Someone is being an asshole again, downvoting for no good reason.

Don't quite a few people have to downvote before it actually says 'low rated'?
I don't see anything btw. Maybe someone noticed lol.

Not necessarily. Some people have multiple accounts for just that reason. Oh well.

I keep hoping for Outland sometime soon. I have it on 360 and I want a PC copy, but if I'm going to buy another copy I want it free of all that icky stuff.
I'm surprised Aquaria isn't here yet.
I tweeted Jools Watsham, the developer of Xeodrifter:

Me: "Any chance of Xeodrifter getting a #DRMfree GOG.com release?"

Dev: "Are you not a fan of Steam? :)"

Me: "Not exactly. Is that a no? ;)"

Dev: We might do, yeah. What is your beef with Steam? Just curious.

Me: It's not really beef per se, I just prefer to buy DRM-free when I can.

Dev: "That's cool. Still curious though, why DRM-free over Steam? I really like Steam, so just wondering what's the appeal 4 you?"

Me: "Freedom. Once I've purchased a game, I'd prefer not to be tied to a client and whatever restrictions that entails."

tfishell: "It'd just be nice to have a version not locked to Steam & DRM-free. :)"

Dev: "Sure, I understand that. I am trying to understand what Steam restrictions make DRM-free easier than using Steam?"

Me: "Steam’s offline mode is notoriously problematic. If service goes down or you're someplace sans internet you're SOL."

Me: "I've experienced technical problems w/ Steam games & had to fend 4 myself. GOG handles technical support themselves."

P.S. If you happen to have a Twitter account, please chime in to show that I'm not alone in wanting a DRM-free version.

Ganni1987: Voted them all, just because I'm not highly interested in one doesn't mean everybody else isn't.
Voted for all of them for the same reason as Ganni. Nice to show the soundtracks, reviews and trailers for each game whenever available. Hope they will come to GOG.
I tweeted Housemarque, the developer of Outland:

"Is there any chance you could release #Outland #DRMfree on GOG.com?"

They responded:

"there are :)"

One of the developers of Aquaria just posted the following:

"Will it happen? Who knooooooows :) gog.com/wishlist/games/aquaria"

"Just like Portal 2, Vessel is about a universally recommended game as can exist. It's charming, entertaining, stimulating, and a hell of an experience for the price point." - Machinima
1UP's review of Outland
Even if I bought Aquaria long time ago, +1 for it. :)
It's great game that should be here. It's even going to have "Something like a sequel mod" that is created by few modders/coders/Aquaria fans.
In light of the developer's tease, I'm hoping we'll get Aquaria as soon as this week.
