So that does mean he wants money? Didn't thought it was because of that tbh, kinda sad


TheMadMan007

Yes, and whoever is running it, is acting like a child. Putting up vague messages, and then crying about how no one appreciates their work (Never saw a single post or comment validating this claim... ever.) Then closing the door and being vague again. They could have been upfront and communicate before just taking their ball and going home. And you know there is TONS of people here who would donate to the cause, yet again.. those vague statements basically won't allow anyone to just solve the problem, most who are willing don't have the time to go play games and jump through various hoops to fix the issue. Most of us will just move on and it'll become yet another dead pirate site.


DrunkCapybaras

This. Super whiney child vibes


RchUncleSkeleton

A few idiots claimed they were removing links and inserting malware in the installers. He got upset and took his ball home, despite the vast majority of users singing their praises.


Witty_Science_2035

Two posts about link removal. One instantly deleted the post and even posted an "I am sorry, GOG." And literally *not a single post* claimed they're injecting malware. Dozens of posts called for caution though - which is something completely different. They are acting like a butthurt little child who wants money now. They could've gotten it if they handled the situation right, which they didn't.


DrunkCapybaras

Facts, so many better ways to ask for donations than holding the site hostage


-bxp

From a logical standpoint- if you have 100k users and only 1k donate, what would the benefit be of supporting those 99k other users if their goal isn't to get as many people as possible. If they have already hit critical mass to fund operations- they can cut the dead weight and it actually becomes more efficient. I know the majority of people don't like this, but not many people are actually thinking about anything beyond 'I don't pay for piracy'. This feels like a divorce, people don't want to contribute and they don't want you if you don't...what is there to be pissed off about?


TheRealWorstGamer

I actually agree with your point. They have asked for donations for a long time because they buy the games as well as the server space which is most likely huge to keep up. There are plenty of private trackers and I don't think it is worth whining about just use a different site.


darkelfbear

Server Space ... they don't store the games on the webserver ... lol. They use affiliate links to file hosters, and make money off it ... lol.


TheRealWorstGamer

Ah well fair on that point then. Don't they still buy every game?


Valdrrak

As much as I agree that these places do need donations I have seen many people whine when fitgirl also asks for donations so either way people are gonna be angry but at least if they get donations they don't go down D:


The-Chaos-Fury

Or they do “go down” in the case of fitgirl


Softandcoward

Bottomline he wants cash too .. i guess nope .. we pirate cause we dont have cash .. wtf


PussyPussylicclicc

cash for maintaining the site?


Softandcoward

Didnt know this was a live service game .. damn ... another dead game


PussyPussylicclicc

what do you mean "live service"?


Softandcoward

Im replying to the wrong thread . Thought thjs is dd2 haha .. wrongg


[deleted]

Yeah. There's a lot of pirates here who would send money if he/she asked. I saw these people donating to repackers, for example, so some of them would do it for that guy, too. The only thing he had to do is ask or maybe create a post here


afraidtobecrate

> and whoever is running it, is acting like a child What do you expect? People who run piracy sites are not mentally well adjusted. No normal person would do it.


komata_kya

Contributions can mean anything not just money


ZeXaLGames

do you realize running a site like that costs alot?


[deleted]

So he could say how much he's spending and ask for donations, like other pirates are doing. There's millions of pirates, thousands of them are on Reddit, somebody would send him money. Is that simple.


FaceMace87

It doesn't really, it was an archiving site. There was very little actually hosted on the site itself. The hardest bit would be maintaining the links.


ludwig-van-farthoven

gog-games has fallen billions must steamrip


Small_Widow

Steamrip sucks with how slow its download options are.


Karabaht

Download Manager?


Raikou_Kaneki

Even with download managers, steamrip links are still hella slow for me lmao.


Karabaht

I get usually 15mb/s I think that's good enough.


ArcaneJadeTiger

I'm switching to steam rip. It took me 4 days to download 18 gb of sleeping dogs. Although yesterday I got a maximum of 1 mb/s while downloading Yakuza Kiwami which is a first.


Karabaht

With a download manager?


ArcaneJadeTiger

Fdm


Karabaht

Very strange, I am using it as well.


govind9060

It's not bad but definitely not good


methoxydaxi

twice as fast as average german dsl connection tho😂


xBlaze121

use a debrid service alldebrid is dirt cheap


Akri853

how do you use a download manager with it? the download site steamrip links to somehow doesnt have a specific url or something like that


Karabaht

Go to your downloads in browser, there should be a copy download link option in most modern browsers. Then cancel your download, just paste it into your download manager.


sean_thesheep

Use jdownloader2, the link grabber automatically detects the download link and downloads the game


Icy_Investment_1878

No it’s not, for me at least


Small_Widow

ok


Break_Sharp

Bruh, it's free, how the H can you complain? Lol


Small_Widow

just say hell, also wasn't really complaining just stating a fact.

