This is the second time I see "Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth" on sale on another platform (in this case WingameStore )
much cheaper than it is on sale on GOG. The last time was the Wintersale and I even told GOG about that (it was 7 Euro price difference anyway. I waited until the last day of GOG Wintersale but the price stayed so I did not buy.

Daedalic seems to like bringing games to GOG but other than that ....

It took me months until they finally sent GOG the patch for Blackguards which fixed a game breaking bug.

The German gamers still are waiting for the ORIGINAL German versions of "Chains of Satinav" and "Memoria". GOG months or even years ago told us that we should wait ... well, we still do. Both games are multi language and DRM-free available on humble store for years now and they are often on sale. Why should I buy them here instead? Then a user tried to contact the CEO of Daedalic Carsten Fichtelmann and he wanted to explain and clear everything up ... all that happened was that he did not say anything anymore. I will try to contact him again but seeing how Daedalic (which btw. is company from my home town) is treating the GOG customer really makes me angry.

I really like their games and I loved them in their early days. These things however are showing me that they don't really care about GOG at all. Given that even with their first retail game (Edna bricht aus / Edna & Harvey: The breakout) they did not want DRM in it I really don't understand why they do trat a DRM-free platform different than Steam.

i agree with what you're saying but what can we do. deponia-x3 have issues. book of unwritten tales x3 have issues. i could go on. and also i want to buy games drm-free but steam is cheaper. there's nothing that can be done unfortunately. tried devs, gog, forums. no-one cares.

I don't know the details so I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Daedalic is (sadly) no longer run by the people who started it way back when with Edna & Harvey.

That's a real shame. And it seems Daedalic is not the only one who don't care about GOG customers or prices on GOG platform.
Personally the price difference is not that much of a problem, simply because I'm not really interested in that specific game. But that the German versions of "The Dark Eye"-adventures are still not on gog.com, is a shame, at least for me.

Yeah well - I would have bought them along time ago, if they were in German. *shrug*. Friends of me (who know the RPG system) too. The Dark Eye in English? No way.

Book of Unwritten Tales is not from Daedalic.

What's wrong with Deponia?
Book of unwritten Tales is not from Daedalic - so that's another thing.

You are more or less right about this but CEO still is Carsten Fichtelmann and the very least I expect is that he keeps his promise and gives us an explanation.

Take a look on this list:
https://www.gog.com/mix/games_that_treat_gog_customers_as_second_class_citizens

It happens with more games. Seems there are companies around who don't like GoG. Have to think twice and first look around before buying on gog.

They don't really care about anything, not just GoG. After completey breaking the Deponia 1-3 audio with the latest patch they refuse to fix it with another patch. I complained to them about this in their forum and they just didn't give a shit.

A friend of mine works in a call center and he said that one day they received a plastic bag with what they think was dog poo and a note which said stop sending me this (in relation to advertising sent through the post). Unfortunately there was no name so they couldn't.

They completely broke audio on Deponia?

Every single line of speech has the first syllable missing or starts with a clicking sound since the last update.

Well i just assumed since daedalic wasn't the only one refusing to support their games i could give a fairly broad list. Depending on what range of issues you're willing to include, deponia classic inventory (the non mouse wheel mode) randomly vanishes. The localisation feels as if they weren't trying. never heard such poor English in a game and the localisation generally feels lost in translation. Songs, speech and jokes. I do have other daedalic games like blackguards but havent played them yet. Can't remember anything else from deponia
