Oh the irony.the grunt intern answering customer e-mails might not know the ins and outs [...]
I have to wonder how hard it could be

That's a court martial right there.... USB optical reader...
I have a theory about this. I suspect that the problems began when GoG started hiring new managers, either young people or types from the west(it does not matter they represent both the same cancer). Because you see I have a fair bit of experience with what is taught in management faculties and on various courses that concern themselves with management. The one thing that all of these have in common is that they teach less about leadership and more about dictatorship, meaning that a core idea in all of them is that the employees are either some form of Untermensch or a straight up enemy you just have to put up with. The direct consequence of this is that most managers believe that all employs are 100% interchangeable and that they are to be only tolerated only as long as they do not step out of the line, the second they do the meta strategy is to go "FUCK'EM".Sometimes I honestly wonder if GOG is run by idiots.
For the games from 90's securing rights to different language versions is much harder than you think.I reached out to them several times over the years and they told me it's not about obtaining the files, but securing the rights. Admittedly, the grunt intern answering customer e-mails might not know the ins and outs, but I have to wonder how hard it could be to offer a Big Mac and a coffee to whoever holds the rights to the Afrikaans audio for a 90s RTS.
I wonder if I'm the only one
it's beyond messy from what I understand, especially the further you go back as individual rights holders die and the rights get transferred to family members who have to be hunted down and may not even realize they own the legal rights to some of these games/franchises. Or you have cases like Dune II, where the Herbert Estate refuses to allow anyone to touch it because they think it degrades the overall value of the "Dune" franchise and want people to not know about it.rights.
Why the fuck would you be using Galaxy to begin with? GOG's whole selling point was a simple, no-bullshit videogame distribution platform - no local client, no DRM, no auto/mandatory patches, you buy and then actually own a copy of your game. If you want Steam, just use Steam and put up with the consequences. CD Projekt should've never gone down the Galaxy rabbit hole.The Galaxy client particularly has been a disaster and remains on my system solely as a background service for http://playnite.link to open and close as needed because it's still crashing constantly a year and a half later.
Wat. I personally know precisely one classic game which has hands down better potato localization than the original version (which is also made even more impressive by the fact that the original is actually very good). Your country either has the best loc providers in the world or you're highly overvaluing this.An old-school grognard isn't going to play G-Police or Dark Reign in English, that would defeat the point. You don't buy nostalgia products just to disregard what makes it a nostalgic experience in the first place.
I'm usually the first to criticize gog for shitiness and/or laziness of their releases, but they did make some good and classic games that were p much impossible to run properly available and functional. Chaos Gate and Wizards&Warriors, for example.don't rly understand the worship of GOG for taking games that were already available everywhere and repackaging them with dosbox
You know, I used to disagree with that, but I changed my mind recently.don't rly understand the worship of GOG for taking games that were already available everywhere and repackaging them with dosbox
Staffers and executives took all that sweet money from CP2077 presales and ran.Another example of gog's decline: Their customer service used to be second to none. Ever since Cyberpunk happened, it has been abysmal.
Wizards&Warriors
Chaos Gate
The gog releases work well with no issues out of the box

It would be glorious if somehow Rance games made it into GOG but not Steam, as the latter already had statements made that no Rance game would get to Steam, ever.

Try allkeyshop.com for that, it's a grey market ITAD. Also gg.deals has both normal shops and grey market sites.Thanks for the heads up, I don't know if I'll ever play it but for 29 cents I can't miss out on this. I bought Ion fury for 6 bucks there last week, I don't remember it ever being that cheap (sadly it appears IsThereAnyDeal doesn't have CDKeys listed on its list of sites it searches).
It's included, the trial is for the entire amazon prime package, which the gaming section is a part of.So, like the amazon books, music, etc etc; even if you have a PRIME account already they want to bilk more of your $$$$$ go figure.
