dgnfly: Just shows how childish and selfish those users are,.They only care about what they want, they could care less what the other people want. They make it seem they need to pay for the game while we ''the actual fans' of those games'' are paying for it. I'm for a non-curated storefront that way people can just choose with their wallet and they could just make a section with games ranked low by users.
I laugh how people say that they don't want gog to be a toxic community like the steam one AND YET they are the ones making it toxic in the first place!
PookaMustard: I still see people saying stuff like "you wouldn't buy it here anyway" or such crap.
It's like Ancient-Red-Dragon here said. It's more a matter of bad decision after bad decision. It's less to do with the game and more with GOG in general. People have an interest in getting games off GOG; signified by the fact that at least a couple people will be asking if a game is available on GOG and then awaiting an answer from the publisher/developer. The more they find out a particular game is rejected, the more they'll go *somewhere else.* Hey Steam, hey Epic.
I would love to see more Japanese bullet hell games here, but I can't really encourage any developers/publishers to drop their games when it is said that
DoDonPachi was rejected. Look where you can buy the game now. Wait for it...Steam. Yes, I would totally love buying the DRM'd version because GOG rejected to offer it DRM-free? How does that even work? I imagine that if more Japanese titles were accepted, we'd have more people interested in Japanese games and more sales for them, if GOG thinks that the new Wizardry is too niche or something.
GOG, you started the fckdrm initiative thingy. Least you could do is push it a little further. What other DRM-free storefront do we have with a good standing that can attract devs? Stop shooting yourself in the foot. Loosen up. We can't always expect Opus Magnum articles to keep you sane.
Even if you ignore Wizardry, that's XSEED. A publisher who takes their time to offer robust version parity on here, even though they could just drop their games here and call it a day and never get back to it again, like Devolver Digital, which you happily accept games from. You should at least put them on the same pedestal as Devolver if not the highest pedestals XSEED rightfully deserves...
You can afford losing a few PLN by hosting and maintaining a game (which you can make it back by the way if the curation wasn't bonkers), but you can't afford losing reputation from both devs and customers; reputation that Epic can and will capitalize on, by the way.
So damn true. I grew up with a lot of genres and danmaku was one of my favourite of all the times, couch co-op was a blast too!
Since in the latest years I'm consuming more japanese media than western, it's sad to see so few games here, and the ones being here are either older builds (see neptunia) or not curated as the steam counterpart.
So i'm now forced to buy the game outside of GOG thanks for GOG itself.
