That interview makes me very, very hopeful for GOG’s future.
We’ve seen, with Valve, how a private owner with vision for creating value for their customers can make waves. GOG is now in a similar situation and the owner clearly understands that directly competing with Valve (Epic style) is a fool’s errand. He had his own vision, distinct from what Valve is doing.
I feel a bit badly that I don’t think I’ve bought much on GOG. I mostly stopped buying individual games (and shifted to mostly buying game bundles) before GOG became a store with a good indie catalogue. I’ve been holding off on buying BG3 until I actually have time and motivation to play it “properly”, but I’ll definitely get it on GOG.
If you’re looking for good titles to acquire through GoG I’d recommend Cyberpunk 2077. Game goes on sale pretty regularly but is 100 percent worth it at full price. That is of course if you’re into FPS. I could gush about it but I’ll leave this short haha.
