GOG.com Tease

Unrelated to our wild speculation in the story below, GOG.com has a new update about plans to reveal what's going on with this service that sells DRM-free games updated for Windows Vista. They say their promised announcement will come tomorrow at noon EDT. They also have a new teaser video on the YouTube that has some images flashing by in a seizure-inducing sequence, one of which depicts Baldur's Gate, as shown in this capture (thanks EnsErnie). What this all means will be revealed in under 24 hours.

I smelled the stunt right away and thus wasn't pissed. But hey, let them share Planescape Torment for free and everyone else will be more than happy again.

The fact of the matter is if Steam had pulled the exact same stunt and shut down for 3-4 days, the amount of bitching and bad press would be epic.

To me it's in poor taste, but everyone roots for the little guy so they can't do no wrong.

Admittedly, if steam shut down for four days, people couldn't play any of their games for four days. (barring offline mode.) So I'd argue that the bitching would be well deserved at that point.

I've got the .exes of all the games I bought from GOG, so this didn't really bother me, but yeah, as a marketing ploy it's still pretty fucking stupid.
