Have you ever used GOG for gaming?
If I had other methods of paying other than the Steam Wallet, I would use GOG for sure as they have a LOT of older games (particularly RPGs) that aren't on Steam.
Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2 rock, so we are in total agreement about that.;)

The one thing I really dislike about GOG is, that it feels like there's Witcher everywhere.
When there's a sale, there's always some part of the Witcher franchise on top, when there's something on connect, it usually includes the Witcher, in their newsletter it's all about the Witcher. Oh, by the way, don't you want to buy the Witcher 3?
Yes, I know, that they're part of CDProject, that they're just trying to promote their stuff and it's probably cool if you're interested in the Witcher, but I freaking hate the Witcher. Technically and story wise it may be a nice game, I even like the genre, but still: one free weekend on Steam was was enough for me to find out, it's totally not my thing and that I just can't stand the protagonist and don't like the gameplay, no matter how well it may be done. At least on Steam I can check that box saying "not interested" and they don't bother me with it anymore.
Apart from that, I like the GOG philosophy, I bought something once, but there's not too many games left that I really want and I have so many on Steam already. Also their prices are often a bit steep, especially for the really old games, even when they're on sale, which may be fine when you're totally in love with some classic. In my case though, I don't even have time to play most of my games anyway, so if I'd be something out of nostalgia, it's gotta be cheap.

I've purchased some games on GOG which are not available on Steam, but I tend to keep forgetting that GOG exists and that I have a library of games there. If GOG provided Steam keys with their purchase as well as (not instead of*) the DRM free files, I would purchase a heck of a lot more from them.
*One of the core values of GOG is that they provide DRM free games, I'm not suggesting that they drop this core value, but rather that adding Steam keys as an option on top of that would go a long way to increasing the value proposition.

I just bought Neverwinter Nights 2 on GOG during the sale. I never taught I'd use GOG for gaming but they had one of the very few games I love and can't find on steam. I still have the physical Collector's edition of NWN2 home but the cds are ruined, I really have a crush for crpgs
The curious thing is that everything started when I recieved a spam mail of GOG telling Neverwinter Nights 1 was given for free(sold usually for 10$). One of my favourite games of all times FREE. Couldn't believe it so I rushed to get it and guess what... I really got it. It was like the site gave me a christmas present i wanted, so I decided to buy the second chapter to say thank you. Good job GOG, you got my money this time. Karma worked.
Just wanted to have some opinions about GOG from users and future users
