Painted_Doll: Looks like Telltale is so popular on Gog .
It *is* popular on GOG. It just isn't popular in the GOG Forums, where a very vocal minority (don't delude yourself thinking this is the vast majority of GOG customers, because it isn't) constantly complains about... well... everything, be it "GOG losing its principles", "every release being a roguelite with procedural generattion", "every release being a walking simulator", "the lack of GOOD OLD GAMES", "regional pricing", "Galaxy being DRM" (see "GOG losing its principles"), "lack of PROPER GAMERS' GAMES", "every release being a pixellated indie crap", "GOG turning down the games that matter for no reason", "GOG turning down games because they're 'too niche'", and the list goes on.
But the truth of the matter is that these games sell. They might not get pages upon pages of comments on these release/announcement threads, but the forums are kind of dying, anyway. Plus, why comment on these threads, if the usual suspects will just fill them with hate comments about price, genre, pre-ordering, Galaxy integration, studio loathing and distrust (see Devolver Digital, TellTale, Double Fine, etc)? People who want these games (and there are *a lot* of people who want these games) just buy them. Instead of checking the release threads, keep an eye on the 'Popular' list in the main page of the GOG.com site. Granted, the new Marvel's Guardian of the Galaxy episode doesn't make the list, yet, but bear in mind it was just released and GOG has a huge Witcher series sale going on, plus a Risen sale and a Bethesda RPG sale, as well, so it'll take a few days for it to show up in there. But it eventually will, given a few days.
If the GOG Forum community had any say in the matter, GOG would only be selling Baldur's Gate (the original games, not this "crap Beamdog put out, completely RUINING the genius that was there!"), Planescape: Torment (the original one, not the "Beamdog-tarnished version!"), Deus Ex (the BEST GAME EVER!!!), maybe the two System Shocks, maybe *some* adventure games, and a lot of CRPGs and strategy titles. Fortunately, the GOG Forum community doesn't get to chose what GOG sells, because, this way, those of us who want contemporary indie games, pixellated crap, walking simulators, episodic narrative interactive novels, procedurally generated roguelites, what have you, can still get our games in our store of choice. I'm all for freedom of choice, and all I see GOG doing is giving more customers the choice to buy the games they want from here. They're not removing the old games the Forum community ejaculates over by simply thinking about them, and they *do* keep releasing old games as much as possible, all things considered. So why get bothered when a game you don't like gets released? Just ignore it, and let those who like it enjoy it. That's what I do whenever GOG releases a new CRPG or strategy game that I couldn't care less about. I ignore it and stay happy for all the folks who really wanted those games here.
Sorry for the (perhaps misdirected) rant.
