Thanks for the info.

And the Epic daily free game has started, with one today, and another mystery one tomorrow (less than 9 hours away).
And we presume it will be for 12 days maybe.

Huh? Can you elaborate? One has always been able to download offline installers. It's basically one of GOG's main features, and that hasn't been removed. The only thing nowadays you can't exactly have is older offline installers, but you can still download the entire install of that version of the game as if you used it.

You've replied in the wrong thread.

I made that statement in another thread, not this one.

And it was in reference to the success page after making a purchase.
It has the icons on the left for the game(s) you just acquired at GOG.
And on the right half we now have a huge banner for Galaxy, and some basic instructions on use.
Nowhere does that page mention Offline Installers, last I looked.
The focus is entirely on using the default direct download & install method of Galaxy.
You could legitimately complain, that GOG are keeping new customers ignorant of the Offline Installers.
And are trying to browbeat the rest of us into using Galaxy too, in that manner.

I deliberately put it in this one because this is the purpose of this thread.

Your entire focus on Galaxy is not everything, nor is what you're saying entirely true. First off, one does not even need Galaxy, and nowhere when I make a purchase does it even mention Galaxy. I've been using a web browser like I've been doing from the pre-Galaxy days the same way ever since. Galaxy is hardly ever pushed for that matter. The advertising just shows it exists.

Meanwhile, what you're saying about offline installers on Galaxy is incorrect. It's actually pretty much the same as just going to the games library on a web browser. No, GOG isn't incompetent here, should you know where to look. They don't have to advertise it, but it really is there and has always been there. You're just looking in the wrong place. Ultimately though, i have hardly ever needed Galaxy for anything except to find older installs of games. There is no push whatsoever though.

GOG hasn't ignored anything. Maybe it's largely not well advertised, but GOG isn't incompetent here when it comes to availability.. They're even nice enough to let you install older versions of games anyway.

Epic current giveaway have hit a wall.
Seems like everyone or atleast many are getting blocked by Cloudflare, or if it is Epic getting blocked.

Wow, there's so many trying to access it Cloudflare probably thinks it's a DDOS attack ^_^

The purpose of this thread is about giveaways at other stores. It has nothing to do with what you are discussing at all.

And the rest of your reply, which I certainly aren't going to discuss further in this thread, as it is totally off-topic, just shows you have no clue what I was talking about, you have completely grabbed the wrong end of the stick ... it is almost like you are on drugs.

You are not going to get any further replies from me in this thread.
And if you want further replies from me in the correct place, I suggest you re-read properly what I wrote, because you have things upside down and arse about. In other words, you completely misunderstood what I wrote.

If you're trying not to be ignorant, you shouldn't be doubling down with more ignorance. Your argument is invalid.
