      Isn’t this a good thing? Similar to Valve, now the owner of GOG should be independent and not try to please share holders. He is the original founder, so its not like some random ex EA CEO or someone rich from Arabia or like that. Unless there is evidence, I give him the benefit of doubt and hope for the best.

      And hopefully he will support Linux… but that is a bit of random thought.

        Because the part where he bought shares from employees was omitted. Make no mistake, he will slaughter GOG the moment his eyes turn into dollars

          And how do you come to this conclusion with a certainty, that you can say that in a forum? I don’t think he will, there is no evidence for that. Or does he have a bad track record?

    I’ll begin purchasing from them again once I can purchase Nine Sols from them.
