I've previously kicked up a stink over how PC gamer direct links to Steam. Often, in order to avoid to avoid such accusations of bias, they link to the official site. This is good, it means I have to chase pubs and puts an onus on them to actually link to GoG when they sell here.

However linking to a wiki for Bladerunner makes sense, FF7 not so much.

If the reason the "link:" is there to inform, most should go to wiki, but on the whole it looks like its there to help people buy. If that is the case where possible they should go to the games web presence, otherwise link to the main stores that sell that game. If "link:" is there to help buy, not linking Syndicate Wars to GoG feels a purposeful action.

Wasn't Gog offered a PC Gamer selection bundle during a previous sale ?

Their support is irratic, it feels like its an effort for them not to fall back into Steam is PC gaming mindset

Honest question: has it ever been truly alive?

Before Internet, yes. I remember reading lots of magazines about PCs and consoles back in the day

Larry Bundy Jr covers them quite a bit in his videos, of how they were paid off or heavily encouraged to give higher results to certain games. Including the whole Driv3r Gate where 2 outlets were given exclusive access to the game to do a review, in exchange for getting a 9/10 even though the game was buggy as hell...

A deaf or hard of hearing ferryman has a wife, two sons and a daughter. They fritter away all their money, and leave him to pay the bill when their credit runs out.

He sees the bailiff coming in the distance and decides to be clever and prepare his answers ahead of time. He reasons that the first thing the man will ask will be about what he is carving. He will say that it is an axe handle. He thinks that the other questions will be about the length of the axe handle, his ferry, his mare and the way to the cowshed.

However, the first thing the bailiff says is "Good day, fellow!" He replies "Axe handle!", thinking himself clever.

Next the bailiff asks how far it is to the inn. "Up to this knot!" he replies, pointing to the axe handle.

The bailiff shakes his head and stares at him.

"Where is your wife, man?" he says.

"I'm going to tar her," says the ferryman. "She's lying on the beach, cracked at both ends."

"Where is your daughter?"

"Oh, she's in the stable, big with foal," he says, still thinking himself clever.

The bailiff finally gets angry with him and shouts, "Go to the devil, fool that you are!"

"Oh, it's not far away, when you're over the hill, you're almost there," says the man.

I was too young! :P
Well actually no. I didn't own a PC, in Italy before the 2000s they were WAY too expensive. I had been able to play a few classics like Doom, Raptor and Wolfenstein 3D only because my uncle worked in the field and the enterprise granted him a computer.
