I was going to suggest that some of the community leaders/SCP heads send an e-mail to GOG to smooth things over and voice our support for them (the way I see it we both benefit. We send people to GOG, they Google Freespace 2 online and find us) but it seems like that has already (or will be) done. I've always been a fan of the relatively high levels of maturity and leadership in this community (even if I wasn't so mature when I joined 7 years ago).

Oh my flipping god.  Wish I'd gotten here sooner but I really don't have anything new to add.  I just can't believe how far off the mark this is.  I really hope it was a compromised account, but I'm not all so sure.  And yes an email has already been sent apparently.

Edit:  One thing that wasn't mentioned I don't think was the fact that this particular sale SUPPORTS INTERPLAY as they're a legit distributor of the game now, not just buying it on ebay or something.  That's why we've been sending people there.

I accidentally the whole FS2 community. Is this bad?


Seriously what the hell?

The only way that e-mail would make any modicum of sense is if GoG would be offering FS2_Open and FreeSpace Upgrade material (mediaVP's) for a price, instead of the retail game, and even then, foam-mouthed trashing wouldn't be quite appropriate.

Since this is not the case, it makes no sense AND it's just foam-mouthed dickery. I would call it superdickery but that's reserved for superman.


So, yeah. Brainfart. I hope you can convince GoG that it was just that, and not really typical for the community as a whole. :rolleyes:

I'm locking this for now since I've had a chat with LP and I'm now going to talk to the admins about what is going to happen.
