Dumb fuckers should've thought about that before they let the monster into their house.

Indiana, the Mississippi of the midwest. :p

Of all possible riddance, this is most certainly one of the good ones.

Ohio is the Florida of the Midwest.

The tyrannical act that followed after:

"Fine, we've set aside a place for you people to live. It's land we stole from people who hate you even more than we do where you'll be utterly surrounded. Hopefully you and they shall destroy each other since we hate you both."

Here's how I think a GoG subscription might work out:

The money goes into a balance on your account. It just accumulates store credit.

You might raise the question of "why would they want to do that", to which I say:
it's guaranteed income for them and they make a profit by selling games ANYWAY.
The fact that they get this income consistently is good for their books.

You might also raise the question of "why would anyone want to participate in that", to which I put to you this:
I want to give myself a "gaming allowance" of a little bit each month but saving is hard. If I am paying GoG a monthly subscription, though, and I accumulate a balance of credit, I can get games without it impacting my budget outside of what I've exactly allotted.

What else do I get? The warm fuzzy feeling of supporting GoG. Which I'd definitely do anyway. Honestly, letting me turn my subscription into store credit is a huge boon. I don't NEED any perks beyond that.


Oh here's something GoG could maybe do, actually:
an extremely UNOBTRUSIVE cloud storage drive that they say is for Save Syncing (and automates this if you're running the galaxy app) but that they'll let you store any arbitrary files in it as long as what's in it fits within the space they've designated for me... and furthermore if this space got bigger the more store credit I have built up, that'd be the tits too.

OH OH OH I thought of two other perks!

  • What if the cloud storage suggestion also automatically "stored" "copies" (in your "personal" cloud storage box) offline installers for games you've purchased so that you can still download them EVEN IF they get "delisted" for sale?

  • What if your subscription gave you sliiiightly more than the cash value in store credit? Like only 10% bonus.
    If I am paying $5.00 per month, they put $5.50 store credit in my balance each month.

Even more alarming to me is that he helped Weird Al create the "Even Worse" album and played the guitar solo in "Eat It"!

I've been saying this a lot lately because it seems like arc words for the zeitgeist we're living through but good gods above and below it just keeps being relevant:

Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

When shit's this stupid, it doesn't matter whether they meant it or not...
