JudasIscariot: I asked TET about that and he informed me that it usually takes around 5 years before any rebranding actually sticks :D

HypersomniacLive: Only four more years to go then :-)
No no, it will always be Good Old Games to me. And I will never correct someone that calls it Good Old Games! M'ha ha ha ha ha... >:-D

Crosmando: I never understood why GOG needed to name change.

Here in Australia we have a political party called the Liberal Party, but they have nothing to do with liberalism, and no one questions it :)
That's because no one cares about politics. But games are serious business, so don't ever take it lightly...

Nilok7: "At this point, CD Projekt’s influence and respect had grown by leaps and bounds, to the point where the Polish Prime Minister gave president Obama a copy of The Witcher 2 as a gift on his visit to Poland." Too funny.
Wait, is that actually a thing that happened?

Well, in four years time a number of the newer titles will fit nicely into the realm of Good Old Games, so i guess you're somwhat right - a part of GOG will always be Good Old Games.

The use of DRM signals a lack of trust between producers of games and their target consumers
Very well said, Mr Rambourg - they’re happy to take our money, yet still think of us as more than potential pirates that need to be kept on a short leash; it sucks being mistreated like that and I choose not to volunteer.

Nice find, Roman5.

EDIT: added missing infinitive and spelling.

So I guess it took from 2008 to now to being widely known as "Good old Games" rather than ""?

Nice but I'll be more impressed when GOG gets a mention in Penthouse.

I'm pretty sure Triss Merigold was featured in a similar magazine. Playboy, wasn't it? That close enough?

“DRM solves piracy like a bag of concrete solves hunger.”
Cement, Guillaume, it's cement that goes in bags, not concrete ;)

Well, it actually tastes like something, so I definitely prefer it over most vodka. :P
But yeah, it is pretty tasty. Especially with apple juice. Frisky Bison, I think it's called.

... Is there actually a thread for us alcoholics? If not, I think I'll create one.
