"The site will be going private on March 23"

What does that mean exactly? It's not the same as going down? Will there be a way to access it?

it means you'll have to be a registered member to have access after it goes private.

They also conveniently have NO information on how to register. Really seems like "going private" means "shutting down"

And how do you register? I assume you have to donate? There's no other option anywhere.

i have no idea.

Gross.

Glad I never relied on them, though. Their download process always seemed weird to me.

Do you know of some other source for GoG files?

[–] somethingchameleon@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

No, sorry.

I would just use 1337x, but I recognize that's only appropriate if you have a VPN.

torrent or OCHs?

Before this website I used to download from dauphong or mercs215 on the pirate bay