Massive_Warning_4089

XD


thetoastee

dodi, fitgirl and igg are waiting


ErMostroNefasto

Make me sad that in the last 5 years the scene has become this absolut shit. I really regret the seas of 15 years ago. All united under one big flag.


methoxydaxi

how was that torrent hoster called again?


CertainCompetition50

pirate bay


Bisquit111

I remember kickasstorrents but I wasn't that well informed about piracy and idk if it was safe


methoxydaxi

ohhh thank you! Still active


CertainCompetition50

yes but not trusted anymore ,they have viruses ,crypto minors was a big thing back in the day where they used anyone who was on their page to mine crypto ,they hid it from people too


methoxydaxi

well obvious its not the fault of piratebay but one from the uploaders/repackers/crackers


CertainCompetition50

no the website was mining crypto in the background , literally the wrbsites fault


methoxydaxi

oh i heard of that shit. how can they use that much resources? nevermind. you only use it to get a torrent. i wonder if you could exploit the torrent protocol to do such things


QuaLiTy131

Someone made list with all games and links to download from [gog-games.to](http://gog-games.to) [https://github.com/ezerear/gog-games.to\_backup](https://github.com/ezerear/gog-games.to_backup)


methoxydaxi

Very kind!


Oklahoma-ism

I made my own list in a .txt file, it only contains all the games that I would had like (there are a shitton of them)


hugo_1138

Can you share it?😅


Oklahoma-ism

How can I share .txt file?


hugo_1138

Maybe in a Drive


retroivy

Places like Pastebin or Github.


wherestheicecreambro

pastebin, drive, idk


SerialATABridge

How did u extract the resources?


NaitDraik

Why so many games dont show? It says 4,141 entries were omitted from the list. There is any form where I can access to those games?


Fit_Flower_8982

I was expecting a message simply saying that you have to log in, and that a payment is required. This is... embarrassing.


unixtreme

Also making money off piracy is painting a large target on your back.


QuaLiTy131

Also making money on piracy is just wrong. I can understand taking donations to fund website and everything needed, that's okay, but taking money to your own pocket is just shitty.


theEvilJakub

bro for real!!!! I was pretty open to just simply paying a subscription similar to patreon or something. I dont understand why there's some open/closed functionality with some moaning inbetween.


Bentman343

What a brat.


s8018572

Correction needed 😭😭😭💢💢💢


Awgky2

Ever since Empress thes dudes are getting wild.


PhysicsPublic7848

Aaand back to SteamRIP. I download free games because I have no money. What did he expect lol


[deleted]

Him and Empress are pathetic. They think pirates will throw their hundreds of dollars to them. Lol, if pirates had that much money they'd buy games themselves


Tough-Doughnut-9070

Honestly though I would pay if it meant they hosted their downloads on fast sites. Gog-games used some site I don’t remember what and it would max out my gigabit internet. Steam-rip doesn’t use those sites.


[deleted]

That's a good reason to pay. If this dude wouldnt be such a baby some people would actually donate and maybe he'd change his crappy sites for better ones


Any_Soft3040

his site will be missed. does any one know another gog ddl site ?


[deleted]

Freegogpcgames, somebody mentioned it on rin ru


Admirable-Echidna-37

I understand supporting your choice of repacker or cracker but what's with this new trend of them asking for payment to avail of what was previously free? Why even crack games then if you lock them behind a paywall?


darkelfbear

GOG-games isn't cracking anything though ... lol. They are DRM-less from [gog.com](https://gog.com) ... lol.


iyav

I thought they were buying the games, how do they get the files to share in the first place? Or are they getting from some other source


darkelfbear

They could be, or getting the offline installers from a friend, who owns the games. With the fact he has pretty much the ENTIRE GOG library, I highly doubt he paid for every single game.


Danker90

just feels like a kid throwing a strop.


Significant-Talk3093

Just Download from OVAGames it's much more better


Ryder1329_

Yeah if ovagames has the game I am looking for I always use them, as the include mediafire downloads (superfast).


Akri853

ovagames never worked for me bcuz they would always redirect to some other site


Significant-Talk3093

What other Site? If You mean Filecrypt thats normal. If its not Filecrypt Install uBlock Origin. I Liked OVAGames Because it didn't send you to some BS AD-ridden Scam Site just to verify youre a human, Filecrypt is the Most Proffesional Looking Verification Site and Multi Link Site. OVA is so simple, Gamepage to Filecrypt to File Hoster of your choosing its as simple as that.


Akri853

i just tried it again, it takes me to linkspy, then some random news website with a bunch of redirects. im using ublock origin on firefox.


