THQ is the only large-ish publisher who brings its games here consistently. So I throw as much as I can afford at them :D

Plus their logo/intro is pretty sweet/nice.
With AAA publishers now wanting to have their own online stores and DRM launchers, the chances for GOG are getting slimmer and slimmer. I don't see anything good coming our way anytime soon. Hope i am wrong tho and GOG pulls out something great :). Cheers

AAAs are too niche, apparently!

I think not everything will make it on to GoG and for some games if you really want to play it you might have to suck it up and get it on that other platform sadly.
Next to none. But i don't think that's a bad thing. If GoG focused on understanding the indie and middle-market and putting effort into marketing said sections they could very easily carve out a much more effective catalogue and ideal in the public eye.

The lack of push for things like Diablo, Bound by Flame etc etc suggest if even they got triple A stuff they wouldn't be ready or able to push them out and bring in further eyes

Enebias: None (minus CDPR's own games, obviously).

Almost the entirety of "AAA" (such arrogance in this self-determined definition!) games consists of awful games where "fun" has been erased in favor of "engagement" and "recurring user spending", a.k.a. not legally gambling which is totally gambling in the end. The good non-indie games are all to be found in the middle-shelf section, works like Divinity Original Sin or Senua's Sacrifice. That's why I'm happy Focus is releasing more games lately, they fit the definition of what I want perfectly.
AAAs can rot where they are.
Second the sentiment we dont need more souless no mans sky / call of duty / world of warcrafts hybrids that focus 90% of their budget on advertisement, 5% on trying to get their chimera to function and the other 5% to reuse the exact same assets of the previous iterations.

Indie is where its at; it's just the idea has to be good offering some long term replayability.
By not being money grubbing ultracapitalist douches (because they can't having a tenuous following saving them from obscurity) their products are more hit than miss.

The misses are also usually obvious; i mean how many are trying to cash in on dwarf fortresses famel they just copy a lack of general control, forget in depth world building because it'd take years and try to update the graphics; and it just turns out an obvious shill.


I wouldn't mind if the only AAA's were brought to us by CDPR I just wish i was interested in some of their design choices (looking at you combat system in witcher series); because i'm not going to buy a product to essentially just donate money to a company.

If they bring out a game that can hold good value i'll pay a good price for it, but GOG for me has done their dash with pre orders (with the mount & blade viking expansion).
If they haven't got good enough will for top dollar back right away it's because "you can't be both a jerk and a godsend then expect anyone to treat you better than simply human".

No I don't, as any game I would want that bad should still be worth of my attention later when it is officially sold DRM-free or it has become abandonware and if it then fails to live up to that expectation, I have only spared my younger self from wasting his time on a game that I obviously should have known better to ignore entirely.

but what about a game like Overwatch? that probably will never be made DRM free. I say if you want to play it enough get it on that platform to play it even if you do not really want to. if the game is that good and that exciting to you play it but then again that is also up to you

The OP is incorrect. It says that THQ goes "all-in" on GOG. But no, it doesn't.

THQ has plenty of GOG games that they don't bother to give Achievements for even though those same games on Steam do have Achievements.

Unequal, parity-lacking, feature-removed games is certainly not "all-in," and THQ should be ashamed of themselves until if/when they do the right then and bring 100% Achievement parity to all of their GOG games, past, present, and future.
