KiNgBrAdLeY7: People who think, analyze and are of age, rarely follow the press (in whatever form).

RWarehall: Read the financial statements. They explain exactly what was going on through the year.
To call actual numbers "nonsensical" is what I call nonsensical...

You really know absolutely nothing about investors nor investment which is clear from all the GoG-bashing posts you keep making.

Investors clearly care about the past, because it is a good indication of whether a company is in a good position to rebound. They also care that the majority of GoG's profits every year usually comes from the 4th quarter which we haven't seen the results for.

Yet here you are asserting how horrible 2019 is for GoG based on an article that said GoG did very well in January. Or did you even bother to read the article? And as I've mentioned above, anyone claiming to know how well GoG is doing in February while we are still in February is not someone to be believed.

GoG sold more non-CDPR games for dollars in 2018 than any quarters before. This is a very positive sign. They got bit because the majority of those games were sold in U.S. dollars as the value of the PLN went up in comparison to it. Meaning those increased sales weren't as profitable because of exchange rates. They got hit by a currency fluctuation. On top of that, they invested in upgrading their network infrastructure. Neither is a bad trend.

What you don't get, because you clearly don't want to get it, is that GoG as actually selling more games than ever before once you take CDPR's games out of the equation. Their sales revenues are growing in that department. They are selling games. Their sales are working. But you would know that if you had bothered to read the financial reports...

Kelefane: The gaming industry is becoming more and more cutthroat as the weeks and months go by. You have Epic trying to come out like gangbusters being the new bully on the block telling Steam they aren't the only big boy in town anymore. Steam will fire back at some point im sure with their own ammo. This usually causes the stores under them to suffer indirectly. But its time to adapt.

Maybe its time GOG did its own new exclusives. Cyperpunk for example should only be sold here on GOG.

And you have certain shills who write for these gaming websites who loves to spread false rumors and lie about certain platforms. Or at the very least, stretch the truth to the point of hyperbole with fearmongering and smearing.

In the end, I wouldn't trust the word of these clickbait gaming websites and their biased shill writers. For all we know, Epic or someone else could be paying these writers to make false reports. I'd always wait until GOG themselves make an official statement.

BleepBl00p: Can anyone explain how is Epic a serious competitor to Steam? I get it that they attract devs by taking a smaller cut but the customers? Why would anyone ditch Steam for Epic? A few exclusives but what else?

I've seen no price difference between the 2, EG seems to be nothing but a poor man's Steam.

MajicMan: Get Woke. Go Broke.

GoG pansies pissing their panties over a couple of joke tweets and apologizing to game urinalist and dumping on their own community and customers was a brilliant idea.

The way GoG treated Linko was such brilliant and amazing progressive management.

Also, GoG curation is total joke. GoG declines every single sports game and they decline highly-rated, successful games that are completely patched and running smoothly. At the same time, they push kickstarter garbage by unknown and unproven developers.

Having no set standards or guidelines and allowing a handful of morons to arbitrarily approve and decline game submissions is really working out well.

Galaxy. Removing all the stand alone game installer editions of games and forcing Galaxy mandatory was genius. Also, only making mention of the change in the forums was another explosion of brilliance. Making Galaxy the default installation on a site that is supposed to be about DRM-Free games was also a stroke of genius.

The people GoG should be laying off is the entire management team(s) and the entire curation team.

goral: QFT, Nicely put, I completely agree.

KOCollins: I'm wondering am I missing something? My offline installers are still there for my games. As far as I can tell I don't need galaxy. What did I miss?

goral: Mine are too but there are games that don't work without it (like Gwent and some games with DRM). Anyway, I quoted the entire thing because it was faster, the rest is entirely true though.

Breja: Meanwhile, GOG and CDPR aren't the only ones in trouble.

I think by now there's a clear pattern emerging.

goral: Mine are too but there are games that don't work without it (like Gwent and some games with DRM). Plus the access to it is worse than it was before (it's obscured and more clicks are necessary), the installers are in parts, etc. etc, Anyway, I quoted the entire thing because it was faster, the rest is entirely true though.
