  • Yes! GOG is absolutely excellent! For what it’s worth, Steam Support from Valve can absolutely issue refunds past the two weeks window, and I’ve done it for me in the past if the request was justified. The inside two weeks window that everyone knows is just for a no-questions-asked refund as long as the hours count is below two played.

    I’m glad to hear GOG has an even better method of handling.

    I absolutely adore GOG for being like this, and for consistently applying pressure to publishers and other marketplace vendors alike.

    I just also have A Steam Library with like 1200+ titles, and it’s measured in Terabytes. And butrot in my physical media will be non zero, in long enough timescale.

    I consider my continued patronage of buying games to be my subscription costs to the platform vendors. 🤣



  • To my knowledge, they peered with other registrars and hosts to manage the vending. At least, in 2008 ish they partnered almost exclusively with Apple (for their MobileMe cloud and email services issuing everyone dotME addresses) and GoDaddy. I think others had to resell somehow through them? But I could be mistaken on that detail.

    Domain squatting was a very profitable scourge on the internet back before all the obvious names were brought up , but it was one of the few popular TLD’s to gain any real traction with consumers until dotAI.

    I very briefly held, and did nothing with, “pants.me” which I regret to this day.
