Another one bites the dust

This is an interesting, eventful weekend to start a "blog" like this. Today, the news is Good Old Games or gog.com has closed its doors. The only important news out of all of this is what they will due to prevent backlash, and this is their response.

"On a technical note, this week we'll put in place a solution to allow everyone to re-download their games."
So right now, you cannot even download your games if you bought them earlier, if you try to visit the website you will be greeted with another no-background, text-only website this weekend. 




Bottom Line: Only a fool would have been paying people to distribute them shovelware that is technically freeware now, and its painfully obvious this would never work in any sensible way. Good riddance!


Update: apparently someone on neogaf claims this is a sort of publicity stunt, to go from beta to full version of their website and he references to earlier posts in the financial forums of the company to ignore this event in regards to investing. It sounds like it would be true, or it sounds like someone is trying to prevent investors from pulling out as fast as they can, either way, it will be interesting to see what happens.
