Vainamoinen: It's worse than you might think. Daedalic is putting this game on the cover CD of a gaming magazine (tied to Germany's most despised tabloid, no less), and it's available on release day with the magazine at 9.99 €.

Of course, that cover CD version is tied to Steam.

However, Steam and retail versions are in all probablity at the known price tag of 29.99 € – that would in no way be a bad price for a great adventure game, but reeks foul after selling the game off for one third the price at initial release.

As to DRM free – who knows whether Daedalic's new owner Bastei Lübbe even lets them distribute on GOG,
and if they do, at what point in time after the release they deem it appropriate;
and when they do, whether they'd rather reserve the German voiceover for Steam folks.

As always, regional pricing will ensure that only German speaking folks will get the brunt of Daedalic's deeply unfair kamikaze marketing.

Vainamoinen: They have already said in a German interview that there will eventually be a DRM free version on disc as well as online.

Anyway, it should have been "day one"... :(

7upMan: And shame on Bastei Lübbe that they decided to get into bed with the Springer Verlag. Shame on them, hope they'll contract some ugly disease. >:-(

Ingsoc85: They release it on the Humble Store DRM free, so it wasn't the problem. I assume it will eventually release on GOG - I just don't see why it should take so much time.
