Fun fact: due to our Polish origins, GOG.com has been fortunate enough to secure the services of one of the last tribes of server gnomes, which really helps keep costs down. The downside, of course, is the occasional terrible war between the gnomes and the kobolds who haunt the darker corners of the Internet, but we've found it to be a worthwhile trade-off.

Even if we do lose a few gnomes a month to kobold ambushes. :(

Server gnomes traditionally required payment in riddles--as any gnome would scoff at material possessions as worthless--which had really been causing us some difficulties as I was running out of riddle books to stump them with. Fortunately, we've managed to convince them that cryptocurrency is actually just a really complicated mathematical riddle. I believe we pay them in Dogecoin now.

Apparently it amuses them that they're honoring their ancestral roots by "mining" for currency again. They're an odd bunch.

So if you want to support GOG.com, you can do the usual thing and buy games, of course. Or spread the word and tell people about our distilled awesomeness--which, actually, is refined with gnomish technology--or you can keep an eye out and make life a little better for our server gnomes: if you spot a kobold, tell someone. Our server gnomes are getting pretty talented at counter-ambushes. >.>

Not really. Although it's nice that the DRM-Free Time Machine promo ended, yeah.
I'll take that as a compliment. ;)

But actually, is there a reason why it can't be both? We've seriously had talks where we've decided that there were things that we could do which would be good business practices but which we didn't think, as gamers, we would appreciate it. So we didn't do them. This company is in tune with what gamers want because we are, ourselves, gamers. And we try to make decisions that if we were just fans of the website, we would like.

You can call that marketing or good business practices, but I would call it "trying to not be dicks."

We're not the first to lay claim to that territory. ;)

Dammit, kobolds! DISAPPOINTED!
