Recognizing their hard work, it would have been helpful if they had occasionally issued public appeals for donations, similar to FitGirl. Numerous sailors are eager to assist such a great site and would be prepared to donate or advocate for their continuity.
Their main issue is prematurely assuming negative outcomes without providing the community with an opportunity to extend meaningful support. Additionally, their communication has been somewhat ambiguous and mysterious (and still is), causing confusion among users.
Yeah, this shit’s just weird all around. Don’t ask for money, but swap the site to invite-only because people aren’t giving you money? Calling it invite-only, but offering no path or conditions for getting an invite? Calling it invite-only but saying that it will at some point be open again? Giving no explanation as to when or why it might open again? If it costs too much money to be open why would it open up?
Just weird. Use your words, people.
Friendly reminder that you can still access the site via Tor, simply access the official GoG-Games Mastodon account and copy the address where it says ‘Tor’, now copy the address into the Tor browser and that’s it!
Remember that you should not download the file through Tor, you should simply obtain the file address to download it through your regular browser.
Sometimes it takes a long time to connect or gives a connection timed out error, but at least for me it eventually works after a while.
Edit: Stop upvoting me, it seems they not only deleted the link to the tor site, but when you try to access it, it tells you that the site doesn’t exist anymore. :(
