So much for the bright future under the new ownership. Meh, that didnt took long.

I love GOG and made tons purchases in the past if the games were avaivable there. I'd rather have my games entirely DRM free than having the conviences eg Steam brings to the table as a platform.

But the use of AI slop just isnt a good look. For me it only communicates one thing: We cut corners. Then not owning it up afterwards leaves a really bitter taste in my mouth. "Sorry, wont happen again. We wont use shitty genAI slop anymore on the shopfront." That aint hard(edit: and would still leave the door open for rApId pRoTotYpInG internally). I still would have had a bit of trust issues. But with that corperate nonanswer i'm not really willing to spent money on GOG anymore.

Also i always fucking hated corpo AMAs. I would have thought GOG would be able to host an AMA which would feel atleast somewhat human. Like sure they're still a business and have their obvious constraints what and how they can talk about things. But this? This was just a waste of time. Meh
