Fair enough, perhaps that was not the smartest move in case someone malicious with access to the GOG database happens to see that post. But it doesn’t tell anyone _on this forum_ much of anything new. My registration date already tells you chances are I didn’t know about the Kickstarter or didn’t back it. (For the same reason, chances are you did.) This in turn means I will have bought the game for a price between € 13 (lowest sale price afaik) and € 20 (regular price). The only potentially new piece of information here is that I found out specifically when GOG told me that this one game was on sale. It’s almost like posting nudes… > [@Just released adventure games](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/just-released-adventure-games/1428/296): > > I think this is personal data but google, amazon and apple will be pleased that you think different about these things already, you’re a citizen of the future (without rights and privacy). I’m sure this is not the least bit insulting in your book, either. 🙂 > [@Just released adventure games](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/just-released-adventure-games/1428/296): > > b) Not the music I listen to (but hey, I prefer bad music anyway). The point isn’t what anyone personally listens to, but that there are readily available, popular options still encumbered by DRM. It stands to reason that someone who hates DRM-free would prefer to make their music available on one of the DRM platforms. > [@Just released adventure games](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/just-released-adventure-games/1428/296): > > Do you think Ron Gilbert would have received more or less backers, if he would have announced TWP as Steam only? I think the answer is obvious. And from the interviews he gave throughout decades about the old games, the way he dealt with certain aspects in TWP, looking at the current situation, involving some logic … this leads me to the statements I’ve made. So if I understand you correctly, your standard mode of expression might be regarded as ever so slightly hyperbolic. Ron Gilbert having no special concern for DRM-free means he hates it. Someone sharing a tiny piece of information you wouldn’t means they’re practically posting nudes. I hope you at least treat positives the same way. 😉 > [@Just released adventure games](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/just-released-adventure-games/1428/296): > > I’m sorry but I’m not interested in searching for references for you. The thread takes too much time for very simplistic issues already. You claim to have written things in this topic which I can’t find, and refuse to very easily prove having done so. That looks quite simplistic indeed.
