stinkysack: I missed out on buying Horzon Zero Dawn on GOG becuase there was no messaging the it was "coming" so I ended up buying it on steam.

I'd like to get the 2 games mentioned in the subject on GOG. Any word on these?

Thanks,
Stinky

Orkhepaj: you should just wait a little before buying games , it fix a lot of problems

Ancient-Red-Dragon: The reason given on the OP as for why he bought the HZD on Steam is one of the main reasons for why big publishers almost never release their games on GOG, and when the few times when they do, it's only years later, after those games have become old & obsolete, and their sales have dried up on Steam.

Because the big publishers know that most GOG customers are not "No GOG, no buy!" types; but rather, they will happily, or at least reluctantly, buy the game they want on Steam if no GOG release seems to be coming.

Therefore, the publisher collects the same amount of money by not releasing their games on GOG as they would have if they did release their games on GOG.

Furthermore, the publisher also eventually gets double-dipper revenues from a lot of GOG customers who will buy the game twice (once on Steam or EGS, and once again on GOG) if it is released on GOG only after it's become old & obsolete.

For those reasons, publishers have zero incentive to release their good-selling big games on GOG before they've become ancient, and oftentimes, even then, they still don't.

mechmouse: Compare with Divinity Sin 2, Straight from first press release "YES THIS IS COMING TO GOG", GoG was always shown and mentioned on trailers. Everyone knew upfront this was coming to GoG. As a result 8% of sales were via GoG.

Ancient-Red-Dragon: But had it not been announced as coming to GOG, then chances are most of those 8% who prefer GOG as their favorite store for games would have bought it on Steam anyway.

Therefore, the income for the devs would be the same even if they didn't announce and/or release it on GOG.

That 8% does not represent any increased/extra income that they wouldn't have otherwise received if they had chosen not to release on GOG.
