Thanks I'll check it out.

To me, if a series is one of my favorites then I like new entries added to it as they have the potential to expand the lore/universe & provide more enjoyment of a favorite setting/characters.

Of course, I also dislike if a game/movie/etc is just made to make money with no thought or effort put into it as well.

There was. But I was pointing out that they have since corrected that oversight.

This. Literally This. So much this. THIS. OMG THIS

I didn't vote because I wouldn't buy the game but I'll repost the link:

The only people that aren't "politically motivated", IMO, are those who don't poison themselves watching telly.

You mean Kojak? Or the one muppet from Sesame St? Speak bloody english m8. ;)

Also, as for tv: Some of it is good.....if you watch classic shows or the few non-tampered with series.

Dungeon crawler, multiple classes, I added it to wishlist in steam. I pretty much buy and play all decent dungeon crawlers.

I don't get it GoG. I really don't. You decline a fairly large publisher like XSEED for no good reason yet you have no problem with letting tinyBuild put whatever they want here despite the fact they treat your customers like trash. I mean seriously...

I hope GOG hasn't turned down other classics like Dungeon Master.

If they allowed Daikatana(which many dislike) then they should have no problem with the newest Wizardry game/their niche argument falls flat.

No, it didn't.

Some of the gaming press put the pressure on gog by calling out their fucktarded, no-sense-making "curation". That's why Opus Magnum released here.

Dude, Daikatana is Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel compared to the dogshit they've released in recent years. And that's coming from soneone who HATED every mind-numbing second of Daikatana!

Hello Neighbor, anyone?

The honey I use for that is called money.

You know, that thing that gog doesn't make too much of, according to their quarterly reports.

It's not like this is an isolated incident, but rather another indication of a pervasive pattern of braindead decisions regarding which indie games to release here.

Sure, I'm happy we get the occasional AAA scraps. But that doesn't mean I have to be happy with the near-constant rejections of actually good indie games.

To everyone concerned:

I just followed tfishell's advice and sent a support form (see posts above) asking GOG to review their "curation" standards.
Regardless of the reaction I ask everyone to do the same, so that the GOG staff will at least know that we're pissed and that they risk losing our money.

Thanks in advance to those who'll do the same.

I don't get it, GOG. You gladly accept such "wonderful" (and definitely not too niche) games like SIMULACRA or Swag And Sorcery here, but refuse to release some more worthy (and obviously more profitable) games. What's the point?

This "curation" thing has gone way too far.

So, GOG rejected an XSEED title. Why?

We need more XSEED; it's people like them that actually release proper games to GOG with all the bells and whistles. Why? Just let them bring in their games!

I see people bring up Daikatana, but the better example would be Bloodrayne Betrayal. Adding it despite not everyone liking it to say it politely made some sense; to complete the series on GOG. Why can't people complete the Wizardry series? Why potentially drive XSEED away from you? Just look at the Twitter feed and the responses...
