- They drop the Good Old Games label and start taking in all sorts of crap games when they could have continued to focus on attaining licenses for old and popular titles. But maybe we should give them a break here, considering they were trying to compete with Steam and wanted to expand their offerings.
- After this decision, they pretty much turn their backs on new Indie titles that might interest fans of older games (complete fail initially on Grimoire, for instance). Meanwhile Steam fills in that gap on major indie efforts and does its Greenlight program to promote lesser indies that have significant fan backing.
- Steam decides to no longer support hentai and western adult games. GOG has a small window to take advantage of that, but does nothing (except for the old, popular Leisure Suit Larry series), despite being a European company where sexual content is more culturally permissible. Steam reverses its decision about a year or so later and now there's a ton of adult material always being touted on its website. GOG only follows suit this year and for shitty games like the ones
catfood and
El Presidente are showing above.
