(Video not by me)

PC Gamer and GamingOnLinux recently covered a few things about GOG’s usage of genAI for promotional content, but this video goes into deeper coverage about their Head of Product being responsible for their direction. (Cue scam AI Instagram girls). It also covers how the company chose to respond to the backlash regarding their usage of genAI.

It’s sad to see them being brazen about their AI usage. I advocated for them several times, owning games (anything, really) is something that should be for granted. All of this makes their store look really cheap and turns off people from thinking about the idea.

    Alright here is my response(am not defending Valve or calling them Saints here)

    Caving in to the anti-NSFW demands is “doing nothing”?

    IIRC Didnt Visa and Mastercard pressure them

    Paid mods?

    thats a thing?

    Not offering refunds for more than a decade?

    i heard a government pressured them to doing this,yeah that sucks though

    Being one of the first to popularize loot boxes and with it “marketplaces” of items that don’t exist, where you aren’t even guaranteed the horse armor you want to buy?

    Yeah that sucks to,but for me its fine for F2P Video games and if its not P2W
    Donationware would be cool too 👍

    literally destroying physical media, used games, and game ownership in one fell swoop so we have to rely on GOG to get the latter back in some form?

    Didnt everything move digital?
    but
    for the most part Steam/Valve did kinda destroy physical Medium,there are sometimes video games that are sold on DVDS/CDS(Video games,Music)
    i think for non-DRM Games you can Still own it on Steam???
    and used games well i think the digital switch killed it, but if the franchise still has physical Medium it is still possible.
