[quote name="Arbit"][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]The people running Good Old Games are complete fucking idiots, and anyone who gives them a dime from this point forward instead of taking the games off Usenet shoot kill themselves. This was the <i>worst</i> thing they could have done. The WORST. What I did enjoy is that they seem to be genuinely surprised that work-funny doesn't equal real world-funny. But this cracked everyone up at work!!!???? If you think you're hilarious at work, you're not: you're a tedious piece of unfunny fucking garbage and you should shut the fuck up and not talk to anyone. The people everyone works with who are actually hilarious have enough social awareness to not be so during the forced, awkward, shared nightmare that is North American employment. Whatever, they'll be completely out of business in three years. The people running the company are too stupid to figure out how to make any money. the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey![/quote] With Steam, GFWL, Autodesk, the RIAA, et al competing to see how far they can cram their hand up my ass before I fold and quit buying their products, a stupid prank that had exactly zero effect on me is a small price to pay for cheap, DRM-free, downloadable games. When the initial closure message went up they indicated that you would still be able to download games you already had purchased come Thursday, so really worst case you couldn't (re)download games for less than a week. Still, a terrible joke, no doubt.[/quote]
