according to some) and with gamers being so because they actually lack real life romance (which while a bit true when speaking about myself, is such a crude stereotype).
-tans are slightly outdated and cringey as marketing props.
Above all, we all know that the real GOG mascot is our beloved Geralto-chan

Listen, I know I'm getting on in years, but I'm not ready to start taking my Geritol.

I love You people
🍿

Is it not the "human or bear" flame war from the last year, no?

Also, it could actually be "Chun": she's got the twin bun braids haircut after all..

I'm a millennial, I have no idea what a chan or a tan or whatever is, and I would appreciate it if you'd keep your ugly anime crap away from websites I frequent, and especially if you didn't try to associate it with respectable classic games. You can have your "chan" for jrpg sales, anime porn sales etc., but don't make it a more general thing.

Noooo! that's creepy graphics, GOG bear is much better.

I honestly don't care either way.

If I had one thing to add to that, it would probably be: I don't see the possible benefits of using her for GOG's marketing.

Well, you're probably not so representative of a whole age class. "Respectable classics" include very embarassing attempts at being glamorous, humorous or just transgressive, possibly made bigger by past context and technical limitations. Those revered masterpieces proudly include nearly every felony concievable (Carmageddon anyone?) gorgeously pixelated demon bloodshed (DOOM) or prominent triangle-shaped twin-wielded bombshells (Tomb Raider classic). And those should be kept in their intended, pristine state.
However, I actually agree that a sexy miss fanservice is not so necessary for GOG and could be not on point

It was obviously an utter failure as to date she's got only three entries on rule34 website.