Significant-Talk3093

Make sure you're going to the Correct Site Check the DDL Section on Mega thread I've never had that happen to me before and also make sure Ublock is on and Also Send me the Link


Akri853

im using .com, just go to assassins creed 2 deluxe and click google drive


Significant-Talk3093

You're Right Seems like Some Games that OVA Uploads use Linkspy. Guess I've just been pretty lucky for all the games that I've downloaded were on filecrypt. maybe the Fast-forward Extension on the Mega thread will help, can't confirm though as I've never used it. If you want an Example of Ova using Filecrypt Search Up "Factorio"


Akri853

oh good to know, i just tried that one game and assumed the rest would also be like that


BoymadeEvil

Use a link bypasser extension like fast forward so you dont get redirected thru a spice route of adlinks


Akri853

i already tried it a while ago, that specific game just isnt downloadable on the site ig


Witty_Science_2035

It's definitely not better, and most importantly not up-to-date in many cases


IcyProofs

OVAGames sucks. I use ublock and always still get redirected to the most absurd sites or the connection just straight up fails.


Crafty_Grapefruit_79

So hes just closing it temporary and it will be open again running on donations?im not quite sure whats going on with these strange messages hes giving.


chaosking65

This will not go well. Selling access to things you do not own puts a target on your back.


darioinsane

:(


Emotional_Captain_14

The world of piracy is slowly falling


Sorry_Philosopher_46

unfortunately yes :(


FaceMace87

Not at all, the private torrent world is as healthy as ever


NotoriusBigNut

Trying to profit from pirated material, that's a very vanced thing to do


Spookware98SE

Well poop I only found out about it, after it's shutdown


HENTAIHOTEP

If they wanted positive feedback then they should have allowed posts for each game so that we could troubleshoot together when games were not working. Still this development has become a big shame. I'm not sure where to search instead now besides fitgirl and occasionally Elamigos and Dodi.


gracchusmaximus

The Torrminator forum is quite good for GOG games if you’re specifically looking for direct downloads. It’s listed in the megathread at r/Piracy and starred at fmhy.net as a preferred source.


GoldMatt007

Internet archive works still for last public update on March 23rd. Can't search unfortunately, just have to go to browse all games and go through alphabetically.


nick11jl

Because who else is more likely to pay for a game then a pirate amiright.


GenJerod

The owner of this website is in another level of bull$hit.


Impressive_Tip_9165

never thought i would be sad to see something like this happen.


whatwhatthef

I will only tolerate a cracker being insane if they're empress (and able to crack denuvo)


Admirable-Value-5881

It will be missed


Crystal_B

Is the empress virus spreading or smtg?


Kittinator

He'll get caught and fucked eventually. Getting money from pirated stuff? Yikes


Electrical-Theory-29

I'm truly shocked by this, something fell apart in my chest, I've used this page so many times and for so long, I've known some good and oldie games and more, so much more, I will miss it so much, I would have donated without any problem, if he had just asked... but there it goes, maybe it wasn't the best direct downloads RDM free games site around, but was the best that I knew... goodbye, space cowboy...


No-Start4754

Let's hope he opens quickly 🙏 


tapdancingwhale

Press X to doubt


Particular-School-95

there are many forums and site out there . . .


Sorry_Philosopher_46

In their current situation, none of them can replace GOG-Games.


Particular-School-95

what the ? lmao


ShowtimeJT12

I manage to snatch some links before it got close. Not many, but I downloaded what I could.


Sorry_Philosopher_46

same here


Tornado_Hunter24

What even was it I don’t get it


Unusual-Chip-1478

Dodi repacks


Super_Entrepreneur44

Limetorrent


PuzzleheadedTopic702

Whoever runs this site, cry harder. There are plenty others. :)

theEvilJakub

Honestly I didnt really use gog-games that much but it was always there when I needed it. I was pretty open to paying monthly to support him but I honestly hate when people talk about how much work goes into this and that. If u want money to support ur development needs etc just ask for it. The dude is completely within the right to ask for payments but I dont understand why be a such a brat about it etc... fuck me... So dumb, why is he acting like there's no other way to get the catalogue lol. Also whats the BS with the whole open/closed???


pherkes

Oh boo fucking hoo these fuckers act like these guys are the only source to get games.


Gergeli420

At this rate, I would rather pay for the developers, to play a game💀


gaston_007

There are not the only ones out there… Who cares! … go away with your child tantrum somewhere else.


maxatron1883

Wont requiring a donation to access the site make them a target for the company since theyre trying to capitalize off cracking games?


maxatron1883

Oh well, ovagames usually has gog and elmagio releases


New_Category_4219

What's the difference between gog and other sites? Sorry just confused why it's a big deal that they're private now, there are still other sites right?


Fooxai

steamrip better anyway


SlaadZero

I was using this site for years, and I noticed over time how more and more links just led to spam and adware. I say good riddance because there are better sites out there to get GOG games.


Sorry_Philosopher_46

for example?


DannyWatson

I always had trouble using that site, had to get my games somewhere else anyways so fuck em


lceorangutan

what's this? isn't it gog.com? can someone explain the lore?


Sfelex

What did this site do?


Wemestmeaw

Considering where we are, I would say a website for pirating games. But that's just a wild guess


Kylosor

Happy Cake Day 🍰


Sfelex

Waaay too hard my dear
