Here is the full letter, make your own judgment as to weather it was misleading. Keep in mind if it was just a misunderstanding they apperently didn't respond to reporters emails asking for clarification and/or details. It got them a lot of coverage, on the other hand it's a kind of assholish thing to do.
Also keep in mind this lovely litte gem also by gog;
So yeah if you had the bad luck to buy at around that time you wouldn't have gotten your game for a few days. How's that for customer service?
They screwed up, it happens but whenever I get asked for my opinion on GOG I'll always remember this little gem.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
Quote:Dear GOG users,
We have recently had to give serious thought to whether we could really keep GOG.com the way it is. We've debated on it for quite some time and, unfortunately, we've decided that GOG.com simply cannot remain in its current form.
We're very grateful for all support we've received from all of you in the past two years. Working on GOG.com was a great adventure for all of us and an unforgettable journey to the past, through the long and wonderful history of PC gaming.
This doesn't mean the idea behind GOG.com is gone forever. We're closing down the service and putting this era behind us as new challenges await.
On a technical note, this week we'll put in place a solution to allow everyone to re-download their games. Stay tuned to this page and follow us on Twitter and Facebook for updates.
All the best,
GOG.com Team

Quote:We know our little game with closing down the site made some of you angry. Once again we’d like to apologize to everyone who felt deceived by us closing down GOG.com without any warning and without giving you access to your games. We apologize for that from the bottom of our hearts, it was done with the best of intentions and hopefully we can make it up to you!
