;-) considering where you're from, I assume we're talking about an oil rig?

Hahaha, yes. No wonder the game didn't launch the last time I tried it. Turns out oil rigs don't run games too well.

If you like hidden object games I recommend the Grim Legend series..at 80% off they are a steal.

Why are you leaving GOG?

No. I heard you get a gaming mouse if you do.

A number of reasons. Generally I found GOG going downhill by a few years now.
I loved the initial GOG premise: fixed prices and old games.
Now all there is an half baked vision: only DRM free remains. Kind of.

But ultimately I found less and less interesting games on here.
Vast majority of releases being indie stuff that is not interesting and/or often relatively expensive.
Many games have delayed or missing patches compared to Steam.
Final blow is that I discovered HumbleBundle+Steam so much more interesting and money friendly.

And DRM free? Yes, is important, but GOG is making too many false steps.
Misjudged choices, half-delivered promises.
Do I really care so much for DRM free games?

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that The Bard’s Tale Trilogy came free with The Bard’s Tale IV (not sure if it only applies to the deluxe edition), I don’t know if that’s normal or a sale special. I only found this out right at the checkout because I had already purchased the trilogy very recently, that’s where it mentioned I wouldn’t receive an extra copy and thus found out about the bonus. Thankfully the staff was quick to refund the trilogy so now I have the whole series at a bargain price.

I’d already received the original Bard’s Tale for free with another recent purchase, strangely it came as a bonus serial code with another product even though it’s for GOG (maybe so you can give it to a friend). I was very lucky to find this out right as I was about to purchase it, so I seem to have a lot of penny-pinching luck with this series.

As another 'old, old gamer', I must say I care very much about DRM. And I am highly suspicious of anyone who says they do not and encourages others to do the same.

That said, we are seeing a glut of games similar to the '90s in comics. Almost all of it poor. Not just amateurish, but bad all around when compared to the more heartfelt stuff when it is more of a cottage industry of closer-knit, more intimate folks. Just my opinion. I stand by the DRM stuff though as objective fact. ;)

I don't advise anyone to give up DRM free SW.
I stated my personal situation and how I feel it.

I also struggle to believe, or support, GOG anymore, after the CP22077 debacle.

Imagine how much content you could receive if only Humble Bundle were to team up with GOG... It would be like "Every game ever made for PC in 1994, yours now for only $10!!!"

Sad to hear.
For me it is the DRM-free stance or GOG which will prevent me from leaving.I know recently GOG made some concerning moves egainst it's DRM-free-promise, but as long as GOG keeps its promise, I like to buy here.

While I totally understand you and like to hold on to hope myself, fact of the matter is GOG has taken a few step that can only make one wonder. That's how major changes come, gradually, by slowly introducing certain elements while trying to somehow align the customer to the new realities. I used to look with admiration at these companies, both GOG and CDPR I mean, and I have a lot to thank them for. But unfortunately we live in a world that shifts more and more to the online, digitalization and so on. More and more people feel the need for programs that can manage their libraries (be it music, movies, games, books, etc). This, I think, takes away from learning and curiosity, generally speaking. Why should one need to manage their games and folders and all that? A client can do it, it's about convenience.
Look at how aggressively platforms such as Spotify, Netflix, Amazon Prime (with its whole suite) are promoted these past years. Everything online.
Anyway, I started rambling so I'll drop it. Point is, GOG is following the trend and it's not good. At least in my eyes.

Oh, and they should bring back Futurama. I miss Bender and the crew.

Planescape: Torment is amazing

I recommend Crysis and Crysis Warhead. They are like a hybrid of Half-Life 2 and Call of Duty. Extremely fun, and only $ 5 each. The expansion pack Crysis Warhead was my favorite of the two. And the graphics were so good for their time that, to my eye, they still look quite nice at times while I'm playing.

Dishonored was also extremely enjoyable.

Crysis and Crysis Warhead, last I checked, were still on sale even though the sale has ended. Not sure about Dishonored though.

Agreed. This one is very good
