As you can certainly tell from the forum recently, there is some worry about the lack of transparency in your game acceptance / rejection process. This worry has built into confusion about your methods and even anger regarding your perceived motives. All of this could be alleviated if you would simply do one thing:
1) release a breakdown regarding your reasonings for accepting / rejecting each game.
This would show your specific reasoning and build confidence in your system... and build greater validity to your curation. It would aid community building while keeping control of conspiracy theories and anger.
Transparency would benefit both you and the community. I hope you will see the benefits and institute making this information public.
I'd like to explain a bit about our curation process.
We have a dedicated team of gamers to play every game before making a decision to whether release a game on GOG.COM. On top of that, we do additional researches about the game, from the developers, user reviews and opinions. We do all this work to bring the best games possible.
Every rejection always comes with an explanation, but such information is for developers only. If they don't decide to share it publicly, I'm afraid that we're unable to disclose such details.
