AlexZeusMercer: steam has near 7100 games and 6300 DLCs
god i hate dlc's :( the gaming dev community have gone to far with dlc paid content
in order for other publishers to notice that gog is a good alternative and sign here and release their games
we need at least 3500 games here, well 1340 currently is not quite there yet
who knows in time maybe gog.com will be a steam replacement and cut their monopoly
Where did the number 3500 come from? Why is that the magic number? god i hate dlc's :( the gaming dev community have gone to far with dlc paid content

Personally, I don't think they need higher numbers. They need modern, big ticket releases. If the goal is to be an alternative then the masses don't care much about $20 games that are a year old. They care about throwing down $60 for things that aren't even out yet. None of the big boys want to let GoG in on that action because they want to maintain control via DRM and their personal delivery systems. That's not a GoG shortcoming. That's the reality of not playing that game - of being different. I would like a more complete catalog to choose from, but that isn't an easily solvable problem.
Complain that GoG needs to sellout their DRM stance, or go tell the AAA studios they need to lighten up on the DRM thing, because without some agreement there we aren't going to see a lot of what is out there. That's just the way this thing is going to work, but the second GoG decides it is willing play their game there stops being much point to there being a GoG. So my suggestion is go knock on everyone else's door and ask "why are you DRM-ing 5+ year old games?"
