I remember one of the founders of GOG being a part of the ZX Spectrum scene in Poland back in the eighties. He was sort of a major hub in the sneakernet where cassette tapes where the packets, snail mail was the backbone and walking around was the local network. Piracy wasn't even a word, everybody was "obtaining" games. No wonder GOG "get" gamers - their experience with the market goes 30 years back :)
- ajuc 13y agoWell, it was legal then - the copyright treaties were only signed around 1994 IIRC. And nobody was selling stuff to Poland anyway in eighties (even if we could buy it).
- praptak 13y agoYeah, that's what I meant about piracy not even being a word - indeed there was no other way to obtain software back then.
