    Oh man. I’ve supported gog from the beginning, always purchased there.

    Even if it was more expensive or late or downsides (especially to steam).

    Still, they didn’t always hold up to the drm free standard they set.

    Then they come up with this, which to me sounds like ‘give us subscription money for what we already did the whole time’.

    The Patrons initiative is particularly interesting

    No it’s not! I care for the games. I want a drm free packaged version. You name the price, but keep all original features.

    I don’t give a flying shit about any online badges or whatever. How could I know where the additional money goes? By my estimate I’ll pay the subscription and your ceo gets more money but the games wont see any of it…

    Oh and spamming me with mails telling me how awesome it would be for me to be patron but completely without any real, tangible, non corpo speak reason to leaves a bad taste and kills a little confidence in you every time.
