Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You
biofaust@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Last year I played 56 Polish games on Steam.
This year I switched to Linux and to playing on GoG (a Polish company) exclusively.
Now this acquisition, still by a Pole, happens and it only sounds good to me.
One more round of Zubrowka for everyone!

Poland is so cool. They have such a burgeoning games industry.
Why are they so good at it, whereas the bigger and economically stronger Germany not as good?

A weak theory, but Poland being one of a handful of countries with a reasonable claim to “inventing” the computer probably helps, mostly indirectly. When deciding to invest in tech education things like that can make a big difference by stoking some national pride. The UK has absolutely benefited from Turing’s legacy keeping us alive involved in tech (despite everything).

The majority of Polish kids in my old school are unbelievably good with computers. My friend’s dad is also a self-taught electronic and IT specialist.
Now, I am really curious as to why so many Poles are tech wiz. I know GOG’s DRM-free philosophy is influenced by communism, but I can’t see how communism influenced many Poles to be good with IT as well.

I would do the same, but GoG support for Linux is so bad :(

yeah, just use Heroic. we don’t actually need GoG to give us a client.

I use Heroic Games Launcher and have no reason to complain.
