Left a message on their Facebook page - not willing to provide GOG owners with Steam keys either...
Hi Steve, Steam has some exclusive features but we're unable to provide new keys to GOG owners I'm afraid. Human: Fall Flat should still run correctly on PC but let us know if you have any trouble.
Pretty poor form IMO.

SirPrimalform: I tweeted the dev to maybe hear their side of the story. It's always good to get both sides, and it's possible something specific to GOG was making it hard for them to update the game.

Lucian_Galca: This right here, i'd be very interested to know the detailed specific differences of updating on GOG compared to Steam. I suspect GOG is still lacking in this area in some ways.
I am pretty sure it is more about not wanting to the "same work" twice, ie. update it on more than one platform (ie. Steam).

On Humble Store the downloadable DRM-free versions are even more often lacking updates, than the GOG versions. I don't think that is either about it being so mind-bogglingly hard to upload an updated build to Humble, but that the developer simply couldn't be arsed to keep it up to date.

Naturally I feel the developers and publishers should think ahead. They should decide already before releasing the game on non-Steam platforms (like GOG) whether they are going to update the non-Steam versions. If not, then they should only release it on Steam.

Then again, this is not quite black and white. For instance, I couldn't care less if the GOG version is lacking achievements from the Steam versions, but with some GOG game some people apparently wanted refunds because of it (lacking achievements).

elcook: Despite their best efforts, the developers behind the game will not be able to maintain update parity between GOG and other platforms.
Translation: We got your money from those all important first week buys, but now we can't be fucked to update our own game! Absolute scumbag developer.

blotunga: At some point developers switch to other projects. Then the game shouldn't receive too many updates thus it would be risk-free to release here.

kohlrak: Yeah, but if it's really that much of a hassle, it means if they do release here again, we can't expect bugfixes. That would be too much of a hassle..
Usually when games are done, they don't need any more bugfixes. Games on GOG used to be liked that, before the indie floodgates opened.

Might be that without those "indie floodgates" GOG would already be dead in the water. Also not every indie dev is a scumbag and does not support their game. I know quite a few that are awesome people both personally and regarding supporting their games.

I didn't say there weren't good indies but even on GOG there are some that I wonder how they got here. Anyway what I meant is that in the past GOG games didn't really needed much updating. Now players demanding day 1 games, opened up a whole new can of worms.

I think they're referring to the pawn issue in GOG's version.
I support this decision.

and i think it's specific to the pawn 'sharing' feature. not sure but from what i understand it doesnt affect the game when played with your own pawns built locally, tho i could be wrong.

You're not wrong. I payed it without using the share feature and had no issues.

Ah - thanks for the clarification. Yes - those classics did not need to be updated anymore once you were able to get them to run on a modern OS (or rather several modern OS).

Gone already? Damn that was fast. I wish you could notify us 2-3 days before games get removed if possible.
