i ask deadalic on Eastern (wrote a email=),but i didn`t become a answer.(sry,for my bad english,i hope you understand it,i learn it new.)

Ich würde es mir wünschen,dass die Updates er neuen deutsche Games immer gleich veröffentlich wird und nicht als Bundle,so kommt man schneller auf den Geschmack auf das Game,ich habe auch ein paar Spiele die noch auf Englisch sind,würde die aber sofort spielen,wenn die auf Deutsch kommen.

I can assure you that I never have been unpolite or even rude to anyone I contacted but I also tend to demand at least a bit especially if I don't get any answer or the process of answering my question is taking unusualy long. In this specific case I bought both games as retail versions (being steam only at this time) so I am not really that affected myself but I still think that Daedalic could and should at least answer a simple question:

"Are there still any - maybe legal - reasons that only GOG did not receive the update for the German version of both Satinav and Memoria? In other words: is there still something that prevents Daedalic to provide those updates to GOG as well?".

As I also said there once was the problem that the dub was made by deep silver but at this time there was not even a DRM-free version of the game at all. Afair the first DRM-free version of the game was released here on GOG - but in English only. Maybe there once was a problem and maybe in the meantime it is not there anymore and Daedalic has not offered it to GOG yet because they simply had forgotten that GOG once only received the English version of the game. I absolutely understand why GOG does not want to ask them again (Judas already explained this and from a business point of few I can absolutely understand) but I would really like to have an answer to the question above by asking them by myself.

Greetings,

i have a question. How exactly do you Need to get your german Versions of the games? Just wonder, because there are some sites online, that have some older german adventures for download. However... i have the Feeling, that not all of them would Count as Abandon games.
For example, i know a site where you can find/download Space Quest 3, 4 and 5 in german (and some other games too), at least the non talkie Version. SQ 6 was available as german talkie, but ist not on this site. Whatever, would this help you? Could you sell them then as legal Version, even if you found the localisation files at questionalbe sites?

Have a nice day.

There is not really such a thing like an "abandoned game". There may be a moment were some rights are not given and the original rightholders don't use them so they are "on ice" but every game still has a copyright as long as it is not public domain. Legally it would still be a problem if you'd simply download a game which is not public domain or freeware or shareware.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware

"Trotz immer vorhandener Bestrebungen innerhalb der Szene, zu Einigungen mit den Softwarefirmen zu kommen oder Einfluss auf die Gesetzgeber zu nehmen, um aus der Illegalität herauszutreten, wurden solche Pläne bis heute nicht ernsthaft in Angriff genommen, und die Betreiber von Abandonware-Seiten agieren somit weiterhin im Bewusstsein, das Urheberrecht zu verletzen. Umgekehrt gibt es auch durchaus Sympathien einzelner Entwickler für Abandonware-Seiten, da diese dafür sorgen, dass ihre Werke Beachtung finden können und nicht in Vergessenheit geraten."

I am quite sure that GOG would (and should) not accept files from those sites.

Edit: btw: afair I offered GOG my German SQ versions as well but they did not want them. This means there is a legal rights problem with them anyway and even if GOG had the files they could not use and release them. It seems as if all old (former) sierra games are problematic with this.

To bad, but understandable :) Then how does it work? Do you have to get an original version (from an user or ebay or something like that) or do you have to get them from the Publisher or it´s successor, if the company do not exist anymore?

Erst einmal müssen die Rechte geklärt werden, GOG braucht also die Genehmigung der/des Rechteinhaber(s). Dann erst einmal eine Originalversion (z.B. von Usern die noch ein Exemplar haben). Und dann natürlich vieeel Zeit. Daran hat es ja bisher etwas gemangelt.

Wäre super hab mir die BI platinum edition geholt ist leider alles englisch, habe zwar auf cd die deutsche version die lässt sich aber nicht installieren, ebenso WC4 und diverse andere spiele.

About (partly) not so old Sierra games - I have all 3 parts of Gabriel Knight, first two as Gabriel Knight Mysteries box, though I'm not sure if GK1 had German text or not, I don't remember, the voices were definitely English. GK2 is on 6 CDs and completely German. (My English language box of German release of GK2 is on 5 CDs). And finally the normal German GK3 box. If you have the right to publish, but just not the CDs, I could loan them. :-)

I did it already, but I will do it again. Thanks für your reply, keep on the good work and bring us many new games and German versions. :)

Sounds nice!

Hast du das komplette BI Platinum Paket als deutsche CD? Wenn ja, dann melde dich doch mal bitte bei Judas und gib mir kurz Bescheid. Ich habe nämlich nur Teil 3 und wollte ihn Judas in den nächsten Tagen hochladen. Das würde dann aber keinen Sinn ergeben wenn du die bessere Version hättest.
