Wolf904: Should I stop buying games on GOG and go back to Steam?
GOG alone made a profit of 20 million PLN last year. It was the best year in history of the platform. You have no need to worry. :)

Ancient-Red-Dragon: As for GOG, that's an entirely different matter. GOG seems perpetually to be right on the verge of bankruptcy and could indeed go bankrupt at any time.
GOG didn't have a single year in history with a net loss in the financial results. That's more than enough to extinguish any bankruptcy discussion...

Men in hazmat suits approach holding a weird detector-shaped device. One of them says:

"Yuri, be careful going below, I believe we have found it. This is the source of the nihilism meltdown. We must contain it."

StingingVelvet: The point of DRM free is that GOG's continued existence is less of a concern.
One of the other men comments: "I think you did it, Yuri, you mad lad. You've brought us all back to the land of bland realities. Overstatement averted. Let's go have a drink now."
Let's see what experts have to say.

Ancient-Red-Dragon: CDPR isn't going bankrupt. They sold many millions of copies of Cyberpunk despite it being total trash.

And even if it did flop - which it didn't, unfortunately - then CDPR could handle it flopping anyway, since it's Witcher 3 game is an endless cash cow.

As for GOG, that's an entirely different matter. GOG seems perpetually to be right on the verge of bankruptcy and could indeed go bankrupt at any time.
Well, I did not know the bad situation of gog.com. Maybe that's why there haven't been any summer offers yet.

A pity that gog is on the verge of bankruptcy.

teceem: I understand what you mean...
...on the other hand, I have around 700 games on GOG - more than I can play in my lifetime - so I don't see the need to buy DRM'ed games.
Your YOLO seems very connected to playing the latest AAA titles.
Yes, I do play lots of AAA's.

But I've also played other titles this year - Ghostrunner (still working on that); Get Even; Neo Cab; and Disco Elysium. None of those scream AAA to me.

It isn't. Their last red quarter was back in Q3 2019. Their revenue has seen slow and consistent growth in the past 3 years (p.43). You can view all their previous financial data here:

Isn't this like the sixth thread about some "CDP is going bankrupt!" rumour?

If anything, GOG and CDP saw an increase in revenue in the last quarter.
