So, apparently gog rejected the winter wolves games to be sold in here, saying that they're not a good fit.

How come? They're all good games, many of them are RPG's and I believe they would sell well here. Would you buy a game from winter wolves?

Why not?
Dating sims are kind of a niche genre so I can understand why they got rejected.

Does GOG even carry any dating sims?
I played Planet Stronghold, and it's pretty good. Still, their games seem to be kinda... Overpriced .


I got PS in a bundle, I never would've paid 17.99 euros for it (and that's just the standard version, apparently they sell "bonus" editions for extra money) .

Hatoful Boyfriend
Well I suppose you could argue that GOG doesn't have any games even remotely like those here. But then that's actually a pretty good reason to change that. These types of games do seem to be increasing in popularity, so while they might not fly off the digital shelves initially, they could still do well enough in the long run to warrant inclusion.

I agree. I own every single Winter Wolves game they have released on steam, and would buy every single Winter Wolves game if they'd be in gog. I honestly don't understand the reason not to sell them.

This.

It's unimaginable that they let a game like Hatoful Boyfriend through but not the Winter Wolves collection. Those are good games.
Personally I am not interested in dating sims, but if we have the pigeon dating game here then I see no reason to exclude Loren the Amazon Princess, which offers RPG gameplay and has got pretty positive reviews from what I can see.

Hatoful Boyfriend is published by Digital Devolver, which probably has a lot to do with why the game is on GOG.

That they'll release games that they don't consider 'a good fit' as long as it gets them other games they want on the store?

That and they already have an agreement/contract with the publisher. They have no agreement with Winter Wolves
I liked Planet Stronghold and Loren, both are pretty solid RPGs.
I haven't really played any of their dating sims or visual novels, but since there are already games like Long Live the Queen and Hatoful Boyfriend here, I don't see why Winter Wolves games shouldn't be accepted here.
Here is the wishlist link for Loren the Amazon Princess, which I think would be the best fit for GOG, so add your votes.
Not sure about Loren game but I wouldn't want novels and dating sims cluttering GoG.
