According to user Pirat_Nation on Twitter, "GOG wants to bring physical PC games back."

#gog #physicalmedia

Pirat_Nation's report continues:

The idea is to let players buy boxed versions of games directly from their GOG library and have them delivered to their homes.

“We need to think about logistics. We need to think about storage,”

The company would also need approval from publishers to produce and sell physical copies.

GOG has been discussing the idea for years, but there are still plenty of challenges to overcome.

“I really hope that at some point we will be able to do it,”

No source mentioned though.

I second others' comments that #GOG is down likely for the #PHP issues made public.

GOG giving away the 2016 concert of the OST of The Witcher 3

https://www.gog.com/game/video_game_show_the_witcher_3_wild_hunt_concert_2016

#DRMfree video #giveaway is rare so yay! Also afaik it's the second time #GOG gives it away, but last time, the Movies section of the catalogue still existed, so many users may have missed it (wonder if they got many messages from gamers asking for it too).

At some point in the past I’ve linked my Steam library to GoG Galaxy client, and now I can’t get the Steam games out of it.

All the Steam games show up as “other” and so relinking and unlinking the Steam don’t help. I’ve also uninstalled the Galaxy with Revo uninstalled, removing all associated files, but the other games just repopulate my library.

The GoG rep told me I have to manually remove those games one by one. There are literally hundreds and each takes multiple clicks to remove. Also, I haven’t got a response whether it’s safe to remove duplicates (games I have both from GoG and Steam) this way or is there a risk that I remove a GoG game from my library.

Any advice?

Regarding the No More Heroes release

There is no upgrade expansion for #NoMoreHeroes 3 on #GOG, so if getting the whole trilogy, I would suggest following this to not have a surprise expense later on:

I second the comment about hoping that it isn't not a Faustian deal in the thread I found about it. Also Iirc, besides Xbox, Discord and Google were already options for a while, and Facebook is no longer there as a login option it seems.

This can't like just be a coincidence right? I feel like all of those symbols in the same tagline suggests something more than just coincidence.

The short version, received through newsletter: https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/421/180/564/325/119/original/2a0f2bd89941c38c.png Previously, it seemed as relevant as Discord Nitro, so imo it's good they give something more tangible and preservable/not as easy to nuke with a few clicks. Plus not as dependent of Discord. =D Also, in the full update, they mention "growing and nurturing the community", and though they say "with a particular emphasis on GOG Patrons", considering how stale the forum can be, I wonder if they'd be considering some form of fediverse integration too.

Hi everyone!

Due to my Playstation 4 version of Wolfenstein the New Order being now only in german after an update, I sold the game and bought it again to replay it on my Steam Deck through Heroic.

I'm enjoying the game as everything works perfectly except that I'm getting no achievements even if my playtime is synchronized to GOG.

Apparently, even on Windows people are having this problem: https://www.gog.com/forum/wolfenstein_series/new_order_achievements_broken/?search=achievements

So in hope of an Idea, I'm turning to Lemmy even if I don't have much hope. Apparently downgrading the version of the game could help, but I can't get a confirmation if it would mean starting from scratch again or not.

I'm running the 1.0.0.2 hotfix version of the game.

Edit: downgrading to 1.0.0.2 through Heroic worked

If I had to take a guess, they first released some smaller FFs (in comparison) to avoid turning their data center into an atompunk setting. e.e"

So I have a GOG acc been a few years and unsubscribing was the first thing I did and they never bothered me, and out of nowhere the other day I received some newsletter about promotions and shit (not even stuff on my Wishlist) and I figured it's some reset with new ownership or whatever, I received an email about new policies a few days prior talking about how they are not connected to CDPR anymore and so... anyway, I unsubscribed, and made sure every notification was turned off, and just now I received another newsletter email...
