I am fully capable of understanding what a paradox is thank you very much.

You also use a straw man fallacy to represent what I said about some gamers in the GOG community and their willingness to pay a few euros more, to be applicable to ALL GOG gamers. I never said that.

Maybe I should clarify my points, so that they are more easily understood?

Hypothesis (notice how I use the word hypothesis, not stated facts, but likelihoods)):

1. GOG is struggling and needs more revenue/profits.
- this is highly plausible and probably accurate.

2. GOG has a static cut from sales, and its costs fluctuate only a little.
- The first one is probably the standard 30%, and whilst server costs increase with demand, employee costs are more significant for GOG's expenses likely and they don't seem to be changing much.

3. Due to infinite supply of digital goods, price is the dominant determinant for demand, and is not influenced by any supply issues.

4. Therefore, all else being fairly equal based on the previous points, profit-maximising happens mostly with the best price determination to get the most sales.

5. If price determination is off in other words, profits are being lost due to customers paying a lot less than what they would have without seeing these ridiculously low prices, and that few customers would be lost with a slightly higher sales price, then it stands to reason that prices should be corrected.

My point: Even though we know sales prices and times are dictated by the publisher (very likely), it is my wish, my hope that GOG would receive more profits by the publisher(GOG?) not setting too low a sales price. This way we keep GOG operating, healthy to acquire more games, and let us download new updates and get new games from their servers.

The hypothesis has many shortcomings - critically if by raising the sales price from 3 euros to 9 euros causes more than 3 times the customers to decide not to buy at all, the price is again off and GOG suffers in profits. But I, and some others probably, do not think this is the case on GOG. There would be plenty of people willing to pay 9 euros, had they not been given the opportunity to buy at 3 euros.

So you see, what I or other some few individuals do during the sale, has no bearing to my *wish* that the original sales price would have been higher on GOG. As a singular consumer, I'm a drop in the ocean. By setting the sales price higher however, you affect each sale. Money is limited these days for most people, so if the game is being sold at 3 euros, then I will buy it at 3 euros. If the game was 9 euros with no probability of it ever getting as low as 3 euros, then I would have to be content with 9 euros and just pull the trigger, possibly tripling GOG's revenue at its best.

That is all ;)

doom 3 is way better.

April fool's was 19 days ago.

:P

The music has way too much dubstep in it. When I rip and tear, I want to hear heavy metal, not electronic garbage.
I bolded the best joke I have ever read because I don't know how to edit quotes properly.

wat did he mean by this

I wasnt a big fan of doom 3 but its still a better game. none of them are doom games to be fair.

This announcement is DOOMED to be well received! :P Insta-bought!

Even though I feel like I may have outgrown playing this type of game (my tastes change over time), I want to fully encourage GOG to continue releasing titles that the community loves. :D And, at such a great price, such releases have the great potential to make wonderful gifts... ;)

Finally some good old harmless blood, gore and violence and not this doom bringing love making and sex smut which will destroy the world one day ;)
(Sorry, I could not resist)

But honestly I have a question. When I quit the game it takes several seconds with lots of writing on the HDD until the game finally closes. WTF is the game doing? I start it and I quit immediately ... there should not be anything the game has to write at this moment and it takes longer to quit the game than any other game I own. It might be that this won't be that extreme if you play it from a SSD but I really wonder if this is the normal behavior. Other than that the game runs pefectly fine for me. Never played it before but I have to admit that it is fun.

DOOM 2016 on Gog, YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Waiting for Doom Eternal.

It's nice to have DOOM (2016) on GOG. Fluid movement and satisfying weapon variety continue to stand out as highlights. The single-player content alone offers hours of solid gameplay. It's a welcome release

The "modern Doom is not really Doom" has to be one most grognard and silly takes to ever exist, I don't know what you'd say about other series that went completely off rails lol

They're really more Quake games. Though considering I like Quake a little more than OG Doom, I'm not complaining.

The hell does that even mean? Quake is just about the most scattershot, every-game-is-something-completely-different series ever :D

No, we're just assuming and trying to use logic. because the game is so old most everyone who wanted it by now very likely already own it on Steam , but it appears, to me at least, a significant number people will still rebuy it on GOG because it's so cheap and DRM-free.

In the Steam version I need to be connected to online to play by myself against bots in the multiplayer maps.
Is this still the case in the GOG version? Can I play matches against bots in the multiplayer maps offline?
