It recently RE-introduced, the "Good Old Games support" and a newfound game voting list, like a glorified, reskinned wishlist.
Old fans remember them axing the Good Old acronym a long time ago, as well as re-shifting both priorities and resources, away from "making older games work in modern systems". This was right before becoming big time, entering the stockmarket, letting shareholders have a say etc. Most of the older games, such as Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines or The Suffering; Prison is Hell, were practically abandoned, to the goodwill of third party moders and fan-patch-makers, which didn't work at all times/for all players or simply, robbed you off having a functional vanilla game. Their support department, used to direct you over at aforementioned third party files, for fixing your game. But even post their recent announcement and the re-iteration of the feature, almost nothing changed.
Similarly, there had always been a wishlist, with thousands, even tens of thousands votes. Hot titles much in demand, almost never arrived, despite all the ruckus involved. And even when a game was wanted and its devs reached gog all by themselves (ex Agony, Hatred etc), the Curation Department at the time, used to turn them down, sometimes even more than three times in a row, despite players craving it, wanting to buy. What difference is their new, flashy looking, wishlist like thing, actually going to make? And why it needed a separate spot, where and when there had already existed, a dedicated forum part?
As if morally greying out the definition of DRM-Free wasn't enough before, or the implementation of a client that isn't optional at all, if you wish to enjoy certain parts of your "drm-free" games and everything else which already transpired... What are they thinking, toying with their users like that? Anybody has any clue?
