I thought of this while reading the 'I Love GOG' thread... What brought you to the GOG site?

I was searching through Wikipedia about the Tex Murphy series and saw GOG listed as a distributor, have been here ever since.
I think it was an article in PC Gamer.
They talked about it on the PC Gamer Podcast. Immediately signed up.
Blood.
the longest journey
Blood - which, strangely enough, I have not yet bought! lol
I heard about GoG from an abandonware site I frequent for a long time, but did not join GoG until last year when I won a game from an RPG Codex contest.
Raging kids on MMO forums.

They cited few great RPGs that can be found on this website and pronto, I'm here! :)
Arcanum.

I was planning on just pirating it because I was curious about the game (at the time, I pirated everything), but then I saw in the wikipedia article that some place called Good Old Games had it for sale legitimately. And it's not as if the price was bad either. When I first arrived, though, the site seemed kind of...Shady (Well, to be fair, every new online store I come across I immediately treat with mistrust). I had never heard anything about it before. I couldn't find any information or popular opinion on it. It was claiming to be in beta, thus making me doubt how safe a purchase here would be. But I threw caution to the wind and gave it a shot. Haven't been disappointed yet.

From a friend when it was first announced, before they entered into beta. Once I saw they were selling old games without DRM, they hooked me.
I came to GOG because of their relaunch, when they abruptly shut down the site and made several people believe they were gone. I thought it was hilarious, so I had to check it out, and have been here ever since.

Exact same story for me... I too miss the days when the internet was fun and full of jokes and pranks, so I liked the site just on reading the stories about it!
I only found out from Witcher 2, I want to buy the game and on this site you would get a 5$ better price and alot of ekstra stuff. Then I found out what this site was :-)
The Witcher. I've been a fan of the game and the website since 2007, and GOG is a sister site.

Joystiq had a post about GOG a while ago and... here I am! I trust the 'stiq!
