Repeat of the last time, some of the same people, too...I think GOG should just revert back to 62GB patches--just for them, you know.

It's wonderful when people who know nothing at all about making a game, programming a game, and patching it--decide that the developer is doing everything backwards. Ask them why they think so...and without exception they'll say, "But-but-but--I had a game once in which this wasn't required! That's how I know GOG is doing it wrong! Yea, that's it!"

Gog: "So, OK, what was the game and how big was this game when installed?"

Critic: "You expect me to recall trivial details like that? Come on--get a clue--start doing it right! I don't know... it was an old game and fully installed it was several hundreds of megabytes in size--what more do you want?"

Gog: "So, tell me what you want--do you want 62GB patches that take hours to download, or 34MB patches that download in minutes but may take awhile to execute when patching the game?"

Critic: "Look, OK, it's obvious you don't know what you are doing. Maybe you should let me take over the programming of this game?"

Gog: "OK...tell you what--what's your last game...what do you consider to be your highest programming achievement?"

Critic: "Oh, that's easy...;) Hey, man, I just finished a course called "Computers 101" that's what! I know what I'm talking about."

Gog: "So...your credentials...What did you learn, exactly?"

Critic: "Man, you don't know *anything* do you? I learned all about Wordstar--the el primo of non-WSIWYG word processing, that's what! You have to be top notch to learn that thing! Bet you couldn't even follow what I just said, eh?"

GOG: *cough* *choke* *sputter*...."Oh--keeee-dooo-keee...I Look, just give me your info and I'll shoot you a refund, guy! No Problem! Thanks for putting me in my place. *sputter* *laughs wildly*

...And so it goes...the experts among us daily striving unselfishly to put peon know-nothing professional programmers in their place! This is the untold story of...the People who know Everything! Trumpet blast!


I'm never wrong about anything, and so if you see an error in any of my posts you will know immediately that I did not write it...;)
