There's news about GOG gonna give out free game, this time it's the original FALLOUT. Stay tune, for limited time only.

It's on, here.. get your copy now. You must be crazy if you let this offer slide.

But it pissed off loyal customer, because Fallout was among the first game that they bought 3 years ago. I guess you can't give too many free stuff as you might risk losing your loyal customer. This is valuable lesson to me or anybody who like to venture in business world.

I guess you're referring to the backlash back at the GOG.com's very own community forum eh? 1 of the examples would be this: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/a_lege..._this_thursday/

I think this is something unavoidable to be honest. Take for example Steam or any other distributors... or in fact, the hypermarket near us. Today you might be buying a can of sardine at RM6, only to see that there's a big discount of RM4 the next day, making each can RM2. That's RM4 that you could have saved if you were just a little patient but if that's how the world works, then no one is gonna buy anything on a normal non-festive / discount days.

Fair or unfair, it's the owner's decision to get the game at full price in the first place & they're not under any specific obligation to do so other than their love for the game. Just like how I bought Bastion at full price during pre-purchase & I still encourage others to buy it when there's a discount going on. A good game is meant to be shared & enjoyed, not owned & caged. sad.gif

Sorry for the long rant, even though I'm supposed to address those unhappy people in GOG.com's forum. tongue.gif

On another hand.. since the inception of GOG Community Gifting thread, there's an increasing number of freeloaders there. It's not secret some people just lurking around the forum to snatch free codes without any intention of participating in the discussions, not even left a "thank you", worst not even interested on the site, unregistered and have no interest on the games that's being offered there. It's different story for user made contest, because you actually have to participate.

I don't want to sound hypocritical but i can't really stand the same people keep begging for games, when they were gifted plenty of time before but few days later coming back when there's new release or promo. Or put a double meaning post hoping for somebody to gift them games. I think some people really abuse the generosity of GOG community, because unlike Steam forum, there's very minimum amount of trading activity. People just give their stuff for free if they have no plan on playing / use them. I've seen people give away copy of GTAIV, Episode from Liberty City, LA Noire, Witcher 2, Serious Sam BFE and plenty of AAA title. It's nice to see people sharing their stuff but it introduce more freeloader.
*
Yeah, I can see where you're going with those freeloaders. I've been lurking there for some time but I do stumble upon gifting topics with similar people begging games. As GOG.com become more & more established, it's prone to experience influx of not-so-old-gamers who doesn't put as high of a value to those games that we've grown up with. smile.gif

Anyway, nothing much we can do so just gotta continue play hard & play smart. smile.gif

GOG.com (and Gamers Gate) screwed by Amanita Designs, for Botanicula, summary:
http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/humble...la_debut/post42

confirmed by one of GOG marketing guy:
http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/release_botanicula/post8

So GOG.com took their own initiative:
taken from FB.

To think that, GOG put this game in one of their conference before the site re-launch a month ago, in conjunction with The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition. What an opportunist move by Amanita. They got the publicity they wanted.

This is why I love those guys at GOG.com; they're simply awesome. Back-stabbed by Amanita & yet, they see no problem with donating another $300 to The Humble Botanicula Debut.

And yup, that's definitely them:

I already have Machinarium, and it is kinda messy to have another same game with me, so nah, I shall wait it out.

EDIT :

Oh screw it, I have to be honest, I am just lazy.
