GOG.com Not Really Gone

gspr writes "On Sunday, Slashdot and many others reported that DRM-free games site GOG.com was shutting down. Now the site is back, revealing that it was all a hoax. According to the site: 'Now it's time we put an end to all the speculations once and for all. It's true that we decided that we couldn't keep GOG.com the way it was so we won't. As you probably know by now, GOG.com is entering its new era with an end of the two-years beta stage and we're launching a brand new GOG.com with new, huge releases.' So it was all an advertising stunt."

Ah, so you're one of those who make the distinction between "lied" and "mislead" and do not seem to feel that misleading is a bad thing. I'll be sure to remember that I have to parse all your posts very carefully for potentially hidden meanings. Actually, that sounds like a lot of work, I think I'll just skip reading what you have to say so I don't get confused.
