Just did a GOG survey that focused on the idea of a paid membership option on GOG. Seems they’re determining what people would be willing to pay extra for. Some of the options were
a tool for backing up offline installers
ability to install previous versions of a game
extra insight into the preservation work they’re doing.
voting rights on games to bring into the preservation program.
I told them I’d like a GOG style humble choice. If they’re not willing to give actual games, I’d be interested in a subscription to help game preservation, but probably only $5 a month max.
A humble choice like subscription service would be pretty great honestly. $10ish a month for maybe 1 AA/AAA modern game and a handful of retro and indie games would have me on board immediately. Starting to charge for things they currently or have previously offered for free is not the way to win people over.
