This makes me sad. I wanna believe in gog. The last bastion of hope for gaming.
In what way? I know it’s great but I don’t know if I’d call it the last hope for all of gaming. It’s a good store front. Their application has better FOSS alternatives and there are other pretty okay ways to buy games too. I don’t follow them closely. Are they doing anything particular that warrants that description?

I thought itch did that too
“GOG regularly adapts its structure to its strategy and ongoing projects, sometimes this means eliminating certain roles — as was the case recently.”
Yeah, but firing 30% of your entire contract workforce reveals that you don’t give a flying fuck about sustaining the lifespan of the storefront and prefer to pad the executives golden parachutes from the stock valuation.
The former employee knew what they were doing with their choice of words.
Shit I really like GOG as it’s the only competition to steam
There’s also itch.io, which is great. It does have a lack of game selection, but we’re comparing it to GOG, so…

Gabe Newell has promised that if Steam goes down you won’t lose your library, but we only have his word as assurance.

It’s one of my biggest fears, but I guess there’s always piracy especially for old games.
I hope they stick around they are great for gaming. I need to buy off there more often.
