I was stunned that my last submission, that the gog.com shutdown was a marketing ploy, received 0 upvotes. It was the latest development in the story that was voted #1 just two days prior:

It appears they're actually back now, so I've submitted it again:

- reitzensteinm 16y agoI take it from the downvote and lack of general interest that the problem isn't that nobody saw it, it's that people genuinely didn't care. I'm surprised, but I stand corrected.
- eneveu 16y agoWell... You simply linked to their front page. This submission got more interest: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1717172 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1717172 I think such an article generates more interest because it puts everything in context, and explains GOG's strategy / hoax.
- reitzensteinm 16y agoThanks for the link - it puzzled me because I didn't realise the story had already done the rounds, and search didn't turn anything up. Makes total sense now. The front page at the time had a post discussing what had happened - now it just links to the main site.
