In the forum for The Escapists I asked if GOG would ever get the DLC. One helpful user contacted the publisher, and was told that there are no official plans to bring any of the DLC here.

If you don't want to be treated as a second-class customer, then I recommend avoiding this one. It's a shame that this is even allowed to happen, honestly.

EDIT: By the way, here's a wishlist entry about the issue of games with missing DLC on GOG:
https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/make_sure_all_dlc_for_each_game_is_made_available_to_purchase

EDIT 2: I've corrected this post. Originally I had written that the developers had been contacted, which was a mistake on my part. It was actually the publisher that was contacted.

EDIT 3: JudasIscariot has now told us that the DLC for The Escapists will be here as soon as possible.

What a bunch of turd...
Well that's fucked up.
And another indie dev gets on my personal "Don't give them money" list.
What a shame, I heard a lot of good things about the game.
Thanks for the warning Marioface5.
The Escapists is a great game, but (at least the gog version, i didn't check any other) is broken by a huge bug, already reported ages ago, reported by team17 to the devs, and which nobody seems to intend to fix.

So, yeah, despite of all my love for that game (well, the couple of fully functionnal levels i've played), I have to also advise to avoid it.

Not respectable practices.

Update edit :
Old post, but can't be let in its state. A new version arrived along with the DLC, and the game-breaking bug has been finally fixed. So, back to advising to buy this game, which now works 100%, and is, by itself, completely excellent.

Wasn't gonna buy it anyway .
Thanks for the info, it was on my wishlist but has dropped right off now.
No longer in my wishlist then!
Thanks for the heads up Marioface!
That sucks, but did they explain why? If it's because they haven't sold much on here, then I can't really blame them...
Vicious circle?
That's sad to read, especially since the game seems awesome and it was on my to-buy-soon list already.
Well, off the wishlist it goes; they have lost a (potential) customer, as I won't buy the game anywhere else -I hate discrimination.
...

Gog, can you please write in your contracts that all DLC\extras available elsewhere must be added here too? (and on time)

Thanks

No problem; I still can't get my ass through the tutorial.

You know as someone who has IRL escaped from many maximum security prisons I should tell you that The Escapist is both unbalanced and unrealistically difficult.

Shit, the easiest mission on that game makes the time I dug out of San Quentin Death Row look like a cakewalk!

Did your donkeys close you in their stables? :O

I hope GOG will refuse to sell any future games made from them. Such a shame.
