On a practical note – the issue of hotseat has been debated for a long time in the community, and it's just not feasible in a game like Gremlins, Inc. which has tons of interactions at every round, and where keeping your cards secret is a must – in parallel with being able to always look at the playing field in order not to miss the strategy of the opponents. If we were to design a hotseat mode, we would have to modify the mechanics as well, creating a special deck that would have cards and misfortunes with the high interaction level removed, as well as modify UI, insert a bunch of "make the others look away" screens, etc. You can check Steam forums for a couple of threads where people with 100+ hours in the game weigh in.

On a more general note – for sure, there are endless opportunities to develop a software product. For example, we could have done a mobile version. Or – based on a number of recent requests – a version for Nintendo Switch. Or – based on the massive feedback from the Chinese community – to make a new China-themed DLC. But we're not going to pursue those features because we made a choice to prioritise other aspects of how we want to grow the game. For sure, we're reading comments here just like we're reading comments everywhere else, and it all adds up tot he internal discussion.
That is not supported by the actual data.

We're looking at roughly 15% attachment rate to the DLCs, and in this regard sales on GOG show exactly the same correlation between the main product and the DLCs, as sales on Steam.

With all the differences in how community communicates, the main game/DLC sales ratio on GOG and on Steam is the same.

We're far from advising anyone on what they should "want" or whether they should "ignore" anything that matters to them. However, as a dev team, we make our own choices on which features to focus on, based on what will have the biggest positive impact on the player experience of the overall community.

We've got no plans to port the game to Switch for the same reason why we've got no plans to invest time in making Gremlins, Inc. DLCs compatible with Gremlins vs Automatons or to develop a hotseat mode: in our estimate, the dev time is best invested into other features.

If for you the unsupported features are a priority, then you should not buy our game, as simple as that. The description of the game on the store page lists only the supported features and does not promise anything that we have not delivered. If you spot any inconsistency in those descriptions, please feel free to suggest amends and we're happy to review those.

You are responding to my comment that is addressed to another person.

You are injecting yourself into the conversation, even though you were not mentioned.

So I'll go ahead and start a new conversation here:

* You bought the game and all DLCs on Steam.
* The same game released on GOG, 1:1 minus Steam Marketplace and Item Store functionalities.
* You bought exactly the same game and all DLCs on GOG.
* You are now asking for a refund.
* You are asking for a developer-initiated refund, which means the game is not refundable under the regular policy of these platforms.

Please explain the context here?

Let me clarify, please:

1. You own Gremlins, Inc. on Steam.

2. In March 2017, we released Gremlins vs Automatons (the "offline version") on Steam to all owners of Gremlins, Inc. – including you.

3. In May 2017, we released exactly the same product Gremlins vs Automatons on GOG, as well as the original Gremlins, Inc.

4. Following that you bought Gremlins, Inc. (with Gremlins vs Automatons included) again, on GOG.

So you already owned Gremlins vs Automatons in your Steam library for 60 days; you did not launch it, you did not check it, you just bought it again on GOG (?!?); and only after buying it for the second time on GOG (?), did you actually run the game and discover that the offline edition has "many features crippled out" – to be exact, Workshop (which needs to connect to server to get the mods); Marketplace (which needs Steam connection); in-game item grants (which needs to connect to server); and multiplayer mode (which needs server to connect with other players).

Is this the correct summary of the events leading up to your request to refund the copy you bought on Steam, which you post here on GOG forum that discusses the release of the game on GOG?

1. You bought Gremlins, Inc. on Steam.

2. You bought three character DLCs for Gremlins, Inc. on Steam.

3. In March 2017 we released the offline companion product Gremlins vs Automatons, which you received on Steam for free.

4. The DLCs for Gremlins, Inc. were not intended to work with Gremlins vs Automatons. You had 60 days to play the offline edition on Steam, but you did not do it. You also did not check whether the character DLCs that you own, work with Gremlins vs Automatons – and you did not post any questions about this on Steam forums.

5. Earlier this week, you went ahead and bought the same game, Gremlins, Inc., on GOG, as well as all DLCs, which you already owned on Steam, without running Gremlins vs Automatons even once on Steam.

6. You now want a refund on the Steam version, which you ask here on GOG.

I'm sorry but I find this pretty confusing.
