Just did a GOG survey that focused on the idea of a paid membership option on GOG. Seems they're determining what people would be willing to pay extra for. Some of the options were

  • a tool for backing up offline installers
  • ability to install previous versions of a game
  • extra insight into the preservation work they're doing.
  • voting rights on games to bring into the preservation program.

And others that I can't remember.

I honestly thought this was an option, but I can't see it in the client, and the offline installers only offer all patches and the latest version. Not the original version.

I agree that's daft, and hope that feature doesn't get paywalled. The more people who do the survey and stress these points, the better.
