"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"

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 8 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

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