Clear skies and soft sunshine :)

But all that aside, there are some things I'd love to see in the future;

I would like to see GoG Galaxy act as a front end for Games, Movies, and Music (Soundtracks/Albums). I envision something which would be a cross between (as an example) Steam/XBMC - a UI which provides us with internet (GoG store) browsing, front-end launcher for games, in-game chat (room) capabilities which would allow people on-line in single player mode to chat on a general (or game specific) channel, comic/e-book reader, movie viewer, audio injector (so I can play my favourite Witcher songs while playing Wasteland), Mod Chemist/Factory, and all backed up by efficient automated library management software which could scrape media/game information (and fanart) from various free sites around the web.
Also need vanity items at some stage because, regardless of how some people might cry, they help pay the bills and will attract more people. Just look at the amount of trade Steam does with Counter Strike:GO items, it's mind boggling to see virtual items selling for $400 (and makes me wonder how they get taxed) ........ but if it pays the bills and keeps stuff DRM-Free :)

Great suggestion, if its going to be sleekly designed I can't say otherwise.

Though I find that gog should just include more games. The site, even though its already 6 years old, is still in its infancy considering how vastly potential things are for them as a company. With The Witcher 3 soon coming out, I kinda expect big things coming here. I agree, however this shouldn't be done only with real life money, why not include overall play time into the calculation for those who do not want to buy something "that no one needs" with real life money? Of course, there can be special items that can only be aquired with hard earned cash for those who need it since it's not at-all counterproductive to the DRM-free movement at all as it's an entirely optional thing.

Hell, you can make an entire metagame around gaining Galaxy levels or something like with Steam. Or do something that Valve didn't came up with. We can only speculate how things will fare.

Totally agree, if Galaxy is done correctly it could sky-rocket GoG into a very powerful position in the games distribution market - which leads to more games :)

I see Steam has just released a "Music" library onto their UI, didn't even know they were working on this idea ...

I will like to see a good design, seriously, I thought I will get used to the new one, but is still SO horrible, before, everyday I visited this website it was a party, now... it makes me cry ... T_T

I've just been testing Steam's music library/player and found it's abysmally basic, not to mention that out of the 500+ games I have there's only about 15 albums - all in mp3 too. Odd that many of the Collector Edition games I've purchased from stores and been forced to register with Steam come with DVD's containing extras (like FLAC, artwork) but very few of them actually download through Steam.



This might be GoG's chance.

Could almost do it with XBMC now I think about it, has the ability for scrapers to use a sites XML API capabilities so all that's really needed is an add-on. Could set a GoG Download directory and the software could compile a users music library and scrape the meta info from a GoG database, could even use the games "artwork" as a slideshow backdrop while music plays .......

I'll freely admit that one of the things I love most about GoG's games is the Music & Artwork which comes with it.

3D printable designs (e.g. Figurine of Geralt, or miniature of that Spider Mech on Wasteland 2 cover)!
They could be rewards for Galaxy levels or simply created by developers to be traded between players like the Steam Tarding Cards.

GoG could even have one of their own artists do "Personalised Avatars" for a price, a true vanity item - money that would help produce a better Galaxy UI.

I know people say that very few own a 3D printer atm but I expect that will change, a few years from now they'll probably be part of a Multi-Function printer.

Maybe they could have a "physical shop" as well, so we could buy shirts, hats, White Wolf Pendant, miniature Cyberpunk figures, Letho's armour, herb pouch, Orins, etc
