Granted some video is better than nothing, but I am respectfully confused by GOG featuring cinematic introduction videos in their gamecards instead of trailers or gameplay segments. Some games like Tropico 4 or Startopia are impossible to decipher from the video that is shown making me have to go seeking additional footage on YouTube. It's be amazing if GOG incorporated gameplay trailers (rather than cinematics) into their game cards when available. It's a minor pet peeve but I wondered if the emphasis on cinematic interludes bothered anyone else.

Actually i tend to agree. Ive looked at videos of some games on sale on GOG and lot of them only show the intro sequences or cinematics and virtually no gameplay or how game actually looks....

Gog isn't the one providing videos. The owner of the games are.

You do not own those games. You own distributed copies of them. ;)

What is "ownership" but a hollow term brought about by the fascist industrialist military tyrants who run the world in an effort to further subjugate, demean, and enslave the common man?

Well for starters, it's at least 17 points in Scrabble...

Well we only had to put two chimps in a room to achieve that. Azilut just saved me the time of finding the chimps.

I like those cinematics, I used to buy games just to watch the intros so it's saving me money,

I used to do the same thing, especially regarding Blizzard, Final Fantasy or other RPG games. But as far as information content goes, I'd like to see gameplay scenes or short trailers (gameplay scenes interwoven with cinematics).
