Another month, another survey where I was unable to answer most of the questions because I have not bought any new games since October.
I did buy myself a new faster graphics card in the interim though. That does kind of eat into my gaming budget.

Well, to be fair, I have had something of a backlog ever since the Humble Indie Bundles started coming out, and that was over four years ago.

I can also certainly agree with the comment about having a large gaming backlog, although in my case it does also have something to do with the fact I am increasingly having trouble finding the time and inclination to play them.
Hopefully 2015 will allow me to further reconnect with my inner gamer once more.

Pertinent response to my support request:
Quoting: Kenneth YeastAh, that's it then. We haven't updated the 32 bit client yet, only the 64 bit. It's coming shortly.So there is indeed a certain amount of jumping the gun going on here.

The file included in the archive does just seem to be an auto-downloader that pulls the latest version, which would of course explain the fact they have the same checksum.
Considering that not even the latest Desurium would launch properly for me before, I seriously doubt I am running the older version.

Quoting: neffoThis all seems like a confected outrage. This isn't DRM. And by all accounts it's a trivial matter to bypass ... it just seems like a bizarre change, yes, but the response is completely overblown (like every linux gaming issue).You do realize that under my country's insane copyright laws bypassing this could be considered just as illegal as pirating the content itself?
Quoting: Copyright Modernization ActBill C-11 prohibits the circumvention of any access control installed on a work, performer’s performance fixed in a sound recording or a sound recording, even if the work subject to the digital lock is legally acquired.That alone makes this a very serious issue that GOG is going to have back away from.
