Good idea Einstein.

There's nothing on the site that says it is official, and GOGs own website doesn't mention anything about this either. So where is an official statement from the GOG team about this?

If anyone else was wondering, theres a statement on GOGs official Twitter page:

Yes, I am obviously more intelligent than you, thanks!

Look dumbass, it goes to GOG's website. Ever tried looking at how the url resolves? If you don't understand that, you are hopeless.

Uh, but can you prove they aren't lying? I won't believe you unless you post video evidence of your redeeming all 13 porn games and playing them.

Well whatever it's an alias address, but It's still not the main address.
At leat I am careful instead of rushing to click on and post links containing anime porn.

If anyone else was wondering, theres a statement on GOGs official Twitter page:

Nevermind this isn't even a statement about it.

[WhiteShark]

Is that actually GOG? Do you have a link to their official statement? Just wanted to check.

Alright, I'm going to teach you a trick:

• Copy the first line of the statement: "Thanks to the dedication of developers and publishers, we are launching http://freedomtobuy.games."
• Enter it into Google
• Click the first link that appears.

I was going to give a lmgtfy link, but, when I tested it, it stopped on a blank page asking me to solve a "challenge" that never appeared...

That worked actually, thanks. Why didn't the GOG team put this on the homepage of their GOG website though? What's the point setting all that up if nobody is going to know about it?

Who even cares anyway? If Acrux was so intelligent maybe he would've realised this.

@DecadeRiptide - I feel like we got off on the wrong foot here. You had initially annoyed me because your question about GOG's statement also included mercerxiv's post, so I would have needed to edit all that extraneous stuff out if I then quoted you. (You also have some ruby tags in there, which make me think you tried to solve the quote thing but ran into problems. That minor thing is why you ended up getting a snarky response from me. But then instead of accepting a very small rebuke, you ended up escalating, then I did in turn, and then you got piled up on.

I get a really strong feeling that you are a zoomer - the (proud?) lack of tech knowledge, the general uncertainty in several of your posts (yes, sweatie, I looked through your post history and let me just say some things there are....problematic).

I want you to get the most out of your time on this racist gaming website. So, let me give you some advice:

1) If you really want to get into PC gaming (RPG or otherwise) a little bit of tech knowledge is really useful. Whether it's for troubleshooting, or modding, or just making configuration changes, knowing how and why something works will really help you out in the long run.

2) Listen to what other (older) people here tell you. Unhelpful Contrarian just decided to take a break because too many people were arguing with him. The problem, though, was that he had certifiably wrong positions and when challenged on them, he would just double down instead of listening. Don't fall into that same trap. Most of us don't troll people unless they annoy us that way.

So, anyway, no hard feelings.

It's bad to be wrong. It's worse to be wrong and not admit it.

Didn't even realize your post was embedded inside, I just responded to what I saw.

You also have some ruby tags in there, which make me think you tried to solve the quote thing but ran into problem

I saw the ruby tags after I posted, and I thought I found it somewhat amusing so I decided to leave them in there.[ruby][/ruby]

the general uncertainty in several of your posts (yes, sweatie, I looked through your post history and let me just say some things there are....problematic).

Ah yeah, the old "I looked through your post history" comment. How original. I'm glad you dislike me so much you'd begrudgingly spend your time combing through my history, desperately searching for any ammunition you might use to validate yourself. You must feel extremely pathetic right now.
Nothing in my post history looks "problematic", and I've barely done anything on this site mate apart from leave a few stupid comments.
And I have no "uncertainty" in any of my posts. Sure you weren't looking at your own profile?
And don't call me "sweatie" you patronizing fuckhead.

But then instead of accepting a very small rebuke, you ended up escalating, then I did in turn, and then you got piled up on.

Yeah I didn't really escalate, I just responded in the same way you responded to me calling me a "dumbass" and "hopeless". Can I not call you Einstein and ****** in return?
And what really ****** me off is instead of just laughing about it I was told to "Just shut the **** up ******" by Lich. So was I really the one escalating here?
I don't mind a bit of banta or taking the ****, which I thought this started out as, but I definately was not the one who escalated this. I just responded appropiately.

I get a really strong feeling that you are a zoomer - the (proud?) lack of tech knowledge,

And I get the strong feeling you're insecure, and are making things up in attempt to provide yourself an upper hand. I did not come across as "proud" anywhere.
And not knowing how domains work doesn't make someone tech illeterate. That's such a small thing within the scope of IT to base an assumption off of.

1) If you really want to get into PC gaming (RPG or otherwise) a little bit of tech knowledge is really useful. Whether it's for troubleshooting, or modding, or just making configuration changes, knowing how and why something works will really help you out in the long run.

PC gaming has nothing to do with domains, that would fall into networking, but ok. Been a PC user for a long time; I built my own PC, modded my own games, writ my own code, repaired my own devices. I don't need your condenscending tone or advice.
You even sure you know what you are talking about?

2) Listen to what other (older) people here tell you. Unhelpful Contrarian just decided to take a break because too many people were arguing with him. The problem, though, was that he had certifiably wrong positions and when challenged on them, he would just double down instead of listening. Don't fall into that same trap. Most of us don't troll people unless they annoy us that way.

I pretty much admitted I don't know how domains work. Why do you even care so much about this?

Listen to what other (older) people here tell you.

Oh yeah because you make that idea sound so appealing don't you.
Maybe turn your god complex down a notch? Being older doesn't necessarily mean you are right.

So, anyway, no hard feelings.

Yeah, keep coping.
All I asked was for a link to the official statement, but instead of providing it you decided to come across as a **** and you still are.
If you want to apologize then do it so sincerely instead of holding twists behind your words and wrapping it up as condenscending and infantalizing insults.
