Nice to see a platform like GOG becoming so proactive these last 12 or so months (or, more so than they were previously)

With so many new initiatives (or in the case of the Dreamlist!) - re-imagined ones!

Dino Crisis and the sequel weren't my kind of games, even being made specifically for modern hardware. I'm too young to have the nostalgia or patience for the so called 'tank controls' of the old days. But I still bought them to support the initiative. I'm just one of those poor fools waiting and hoping for a modern sleek remake, like the Resident Evil games were blessed with!

STILL, so nice to see this billboard in a prominent space! Nice work, GOG.

Imagine people go to a part of NYC to be advertised to.

I despise adverts and see them as an attack on my eyes, especially irl.

That said it’s odd that I find the ones in Times Square or Piccadilly Circus (London) quite fascinating when near them. Kind of don’t mind them as they’re concentrated in those areas and well known for them. Just an interesting thought I had.

It's a bit like a concrete vs random noise.

If you had to listen to a random rock song on high volume at random times in your videos, and having 100 of different songs screaming at you when you go about your day. You would find that annoying and disorderd.

On the other hand if you went to a rock concert or festival you would be fine with it and even expect that to happen.

I view this similar. Time Square and Piccalilli Circus are just festival grounds for adds.
