Memecchi: That's a weird headcanon, you know agreements are a thing, right? if the publisher offered a spring release, that's what GOG is getting, nothing is left up in the air or under conditions, spring means spring
Don't tell me what good business practices are.
Tell it to the developers of a shitload of games on my GOG wishlist.
Especially those "
My Time at Sandrock" developers please, who announced a GOG release to occur September 2023, then two months later told people on Steam they never had plans for a GOG release (they had already handed out GOG keys to streamers by that point). The game is still in the GOG catalog, the game will likely never get here.
Koch Media, Deep Silver, Plaion or whatever they're calling themselves nowadays have an even worse track record for business practices reaching back to the beginning of the century. They threw "Gothic 3" and "The Fall: Last Days of Gaia" on the market in alpha states and burned me crisp with both. Once they took over publishing of Kingdom Come 1, the very first thing they did was to
weasel out of each and every physical Kickstarter backer reward in one way or another. And
once they took over the physical release of Broken Sword 5, they sent backers a "DRM free" game DVD that required a Steam account, that's the folks we're talking about here.
king_kunat: We're actually aiming to have it available here just over a month after the initial release! So this one really is "coming soon" :)
I really hope you're right. And I promise not to gloat if you're not.
Now, about the "My time at Sandrock" and the "The Devil's Playhouse" situations ...
