An app that forces itself on you with AMD gfx drivers (bundled, not mandatory, it's connected to separate service). Primary aim seems to be to capture video from games and post them online... I never knew it has game-shopping component. Maybe because I never bothered to make an account with them. But if anything, it would be Steam reseller.
I tried to make it take screenshots of directx fullscreen for Shadwen demo. It can capture video, so capturing one frame and saving it as png should be easy, right? No such luck. Hotkeys only worked for a short time after starting the game, it couldn't connect to already running game, overlay with control panel didn't show at all... After few hours I just disabled it again and tried to forget it exists.

GOG sucks, but I keep coming back. Probably the alternatives suck more :(

And the voting feature is more or less a placebo. gog just can't say "oh that game has 1000 votes, better get the rights to it" and they won't. I mean No One Lives Forever has a ton of votes but that game will probably never appear on gog. So how good and useful is the voting feature really?

- Forums for every game (not "we lump all games into one forum so it becomes a mess)
- Community Guides
- Workshop
- Profile, Chat, User Groups, Curation
- Greenlight
What exactly has gog to offer for the Community? A voting feature that is largely ignored and a forum. Valve basically adds everything that gets thrown in their way and why shouldn't they? Steam is basically like your old school game store that sold all kinds of games, regardless of quality or whatever.

What games are you wishing for?
Fun fact: Requiem: Avenging Angel and Firewatch both had over 1,000 votes.
EDIT: The pessimists are right - GOG is literally Shitler. Shut it down everyone! We don't want GOG anymore, just Steam because it already has all the games and isn't Shitler! Give up GOG, go cry yourselves to sleep for what you have done! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
EDIT2: Or perhaps both places have their pros and cons, and GOG isn't Shitler. ┬──┬◡ノ(° -°ノ)
