Again, doing the great work of selling us on the ludicrous investment into AI instead of real people...

The AI was probably free and the banner artists probably not

5000 people literally giving a for-profit company money, and GOG couldn't pay a graphic design apprentice to draw an abstract banner?

Fucking gross.

Which banner is it? I went around looking for it but couldn't find anything. Just curious how it looks.

This article has a picture of it. The main giveaway is the melting SNES.

Thanks!

Right now it's at the very top of gog.com

[–] bonenode@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I looked for it but couldn't see anything. Comparing it with the pic in the article it turns out my mobile browser just mangled the layout and cut it off.

AFAIK GOG isn't doing as well as it used to - probably that's the cause of merger with CDPR and later sale to Kiciński.

On one side, it indicates they try to save money, on the other, Kiciński said they'll look into making a Linux client - which is a great direction all things considered.

It's a business first after all
