On: GOG.com shut down

[kmfrk]

The owners, CD Projekt, may have been bought out[1][2]. Supposedly, it's likely to be announced around September 22.

In general, I encourage people to check out the relevant Quarter to Three thread, as that's where all the game developers tend to hang out (GOG.com's Tom Ohle just to mention one):

On another note, this is so friggin' weird and impetuous.

Reading the Qt3 forums, this seems more like an abrupt PR stunt.

This would be the most stupid PR move ever. "Hey guys, let's bring the entire site down to get some buzz." No, I don't think I'm buying that.

The Julian Assange maneuver does unfortunately appear to work.

Yep. At this point, I'm not assuming anything. I'll just wait it out to see what gets announced.
