Vagabond: I admit I get more pleasure from buying GOGs than playing them.
Delixe: It's looking at that packed shelf isn't it? Damn, GOG knew what they were doing when they designed that.

I'd love to know where it came from. Kindle has a shelf like it. But the attention paid to detail here guarantees re-buys. Some to only load up once or twice to see them on shelf, and to enjoy the extras. Am though at times, more fascinated with the model of this business than the actual product of the sales: Whose memories will they satisfy next?
They draw a different niche here with what they bring to the table- differently than other retro services on xbla,psn,steam,virtual console, etc....Regarding our past with games as ephemera to revisit and collect in our digital age.
edit...now checking xbla/psn/virtual console collections it is depressing again not owning anything : (
Gog still feels less dirty about exploiting my memories, theres many things bought on the console like Wolfenstein that I can't wait to buy again here. Never recall its on my Xbox, and played it for a week straight on the console when it was released. Something about it demands the purchase on PC. Can't wait until one purchase is all you need (maybe never) and I can play ZORK on a Droid for buying it from GOG.
