Just did a GOG survey that focused on the idea of a paid membership option on GOG. Seems they’re determining what people would be willing to pay extra for. Some of the options were

  • a tool for backing up offline installers
  • ability to install previous versions of a game
  • extra insight into the preservation work they’re doing.
  • voting rights on games to bring into the preservation program.

And others that I can’t remember.

    I like what GOG do, but gating features, even niche ones, behind a subscription sounds like the first step towards enshittification.

    Also, I’m sure as hell not giving them extra money until they fix their platform on Linux/Steam Deck.
