So, this in not a confirmation but since we often saw someone posting "dev x wants to bring his game to GOG" then I guess it's ok to post it here.

I wrote to Big FInish Games about old Access Software games (after they released 'Links' series here) and they said they are "certainly going to look into bringing these titles to GOG" and that "it has been an item on our wish list for a while now as well".

I asked about Crime Wave, Countdown and Amazon Guardians of Eden.

And what about the other Links Titles? Are in their hands? Or the rest are just property of Microsoft?.
Obviously I am not sure, But I ask the question because It could be that the previous LS games prior to the 1998 version and at least one version later could be licensed by Big Finish Games.

I have no idea, I asked them about the games I mentioned.

Thank you for taking the time to ask them about it.
I'd love to have the other Access adventure games here.
Countdown in particular (despite being a mediocre adventure game) holds a very special place in my heart. When I first saw the game running in a friend's PC I was completely mesmerized by its digitized graphics and voices. Having only played the old Sierra EGA games I could never imagine that such graphics could be possible in a PC game.
And its first scenario (in a Trukish mental asylum if I'm not mistaken) still puts many horror games to shame with its creepy setting.

Eventually we'd like to release TT at least on GOG, but we really cannot promise anything right now. We'd need to integrate GOG user systems with our multiplayer framework and properly develop our own multiplayer account systems, because for now we have mockup for private usage. This requires quite a bit of work, and unfortunately for now we have other responsibilities and our work on TT is focused on bugfixing.

(answer on my question, if Zephon will be released on GOG):


Not sure yet! Their distribution system has historically been non-automizabile and kinda wonky. Will look at it closer to release.

The tweet seems highly suspect to me. GOG banned Agony Unrated for being AO.

And why would they not release Succubus AO on Steam, yet GOG will allow it all of a sudden?

That would be sensational, given GOG's reluctance to release any AO games.
I'm more interested in what it means about GOG's new policies than the game itself.

They already released three titles.

https://www.gog.com/game/leisure_suit_larry_magna_cum_laude_uncut_and_uncensored

https://www.gog.com/game/fahrenheit_indigo_prophecy

Although all three of those games would probably be rated M today.

Agony on the other hand seems to be borderline porn through and through

LOL, dude... Do you even do a second of research before you knee-jerk react and comment? That's the developers twitter...

And it's been a while since Agony released, and obviously things can and do change. You know after this you might see Agony show up at some point. Succubus however, is a far more ambitious and a just a better game than Agony was, so that might have something to do with it also. It's just going to appeal to more far players.

Anyways, this is good news. I'm certainly not in favor of GOG opening the flood gates like Steam did, because we all know what Steam is like now, but I'm definitely in favor of certain AO games show up on GOG uncensored, and Succubus would be one of those games.

It also probably helps that the development studio of Succubus is based in Poland.

Be sure to show up and support this release if you want a more open (but hopefully still heavily curated) stance on uncensored titles from GOG in the future. This is actually a pretty fun game, and it'll definitely be a day one buy from me on GOG!

It being the developer's twitter doesn't automatically make the statement be true, contrary to the implication of the first line of that quoted post.

Not to mention the fact that these devs have a proven history of lying about other things. I.e. first they said Agony wasn't going to be censored at all, but then they released a censored version of it.

Then they initially falsely claimed that the censored version which they released wasn't censored, even though it was, in fact, heavily censored, in many different ways.

Later they released "Agony Unrated" which apparently corrected the censorship issues at long last...but that doesn't erase the devs' shady history of having lied about those matters before that point.

And Agony Unrated also apparently improved most of the other issues that the original censored release of Agony had...yet Agony Unrated was also banned by GOG anyway. Therefore, the argument that Agony Unrated was allegedly rejected by GOG due to being poor quality, rather than due to it's AO rating, yet Succubus AO was apparently accepted by GOG because it is of good quality, that logic doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

And why would Succubus be the first hardcore AO game that GOG releases, when they refused to respond to the Subverse devs' request to put their game on GOG just a couple of months ago? That doesn't add up either.

GOG is suddenly going to break their long-standing history of banning AO games, and start allowing AO games onto its store, totally out of the blue?

And with no public announcement about this major policy change?

I'll believe that when I see it. Until then, I highly doubt it would actually happen. Smells like BS to me.

I really don't even want to give you a response, but this will be the one and only time. Simply put, you're a negativity spreader. You knee-jerk respond without even thinking, and just go straight into the negativity mode. You're like a forum cancer, and in my opinion a complete joke. I'm wondering what happened to you in your life to make you so jaded... Did some woman step all over you or something with you on your hands and knees, or leave you for another man? You a man-child, or just an edgy and rebellious jaded teen? Just a tip for you, but people generally don't like to be around some who acts like you. Negativity is contagious, and you'd be looked at as unhealthy to be around.

Agony had issues, because the studio was forced to do things at the time in regards to the game. Unfortunately, having console releases funded, the need for a publisher and them having contractual control over certain things within the game made it so an AO uncensored version on PC wasn't possible from the beginning. It would require a whole new release on PC.

An unrated version that was self published by the Studio did get released however, and it was given to everyone who owned the base game for free, or it might have been 99 cents actually because of Steam rules at the time. Don't remember. They weren't going to make that mistake again, and learned from it.

You're like the asshole who doesn't let anyone make a mistake, and will never let them hear the end of it if they do. You must be the only person in this world who's perfect, huh?

I never made an argument that GOG rejected Agony for quality reasons. I only suggested that could be one of possivbly many reasons. I have no idea why it was rejected or not, it could have just been rejected because of the game it was at the time. But as with anything, things can and do change.

As for Subverse, I personally wouldn't have been objecting to it being released here, because it was a high profile and large budget adult game, but for whatever reason GOG decided they didn't want the game here. Maybe because the game was too focused on the pornographic aspect, maybe because it was too "hentai" for them, or maybe they just don't like StudioFOW, like a lot of major studios don't. GOG can refuse any game for whatever reason they want, and I'll stand by GOG on it because that's what I signed up for when I created an account here. I accept their curation, even if I don't always agree with it, and I don't want to see GOG turn into the shit show that is now Steam.

But are you actually suggesting that there's no difference between StudioFOW and Madmind Studio? Or even that there's no difference between Subverse and Succubus? I'm sure it's hard for you, but don't be stupid.

Madmind Studio is comprised of vetern game developers who've worked on AAA titles in the past. StudioFOW is comprised of degenerates who made hentai animations of copyrighted videogame girls getting gang raped by humanoids, monsters, beasts, etc.

Let me remind you - You're also the guy who at one point was arguing that things like Cyberpunk and The Witcher are the same thing as hardcore porn. Which is completely moronic, and a clear sign you're completely out of touch with reality.
