      Also if I may add, having followed GOG for some 9 years now, it always seemed to me like their worst side is transparency/communications, only starting to change in recent years but weakly so. Having them share the information openly, even if by newsletter, is to me quite the improvement already.

      A free month of… access to a discord server?

      What exactly does GOG Patrons give me?

      As a Patron, you’ll get access to our dedicated community Discord server, featuring fun gaming-related activities and exclusive video content, plus special recognition across GOG in the form of unique badges and mentions on GOG Preservation Program game pages. Perks may grow or change over time, but we’ll always communicate them clearly before you sign up.

      I can’t imagine GOG is losing much

        Doesn’t change the fact that it’s a decent move. “Sorry guys we didnt bill you when expected so now we just wont bill you at all until the next interval”.

        You had to scroll through a lot on your linked site to get to the part that you copied… It is not a service, it is more of a donation. Hence the name “Patron” I assume.

          It is not a service, it is more of a donation.

          Yeah, they’re so great for… not charging their monthly donation subscription twice?

          I’m pretty sure I knew that already. The other guy said they got a month “for free,” which begs the question “what are you getting?”

              Thanks, but I’m pretty sure I already knew that too

                  Let me tell you, you’re a real valuable member of the community, telling me what I already said twice and offering nothing new to the conversation. Thanks for taking the time to read each comment thoroughly before posting.

        You were wrong and now you’re barking at some other thing, a bit pathetic isn’t it? It’s not life threatening to say you misunderstood. It happens to all of us.

          It’s because he has a small penis and being a big dick online helps him forget about it for a moment.

          Don’t ask me how I know. :/
