The former employee knew what they were doing with their choice of words.

“GOG regularly adapts its structure to its strategy and ongoing projects, sometimes this means eliminating certain roles — as was the case recently.”

Yeah, but firing 30% of your entire contract workforce reveals that you don't give a flying fuck about sustaining the lifespan of the storefront and prefer to pad the executives golden parachutes from the stock valuation.

Too bad, I use Steam and it works wonderfully on Linux, but i don't want it to be the only option.

GOG is the only big option if you want to own the games you purchase.

I'm really happy with my experience with GOG, but they put a lot of effort into their Windows app and i ws pretty blunt with my feedback, it is pretty useless to me and I find it unhelpful. Heroic game launcher on Linux great and cost GOG $0.00. My thought is that they have been focusing on the wrong things, fundamentally I love their strong DRM stance and when I am travelling internationally,the games I bought off GOG work, unlike Steam😡😡😡😡. So if they have come to this realization, then nothing about these changes are disturbing as a customer, but sad to hear their employees taking the hit. 😢

Unfortunate. Competition is generally good for the consumer and I'd hate to see one of more more customer-friendly storefronts go away.

The word choice is certainly not accidental.

I see what they did there. groan.

I'd certainly love to hear that they're at least turning a profit. It's my default store now, but given the ambiguity of what I'm buying in the multiplayer space, and the lesser experience I get as a Linux customer, they're not making it easy.
