amok: why? rep is pointless... and now I think the only reason you made this thread is to get quick rep. I am more likely to down-vote and mark as spam.
Please don't do that. That is not what the 'Report as spam' feature is for. Anyone who's hung around these forums very long has seen ACTUAL spam ('BAMWAR' etc.) filling up various forums here at times, and knows what it looks like; this is not it. It always pisses me off when a thread in which I was having a conversation vanishes into oblivion without warning -- all because some asshole* thought "Spam is whatever annoys me, or I disagree with, or find irrelevant."
Downrep someone if you must -- though I don't think this person really warrants it (so far) -- but please don't abuse the spam feature (assuming you were serious, and not just trying to make a point or something). It's the abuse of systems like that that could eventually lead to the introduction of dedicated forum moderators, and the loss of some of the freedoms we've enjoyed here so far.

Begging for rep is probably not going to win you any admirers. Try interacting with the community in a positive fashion -- posting constructively/entertainingly in various threads, answering questions, maybe once in a while dropping a spare gift code on somebody (though not everyone can afford to do that, of course). Before you know it, you'll have a small but respectable rep.
...However, as amok mentioned, rep here is rather pointless. As long as you have enough so you can post links (and no more than 10 rep is required for that), a higher rep conveys absolutely no benefits. There are regular forumites who are total assbags with reps in the high hundreds, and there are really nice people (or people who've been using GOG since the beginning) who have reps in the 30s or lower -- simply because they hardly ever post in the forums. Basically, be decent to people, try to be helpful, try to keep the fanboyishness in check :D , and don't get hung up on a largely meaningless number. =)

no worries, I have not actually used the '-' button for years now (except for some of KinG PiRacY's posts...). Rep is pointless, and negative rep doubly so. As long as the OP do not suddenly start making several "gOg is great - give me rep" threads, then it is all good. But it does make me feel used participating in this one, so I will bow out of it and leave him to it.

dont want it to start this only for gog fanboys.
i will like to see more expanded catalog as steam to gog.com but in their version
and with that sayed why not even replace steam for gamers around the world it doesnt seem unrealistic to me at all

nes400: dont know why devs like drm soo much it hurts gamers, but yeah they know whats better for the industry right?
Publishers do their best to fill every good game with the DRM plague. We do our best not to buy it. It's that simple! Support the DRM-Free versions of the games. Support the devs/pubs that deserve it.
methinks needs more da engrish editing, and less witcher 3 hype. damn, witcher 3 threads!

EDIT: oh , and HATRED: The Desura KILLER app!

Hello, nes400!

You have discovered this place where you can get legitimate copies of wonderful games for free, and the urge to get them ALL RIGHT NOW was born. A common mistake made by many gamers coming from fucked-up countries like yours and mine.
You're new and obviously a kid, so let me give you some advice.
Here at GOG things don't happen RIGHT NOW, it just doesn't work like that.
Begging for rep or hustling for games isn't going to make things any better or going any faster.
I see some of the regulars are accusing you of being a scammer, I really don't care if you are one or not and certainly don't have the time to check to whole story out.
However, I do have time to tell you this.
If you have done something wrong the best possible thing to do is to admit your mistake, apologize for it, try to participate in this lovely community we have here and don't do any "funny" business any more.

Take care and good luck! :)

amok: hehe... then why make a thread with the title "GOG.com the Steam Killer"?
I thought it was to whore out for +rep, since he's apparently being downvoted for being (at best) a leech, and at worst a scammer.

but then the wisdom of creating a Steam vs gOg thread... and thinking it would not turn into a...umm... Steam vs. gOg thread....

While I appreciate your good naturedness, it's readily apparent that scammers and leeches only weaken the community and strengthen mistrust among people in the forums...and for what, so some little wanker can get his lolz while gleefully satiating his greed for free games. I think it's safe to say that the more regular members here have seen it all before (Anyone remember that scammer who was impersonating regular forum members by exploiting font kerning issues in browsers?), and are sick and tired of it.

Hello. I personally really enjoy playing games with Steam. Especially at the moment, my favorite cs go game is available on this platform absolutely free.

I really enjoy playing counter-strike, but apart from classic matches, I collect weapon skins. Just yesterday my collection was replenished with the "..." skin, for a long time I tried to get it. It's unbelievable.
