Nice to see a platform like GOG becoming so proactive these last 12 or so months (or, more so than they were previously)

With so many new initiatives (or in the case of the Dreamlist!) - re-imagined ones!

Dino Crisis and the sequel weren't my kind of games, even being made specifically for modern hardware. I'm too young to have the nostalgia or patience for the so called 'tank controls' of the old days. But I still bought them to support the initiative. I'm just one of those poor fools waiting and hoping for a modern sleek remake, like the Resident Evil games were blessed with!

STILL, so nice to see this billboard in a prominent space! Nice work, GOG.

I'm the exception to gaming, I have maybe 20-ish games on Steam, but '000's on GOG. I've always had a thing for the underdog, maybe that's what made me focus on them from the start. I just love their platform, and their ethos. They'll never be a competitor to Steam or Epic Games, but I don't think they're trying to be any more.

I just love them!
