The unfortunate fact is probably that for many it is.. Most of the games that have been dropped / pulled so far seem to be more obscure less selling ones. They maybe only sold a few dozen copies and that's why they didn't bother keeping it up to date.

GOG is growing, but I'd say the core audience is still interested in certain types of games and genres and these oddball indie games just don't sell well. Plus GOG gets a reputation for these kind of games not being updated too so many people probably buy them on Steam just in case... so the outlook and sales here for such games is probably not great, and if the dev doesn't have a particular reason to want to sell here or a commitment to DRM free then they won't.

Actually... that would be the only way to make my backlog smaller...

Yes, it is worrying makes one wonder what game is next and this seem to always happen during sales for some reason. I still think it's better in the long run that GOG make demands and I prefer to know what I buy here is not missing content and is up to date when there are updates on other stores.

What an unfortunate wording choice.

Hey, Lifthrasil ripped me off! :P

Either that or way more people have me on JerkMuter than I thought. :D

Wow, I just read the title & felt lucky I used gogrepo.py last night :)

Does anyone know how far behind in terms of updates the latest GOG version of "Everything" was, compared to the latest version available on Steam? Also, are there any new significant updates/expansions in the pipeline?

What a shame!
I loved those tumbling elephants.
Didn't buy the game yet, because the system requirements seem to be too high for my old machine.

Maybe we could get this game instead?
The Sea Will Claim Everything - GOG.com

As I said - for what it's worth - GOG version is listed as 1.06.01
The DRM-Free build on itch.io is listed as "Version 2"
No idea what version Steam is at
EDIT - as far as I can tell Steam is at 1.06

SO WHAT'S THE DEAL - unless it's an upcoming version that is going to be released and unsupported - or Steam / the dev isn't posting all update information??

No fricking clue what's going on

At least it doesn't seem impossible, as the GOG version apparently did get at least two updates last year, judging by this:

https://www.gog.com/forum/everything/changelog/page1

So 1.05.02 and 1.06 appeared to GOG, but then nothing. And those two updates even came quite soon to GOG after release, so there didn't seem to be a big delay either. Seems to me just that the developer lost interest in keeping the game up to date on GOG, rather than that it would be so hard.

It seems the game has DRM-free downloadable versions also on itch.io and humblebundle.com. I wonder if they are kept up to date either? I presume not.


Good thing GOG is now delisting some of these games. Not sure how GOG finds it out, do they poll the publishers for all the (pretty recent) games whether there are missing updates?

Nice joke

Good catch:

How did you find that out? I tried to see what the Steam version is, but I didn't see the version number on the store page.

I checked also the link behind "View Update History", but it wasn't a changelog, it was more like announcements and news from the developer. I didn't clearly see from it either, what was the last update for the Steam version.

I recall easily seeing the version number for some other Steam games on the store page, but not for this game for some reason.

LOL at first I thought it was a joke or a warning that they were doing some sort of backend work and for a short time you wouldn't be able to search / buy games.

Totally didn't realize there was a game called everything.
