GOG.com is a DRM-free games and movies distribution service that is part of the CD Projekt Group. GOG.com is also a "sister" company to CD Projekt Red, developers of the Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077.
Rules:
The questions are so weird... And they repeat themselves.
"I feel I have a close relationship with GOG." followed by "I feel that I am personally connected to GOG. "
"GOG changes how it treats me" ... ??
Are they really asking for 25mn of my time for a survey badly made with AI?
For me the "GOG is part of me as a person"was the weirdest one. That just felt icky. You are a company, stop trying to be more than that. I like you for your DRM free stance, but everything more is not healthy.
People calling Gabe their god are probally like that, tho.
Not all. I like to joke about "GabeN our saviour" as well, but those who earnestly say that: yeah, that is not healthy.
Is GOG in the room with you right now? Or do you only feel the presence of GOG before or after you wake up?
GOG was concerned that I might be developing feelings for Steam and needed to check on the state of our relationship.
They repeat and rephrase questions in contexts like this to look for consistency/coherence in your responses. And because some people interpret questions differently.
:/
I've been in an closed focus group once, and you would not believe how weird questions can be when they come from an out of touch marketing department in a billion dollar company...
"If there's any GOG in the room it should manifest physically right now"
Gog is a Czech company, right? Could it be a translation issue? Maybe an AI-written survey that was then translated? I don't understand those questions either. I do know, however, that some "serious" surveys intentionally repeat questions with slightly different wordings in order to tease out nuance or detect how mutable a given opinion is (or whether the surgery-taker is paying attention?). Can't say whether that's the case here, of course; as you said, they're weird questions.
Polish company.
The repetition was also in there for a few questions.
It's a personality test with a hint of project managers wanting to know which areas of GOG they should focus on.
A warning that it's really fucking long would have been nice.
At least in my email it said it takes roughly 20-25 minutes, which fit for me.
It's shit like this that gives me feedback fatigue
I think that last question makes sense. Facebook for example just changes their AI on the regular for no apparent reason and doesn't care about feedback. Youtube will introduce new rules for monetization and will treat their content creators badly because they have nowhere else to go - or so they are made to believe. So, that question is valid.
The first one though... no idea what they're going for. The first part seems like they' asking "when you think about buying games, is the first though 'I'll get it on GOG'". Most people think about Steam or a PC when buying games or gaming in general. But that second part... no fathom.
The question "I like that GOG curates its catalogue based on the capricious whims of the CCP" is strangely absent from the survey.
Sorry, but I stopped after the third similar question group, what a nonsense and waste of time!
Don't forget the hidden question to make sure that you are paying attention.
I liked that one, such an easy way to throw out everybody not paying attention.
What's my age again?
Bloody ancient if you’re quoting blink
Any question about Linux or Steam Machine/Deck support?
Nope.
