From Good Old Games, a value-adding prestige project highly regarded by customers and running at an acceptable loss, to literally GOG: a money sinkhole, a bloated monster born by hubris selling broken releases and sinking the company into a dismal hellscape of anime lolis and cringe "narrative experiences" ruled by trannies.
That's what you get when you do not render unto Gabe what is Gabe's.
Yet when Gaben is himself rendered unto God, what's happening to GOG will likely seem like a joke compared to what'll happen to Steam.

Gamepass style subscriptions seem like they will be the future. With all these megacorps gaming companies forming. The new cable for zoomers and millenials. Buy a subscription play whatever game you want released by your favorite studios! Fallout 5, Pillars of Eternity 4! The possibilities are endless!

Gamepass is the most infuriating thing I have seen in the gaming industry in recent year. It will clearly be hamfisted through it's necessary use for multiplayer.

The only explanation I can think of for this active self-sabotage is that GOG's budget is being used to steal money away from the company and distribute it among friends, family and potential plaintiffs of CDPR directives, a process that's been accelerated as the prospects of post-Cybercrap 2077 dividends don't look so hot to the owners anymore. At first it was sad, then comical but as I look back at what Good Old Games once was this yearslong charade becomes frankly infuriating. Bunch of retards.

Statistically, one of the Poles here in the Codex must work at CDPR: we know you are reading this, so please publicly punch in the face whomever is in charge of GOG. Long live the new 'dex.

Or someone behind the scenes wishes to make a lot of money on Put options shorting CDPR stock, and the best way to do that is to tank the company from the inside. Wouldn't be the first time it had been done.

Will non-GoG installs for cd based old games still work on modern operating systems like W10?

Depends. If the installer (or executable) is a 32-bit program then it should run, but there are numerous other things to check for first.

But if it's a 16-bit program, then it won't run without a wrapper. Check this post for more info. (Check out the whole thread for more info in general.)

Be careful with some of that stuff... It's not worth installing Starforce or other hyper-aggressive DRMs along with the games.

I thought all starforce shit was stripped? Though, I'm always hesitant about trying Ruins of myth drannor again. Yeah, that sucked.

Your ignore list.
https://af.gog.com/en/news/join_us_in_celebration_of_the_pride_month_on_gog?as=1649904300

Poz month sale so go buy Pozfinder and Disco Furry and other gay gaymez.
The backlash over at the GOG forums is a surprise: https://af.gog.com/forum/general/jo..._pride_month_on_gog_e9f95/page1?as=1649904300

Lots of unhappy people with this faggotry. I can see the GOGestapo mods cracking down on all those bigots tomorrow and locking all further discussion.
