Syphon72: I read an article about GOG that was published recently. It states that the head, who was put in charge of GOG in 2016 is responsible for many of the poor decisions made during that time. This was from sources they talked too about it. The article suggests that this manager was inexperienced and lacked the necessary skills to effectively lead the company. But at sametime said he was passionate about his work.
But maybe he realized what he was doing did not work. And going back to that made GOG. . Sorry little off topic
Unless we have all the facts, which we never will, we cannot make a reasonable assessment of what happened and why, and GOG would of course be affected by many other factors ... like Epic giving away so many free games, for instance, and continuing to do so, many of which exist at GOG.
I'm not sure that GOG is actually in a winnable situation, not with how things are changing and what has already occurred. The situation was very different when GOG started. Just the fact that Steam has become an accepted inst###### by many gamers now, has had a huge impact.
I'd like to see GOG continue to grow, but how long can that be achieved realistically, with all the factors now in play.
GOG have lasted 16 to 17 years so far, which is quite remarkable all things considered. But what has enabled them to do so?
EDIT I am having to post in this post in piecemeal fashion, to determine what GOG automation is not allowing me to say. See the hashed section for what I eventually determined. It is not allowing me to use that word, probably in association with the word Steam, or in the same post as.
