Buy from their store, tell people about it and why it's good, and educate any misinformed pirates or naysayers that don't know what they are talking about. Also might be helpful to report pirate sites to the site hosts etc.

didnt all gog pirate sites just die?
>GOG is dying
This just proves that no one gives a shit about DRM-free games. >W-WELL I BUY IT FROM THERE!!
Waow! A few people here! I was totally disproved.
It would help if GOG would put some effort into accepting games though.
There's a couple of games that I really wanted a GOG copy, the developers said they contacted GOG about it but either they get a reply saying "it's not a good fit for GOG" or just ignored completely.
Sadly, bigger AAA games tend not to release DRM versions since the publishers are too worried about piracy, hence why Denuvo is such a pain in the arse at the moment.
Not a porn game.
One of the games was 'Filcher' - a thief-like game with a 1930's art-deco art-style. >https://steamcommunity.com/app/1355650/discussions/0/2963922521558517721/#c3279192886605815977
The game is a bit basic, but I find it crazy how it didn't get accepted, yet actual shovelware & WEGs do.
Well they seem to really enjoy collaberating with Amazon, first with free game offers on prime and now with the new Luna partnership. So maybe Amazon would be willing to invest in GOG more in the future?
I love the idea, but the reality doesn't tend to match up.
For modern games, the GOG version is generally missing features compared to the Steam version and gets patches later, if ever. You also obviously miss out on Steam platform features (steam input etc) but this isn't reflected in the price. You pay the same or more, and get less.

The GOG version of Spleunky costs slightly more than the Steam one, and yet: >Content notice: The Daily Challenge is not included in the DRM Free version. >PCGW: The Steam version received a v1.47 update that added languages, a fullscreen borderless mode, and bugfixes. The GOG version has not received this patch. >with Steam Input I can play with a bluetooth ps4 pad, not possible with the gog build except maybe with third party tools
So if it's no good for modern games, at least it must be a better choice for old ones, right? That was its original name, after all. Good old games, fixed up to run optimally on modern systems.
Well, yes and no. The GOG versions are usually decent, but they're virtually never the very best way to play. Think of any old PC game on GOG and check PCGW. You'll almost certainly find a long list of suggested community fixes which apply to both Steam and GOG. So you have some work to do either way.
Just fricking buy the old games you want to play instead of pirating them, they're usually really cheap even poorgays should be able to spare a couple of bucks to play Arx Fatalis or whatever
I am not responsible for the sucsess or failure of a given store. I always buy the games I want if they have them on GOG (every other competitor is secondary to me) and I recommend other people do so if it comes up naturally in conversation.
I am not paid to advertise for them nor to spread good word on their behalf. As long as their product satisfies me I will keep coming back and will talk positively about them when it is natural to do so.
If I could recommend one move it would be to focus more on acquiring more games. The biggest problem GOG has, in my eyes, is that I often have to fall back to their competitors because they simply don't have what I want. If they can remedy that I think it would boost their sales and their customers confidence.
The biggest problem with gog is the devs. They update their steam builds and never bother with gog. I don't know how to resolve this. Maybe a financial incentive like gog taking a slightly smaller cut if they sign a contract that they will update their gog version on the same day they update their steam version.
My Facebook has an old email account I’m locked out of attached to it. For some reason they took away the login with facebook feature and now my account is fricking locked off. Frick gog for this bullshit.

Based also pirate Steam game but buy the gog version if it comes out.

didnt all gog pirate sites just die?
I dunno, does 'going private' = dying?
I dunno, is one website 'going private' = the death of all gog pirate sites (plural)?
let 'em die
Buy games from it, duh.
>T. Anon who bought Baldurs Gate 3 recently on GOG.
Same

QRD? What's going on with GoG?
nothing
this thread is spammed daily to bait people like you
doesn't make all that much money
it went private
More importantly, what's the alternative to gog-games.to?
kys I assume its a good alternative here
imagine simping for an e-shop
put actual games people want to play on the marketplace

Merge with Valve to become the drm free and retro focused division.

You can add it as a non-steam game and use steam input just fine.
you've got it wrong, GOG saved us it's taking time for everyone else to realize it
