GoodOldDownloads shut down...

[Goi~Yaas~Dinn]

it probably is. he didn't mix "it's" and "its".

dat tinny bell tho

 

[Mustawd]

They also lock everything behind Windows-only installers, which is an even bigger pain in the ass (Machead here). The only time they provide raw files is if they think a game is multiplatform.

interesting.

Reading all the drama surrounding the matter is like... is this what happens when autists try to out-autist another group of autists? Doxxing game of chicken, I guess.

It honestly does sound like IGG are your typical bunch of Viet scammers. Complete with "me no speak engrish good white devir..." in their response, even.

 

[Goi~Yaas~Dinn]

I guess it was not igg only ~~fault. There was not a single accusation made by mercs213/god that were proven.

Sure, god was clean and all, but, since people loved mercs site, they bought his accusations without thinking much, and started to blame the shit out off igg guys.

Already read it. In one corner you have a pair of walking talking gook stereotypes with no opsec who put up a site that still tried hinky shit even through my ublock0 and clicking zero times anywhere on the page. In the other you have a dude that can type coherently, has some feel for anonymity, and attempted zero funny business as I browsed his site extensively (though no downloads were initiated; I already have all my shit archived).

I think you can do the math.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Ins't IGG the Russian faggots with an ads-riddled site?

but their database is huge. it's the only site on which grimoire figures.

the loss of goodolddownloads's sites is enormous, as far as i know noone is able to take their place.

They don't have Solium Infernum though, which is one I always look for because reasons.

 

[Skdursh]

There is a particular russian torrent tracker with a good collection of GOG installers. RUssian tracker, if you know what I mean...

Rutor is better for GOG releases in my opinion.

So, big corporations cant destroy the piracy scheme, but a soy vietenamese with baby face insta killed it? Rrrrrright.

And, btw, never saw a single tempered files in igg games.

I was at the beggining at god's "side", but now I started to become doubtful of the whole story.

It is an indisputable fact that IGG at one point had javascript-injection crypto-miner malware on their site. You really should do your research. Plus IGG almost always alters their game files to include their site information within the title screens of games and several games in the past have also been found to have been uploaded with malicious executables (more crypto-miners).

It's getting some press...

 

[CryptRat]

They don't have Solium Infernum though, which is one I always look for because reasons.

Just play the demo first (it's here) and if you like it then buy the game. Vic Davis deserves your money, I have spent dozens of hours on his Occult Chronicles. I never bought Solium Infernum because it seems like a game which gets really good in multiplayer while I play alone.

So, can you show us some proof, journo articles with solid evidence or anything that can support this claim?

This is extremely sad for everyone who counted on testing "Extended Demos" before buying. GOD not being malware-ridden and frequently updating builds was a lot better than the so-called Scene.

Yup, and it means only one thing... my career with gaming is finally over: no more buying games nor playing them, because
1) I can't test them and as such I cannot risk wasting money
2) I won't play "scene" releases, because most of the times they are actually plagued with bugs.

Number 2 is really not true.

 

[Fedora Master]

And so it ends, not with a raid or a cease and desist but with gay scene drama.

 

[Skdursh]

Really, after a certain time they will just stop updating at once instead of giving one final push and actually release the last and patched version. I can give you a variety of examples... Also, you are not supposed to know which version Gog actually released and you have to guess it, but given that I bought these games, I will provide a list.. just for being complete, some examples:

1) Inquisitor (game released in 2013) --> Current version on TPB: patch 1.10.16
Current version: 1.10.18
Note: It's an old game. As such, it is unacceptable to see old versions on the .net

2) Impossible creatures (game released in 2004). Not to be found in TPB, current version you can find within kickasstorrent is 2.0.0.3.exe, while the gog version reached 2.2.0.5

None of these two games is available on pc.games.net

3) Gothic 2. Try to find latest gog version on the net and let me know. Namely 2.7

The list can continue for days.

I have Gothic 2.7 and Inquisitor 1.10.18 and just found fresh download links for them with 5 seconds of searching. Your problem is you are searching for them in the wrong places. TPB and Kickass are complete shit.

Why wouldn't they? The industry has gotten *more* abusive and expensive, not less.

These days there's a perpetual sale on games, you can find a bunch of discounted games all the time.

Dude, if you think 'I have a decent PC but don't want to spend money on games because lol I can torrent them' is poor, then you have absolutely no idea of what poor is.

holy fuck, i remembered how ubilol tried to avoid problems with how shit the first ass creep was by announcing "we gave to the pirates a different version of the game with a lot of cherry picked bugs, they're not present in the version you buy, i totally swear" XD as if they did this



retards. retards never change.

 

[aweigh]

imagine being someone who un-ironically says they're "not playing scene releases"

lmao

All of them with unacceptable DRM, unless we're specifically talking GoG.

How does not wanting to waste money on the latest fetid triple-A turd birthed from spewing anus of the publishing industry translate into not wanting to buy games period?

Meh, that's highly subjective. For me 'unacceptable DRM' is something like TAGES, which has a limited number of activations. I can get behind not supporting that, but all of them?

Because his excuse was that he was 'poor', that has nothing to do with taste. So to address your point, it's not ok to waste money on 'the latest fetid triple-A turd birthed from spewing anus of the publishing industry', but it's ok to spend hours playing that same 'latest fetid triple-A turd birthed from spewing anus of the publishing industry' if you get it for free?

Any mirrors to the reports/doxxs? Both sites are down for me.

They removed the report. Clever girl.
