IBM doesn't call themselves Old Business Machines. What words am I redifining? "Back catalog" mean catalog of older items. "back catalog company" means a company that focuses primarily on a back catalog. Please tell me why you are so opposed to GoG being considered a "back catalog" company when selling and maintaining a back catalog was the only thing they did.
Do you think I (or anyone else) mean it as some sort of insult?
So now a company is required to have it in their name in order for it to be a 'back catalog', and since IBM doesn't have it in their name, the fact that they do a hell of a lot of work with older tech doesn't mean anything.
It isn't about any insult, it's about the absurdity of calling GoG a backlog at all. What impresses me the most about your response is how my taking issue with a misunderstanding in the first place is pigeonholed as being insulted (because how could anyone disagree on the basis of the argument itself! of course I must be insulted).
You are insisting that Good Old Games never primarily focused on old games. That is absurd.
My first guess was that there was some miss-communication and tried to be extremely clear on what I was saying. Maybe I am still not understanding you. Are you actually arguing that GoG never had selling and maintaining a catalog of old games as its primary focus?
My second guess was that you reaction was an emotional response to something.
I am trying to understand your point of view. So far I have been unsuccessful.
You're trying to redefine words to mean what you want them to mean, I hope you don't approach technical decisions in the same manner.
