Lack of proper communication is an issue they've always had, going way back to the shutdown hoax of 2010. A lot of people would say though that good communication between GOG and the community really took a nosedive after TheEnigmanticT (their head of marketing) left a couple of years ago.

The game wasn't exactly good, but I would have picked it up eventually.
Another sad day to be a Gog. fan.

P.s.
Gog, Talk to us!
It's called public relations and it's not a bad thing.

I wonder why there are no official statements regarding this. First the Superfrog games, now this. I know hat sometimes they have to take the games down immediatelly, but a post-hoc thread would be nice.

I guess I wasn't as active on gog back then so I didn't notice.

Such stealth moves may well be covered with the dirty fingerprints of lawyers/attorneys. I suppose the IP holder went into bankrupcy at some point, and the portfolio / assets got sold. Then one can imagine that the distribution contract got broken or resolved, with immediate effect, and with a command not to communicate on it or to disclose any détails. It's possible this means a new contract is being discussed, or that the asset is frozen and in the limbos...

But I agree that at the very least GOG should publish a notice indicating that the game is not available anymore.

was it ever discounted?

No.
Was here from June 23, 2015 to June 6, 2016; no discounts.

i guess it will be soon re-released by night dive for 15$ on gog

Shit, I didn't even know that the Superfrog titles had been pulled. Got them both, but still sucks. Didn't care about this game, but nevetheless GOG seems to be haemorrhaging titles lately. Perhaps it's purely perceptual, but it doesn't feel good.

I had this game in my wishlist for so long... Nooo!!! Why no notice GOG!??

It's a shame they haven't gotten anyone else to have that kind of presence in the community anymore, yeah.

What are you stupid!? Can you imagine what would happen if the Russians found out about this!?

"Hey guys, I wish I hadn't to say this but we've had to pull Simon 4 from the store because [ Insert reason here. Probably lawyers] . Sorry that we couldn't tell you in advance, the court order was considered in effect as soon as the lawyer carrying it set foot in the sidewalk in front of our building i.e. before we were even served."

(Version 2 of this post includes blue font CSS. Alternative version 2 also mentions attempted negotiations with the IP's new owners.)

See GOG? It isn't that hard... I bet most roadkill beavers can manage that much!
