If a reputed dev like doublefine cant update stuff here i fear the worst

That's why I said as far as I can tell... as the only update post regarding updating the version of the game was one for 1.06. Also combed the game forums but couldn't spot anything relevant.

I can't wrap my head around this:

gOg: "The game is going bye-bye because the developer will not be keeping up version parity compared to other stores."

Customer: "Aw, maaaan! Why did I not get more warning so I could buy this game that I KNOW will not be receiving needed updates on gOg?!?"

Uh, you might want to clarify that thread title a bit LOL. :P

Unless of course you're this guy:

Neither did this game. As was as I can tell, the GOG version did receive two updates in 2017, and even quite soon afterwards. As far as I can tell, the game was released in April 2017, and the GOG version apparently got two updates, one already in April, and another in May.

Also, not anymore sure if the GOG version was really missing any updates, at least yet... (the reports that the Steam version would be 1.06, which is what the GOG versions was too AFAIK) Was this some kind of pre-emptive delisting?

I like Doublefine, but they have had a history of sort of "flaking" on titles.

I didn't realize Everything was one of their games - what's the gist of it?

Which is exactly why I think people should stop whining about GOG declining some (indie) games from their store. Maybe GOG knows something that those whiners don't know, like the game would not sell well enough on GOG, the developer would probably lose interest keeping the GOG version up to date etc.

I am happy GOG is proactive, both in deciding what to allow to the store, and also now "tidying up" the store. Not sure about this game particularly, though...

Unfortunately I think Galaxy is the issue - see the following posting by a dev regarding this;

Ok, so we don't know for sure. I think 1.06 came already over a year ago, so it would mean the Steam version wouldn't have been updated for over a year now.

I guess only someone who has the game on Steam can tell for sure.

The one with the somersaulting elephants.

This is another disappointment. I'm glad unfinished and lesser versions are being delisted. But are developers trying to make a statement about the community's whining? "You'll take what you get or get nothing!" Or is GOG holding peoples' feet to the fire and getting this as a result on particular games with poor sales? "That game isn't selling enough to take the time to update it. Just pull it if it means so much to you!"


I wonder which situation (or if there's another) we're in?

Shit, the post title caused me a panic attack... XD

To be fair, the natural result of putting GoG to the task of making sure games remain up to date and feature-rich, assuming GoG starts following through, means some games will get dropped like this...

Personally, I find this to be an encouraging sign that GoG is beginning to act on the community's valid complaints concerning games with missing updates and features. While it's sad to see games go away, I think a bit of thanks are in order to GoG for finally acting on our concerns.

In short...
Thank you GoG for following up and taking our concerns seriously.
And thank you for keeping us up to date on your catalog changes.

This thread will go down in GOG history. :P

Can you guys give us 1-2 days start before the game will be pulled from here and not 1 hour or less? I am sure some of us would like to buy something *looking at Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth missed opportunity*. -.-
