kai2: The OP was not complaining about GOG's curation.

RWarehall: Was the OP asking GoG to reverse his decision yes or no?
So, you conflate asking with complaining.

rjbuffchix: Please stop calling it "brigading" any time someone makes others aware of a game that you personally don't like. It is not "brigading" when a user learns of a game through a topic like this and makes an independent choice afterward to vote for it on the wishlist.

RWarehall: What else should it be called? Many of the same people who post in this thread, attack any new release they don't like trying to imply it's more "niche" than these other titles.
Ah! Now we are getting somewhere. The problem is that those are two separate things. Making one topic about how GOG should have accepted game X, and then going in other topics to criticize games Y and Z, doesn't invalidate the topic about wanting game X. Someone can genuinely want a game, while also criticizing the acceptance of other games. In this case, I would say it is even likely this happens, because those of us who want more RPGs are beyond tired of the "too niche" excuse which is absurd on its face. I see you invoked my quote from such a topic to "prove" your point. Leaving behind your Tomatometer, which of these sounds more "niche" to you...an open-world game where you can play as a pirate, or a chemistry class simulation. Obviously, GOG was using some other standard besides "is it niche or not" (I just hope they weren't using your inherently flawed standard of "just look at the Scheme reviews").

avatar
RWarehall: I hear the same bad and tired arguments "but it's an RPG so it can't be niche". So if someone makes a Unity clone with stock assets of a popular genre, that should guarantee great sales?
I must have missed the glut of asset-flipped open world 3D pirate RPG games. Could you point me in the direction of any DRM-free ones?

avatar
RWarehall: Quality doesn't matter for sales potential?
Strawman. Quality is not the only factor for sales potential, or at least could be defined more broadly.

avatar
RWarehall: Just about every time someone finds out GoG rejected a game, regardless of its quality, someone starts one of these threads.
Again, you are willfully ignoring the fact that these games are "new" to many of us non-DRM folks. Our honest reaction once finally exposed to it is "wow, that sounds like a cool game, wait, why won't they accept it".

avatar
RWarehall: Every time there is a new release that's even potentially on the edge, they complain about GoG curation (often referencing rejected games that are clearly less popular).
Yes, people do. Because the answers given by GOG are unsatisfactory to them. "Too niche" is obviously a crock.

avatar
RWarehall: Brigading is the right word for it. Weekly threads complaining about rejections. New release threads filled with complaints about curation...
Meanwhile, you seem to have a very dim view of the average GOG user since that's basically saying they get influenced into wishlist voting for the game and can't make up their own minds. Let me guess...all the wishes for Grimoire are because of brigading and people felt peer-pressured. Give me a break.
avatar
RWarehall: Was the OP asking GoG to reverse his decision yes or no?
Oh, another baseless accusation, huh? It seems that someone didn't get LexRust's words at all...

Can I ask you to provide me with MY post, where I said something like: "GOG, I ORDER YOU TO REVERSE YOUR DECISION ABOUT VENDETTA!!!".

Or there is no such post, just like it was with your "make more money for GoG", which you also attributed to me?

Could you please finally stop looking for something in this topic that really is not here?

RWarehall: And frankly, what is the point of this thread again? Oh right, for GoG to reverse their decision on Vendetta...

Brigading is the right word for it. Weekly threads complaining about rejections.
I wonder...would you be complaining about a thread if it was for a game YOU wanted here? I am guessing no(but if i'm wrong feel free to correct me on that).

avatar
RWarehall: New release threads filled with complaints about curation...
Op didn't complain about it, and some others didn't as well....also why does that bother you(when people do it?)?
avatar
RWarehall: And frankly, what is the point of this thread again?
Sigh...

I'm pretty tired of repeating my position over and over, but apparently, I'll have to do it again.

The main point of this topic was and remains the desire to share the information about Vendetta (the game that I like and want to see on GOG), with the hope that the community will also be interested in this game, and maybe it will help to bring the game here.

Honestly, there is absolutely no difference who rejected this release. Even if TopWare Interactive were those who refused to release Vendetta on GOG, this topic would have appeared here anyway, because read the main point sentence one more time.

From the very beginning, I noted that I ask users to vote for this game only it they are interested. This honest approach showed that some users are really interested in Vendetta.

When this topic was created, there were approximately 35 votes for Vendetta in the community wishlist. Now it has 68 votes:
https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/vendetta_curse_of_ravens_cry

Yeah, not so much, but as I said many times before: even if the chance is small, it's still worth a try.

Oh, and something else about all those accusations. If I really acted as you say ("brigading", whatever that means) and used some forbidden tricks, I'm absolutely sure that this game would already have much more votes.

But I'm always for fair play and advise you to play fair too, without any accusations and stuff like that.

There is nothing wrong with the fact that you don't like this game, but please respect the opinions of other people in this topic.

And that's why you feel the need to bump it every time you see 5 more votes on the wishlist? Clearly no intent to brigade or keep this silly thread on the front page for weeks on end...

Again(And I will say it slow so you can take it in more) - Why....does....it....bother....you....so.....much?
If the chances of this thread working are slim why don't you use your time more wisely to do other things?

You are also partially at fault there...you keep bumping it as well.

Personally, I don't see any problems in tracking each "round" number of votes (50, 60, 70, etc.). I think it's related to the subject of this topic, so it's not offtopic.

Moreover, any new post will bump up the topic, regardless of its contents. By the way, many of those "bumps" weren't even made by me, because, as I mentioned earlier, there are users on the forum who are also interested in this game now.

I didn't even KNOW it existed, and thanks to you I now do and can hope it comes here(and if not i'll bite the bullet and maybe buy on steam if need be). :)

Every 10 votes! Seriously? C'mon now...that is completely silly. Of course it's brigading. You and a few people have been bumping this thread for two weeks in your vain attempt to bring a terrible 5 year old game here that is still a broken mess.

At the rate you're bumping it it's more like every 2-3 votes.

Why do I have the feeling if it were a game you wanted you wouldn't be calling it that?

RWarehall: You and a few people have been bumping this thread for two weeks in your vain attempt to bring a terrible 5 year old game here that is still a broken mess.
And you have become so emotionally invested so as to feel the need to complain about it over and over.

Do you have a policy or statement by staff to point to, that says this is "brigading"? Or is this just your opinion, based on your dislike of the game in question.

I made a similar joke in another topic, towards a pro-Scheme user. Obviously, since we used the same type of joke, we are in cahoots and our wishlist votes don't count!
