Haha same, almost shat myself there for a second.
Pins “fell for it again” award to my own chest
Your comment versus so many who saw gog’s recent weird ass nazi shit

Funny how the German side of GoG recognized the nazi symbols and stopped the SS lightning bolts from being sent on the German version of the emails.
Anyways don’t let the door hit you in the face on the way out

What lies? They had actual SS Sig runes in the title of that email.
Btw, glazing a company while posting from a instance run by an anarchist collective is… an interesting choice.

Do you realy think I would use tiktok, when I’m on lemmy? And yes saying anything positive about any company is dumb, they only care about the money you bring, that’s the whole point of them.
Yes I know those runes are older than fascism, everybody with half a brain knows that, though they would also know that using two of them next to eachother has only been done by Schutzstaffel. And it’s called a dogwhistle for a reason, apologist.

The sonnenrad and literal SS thunderbolts, lol

Suck my cock, fash
I’m trying to workout what you could have thought this was about.
Probably the actual GOG https://www.gog.com/en/
Yep 🤣
I got super confused for a second because I thought this was straight up GOG and thought it was because of that Nazi email that got sent out the other day lol
Ugh. I only ever learn about these sites after they go under.
It’s one of the sites linked in the megathread.
One of my favorite websites, damn 😔
Thanks for everything!
It was one of the greatest safests places to get games.
This is sad. gog-games is the most straightforward and elegantly simple site to get pirated games, all while being 100% safe
100%? How can one ever truly know?
Oh damn. I did not know this existed. Thank you.
I really hope there’s an alternative. This site was the best because it kept the games up-to-date
There’s one listed at the notice…
Torrents are not the same unfortunately
Torrent better i every way.
You need to look at the page, not just read the name…
This is what I got when I clicked the link they provided
I been paranoid about hacked games for a while but this seems sad. It likes like there is some sort of safety feature. I guess you can check the validity of the installer and then the hash of the game straight from gog? That feels as legit as the screen can get if so. Wouldn’t mind trying to archive this for historical preservation reasons but I have to find time to get a walkthrough
thank goodness I downloaded space engine and all the dlcs a few days ago
??
gog-games is a piracy site that hosts torrents for games on GOG. The real GOG isn’t shutting down.
Thanks for the clarification. I panicked for a second, too lol.
Edit : The banner was on a different website gog-games.to
Even on gog-games i can’t see that banner.
Neither on the official gog.
In fact I don’t see OP banner on any GOG related website. And not on any site using the same logo at the top.
Weird, it comes up for me:
Ah it is indeed yet another gog-games domain… Not to confuse with gog-games.org.
Also while searching for the .to website I just saw a report of a user suspecting a malware infection after downloading a game there.
Honestly, seeing how many websites share similar domains I would be very cautious browsing them…
But the banner is indeed real.
Edit : For more transparency, Here is the reddit post being suspicious about this site :
https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/1qb0whb/goggamesto_is_safe_not/
But there is also reports that says its safe for the games but to be careful with the ads on the site that might lead to dangerous stuff. Probably a good idea to browse with a decent adblocker at least.
https://gog-games.to/ is a well-known site with a good reputation (but also, because Gog’s games are signed, they couldn’t slip malware into them without being caught anyway, which is part of the reason they have a good reputation in the first place. There’s enough eyes on them that if they’d ever altered any of the game they put on their site they’d have been caught immediately.)
Maybe you have blocking rules preventing it from showing
LOL, imagine your business is being a pirwcy knockoff of a real site and you still go under.
They’re actually donating their excess funds, that doesn’t exactly scream ‘going under’.
what was this site? I used to have all my gog library shared on slsk, but right now I don’t have enough storage to keep them on my pc
It was a direct download site with links to every GOG game. It was good because it kept all the downloads up to date pretty consistently. Old school, no dealing with torrents unless you want to, just grab it from your browser. It’s still up for a little while at https://gog-games.to/
direct download site
It’s just a piracy website
well I guess I’m gonna queue up torrents for all the games I was planning on downloading now
Goddammit, first MagiPack, now this, who’s next? I guess in the future the only way you’ll be able to pirate games anymore is through torrents which you have no idea if they’re safe or not?
This is AWFUL news :/
😭😭 i dont torrent so fk me😔
I especially liked that they always tried to keep the best Version instead of the latest.😞
