So it's not coming to GOG because someone thinks it looks like a mobile game. I was really hoping it would show up on GOG and trigger a Zachtronics promo so I could get all his games.

What is the point of supporting GOG, when the supposed champion of DRM-free gaming imposes a shackle on your choices? Seriously GOG, what are you thinking? Getting good games onto the service is hard enough without being a picky eater.

This is a bad argument. GOG isn't imposing a shackle on your choices, they're executing their choice. Now the choice in this particular case happens to be dumb, but we really don't want every asset flip under the sun to come here.

We only have a tweet from Zachtronics to go on, but if the fact, that you rejected their last game is true, then for the love of all that is holy, please, PLEASE reconsider. Zach makes one of the best puzzle games on the market. I love playing them and I hate puzzle games!
Moreover, you're already selling Spacechem and Infinifactory, which are very similar to Opus Magnum, so what's different this time?
I do appreciate that you take curating your store seriously. Honestly, I think that your selection of games is top-notch, with some stinkers here and there (like LSL:Magna Cum Laude), but assuming that the rumors of the game being rejected are true, then I feel that you've made a mistake here.
Zach is a respectable developer with a very unique take on puzzle games and I think you would be remiss not to include him on your store. Please reconsider.
Best wishes,
Onlooker

Perhaps the message should be sent to inquires@gog.com. I'm not sure forum is the best way to reach a proper people being behind the decision. Please, find the GOG's answer below.
I'm afraid that I cannot reveal the details of why such decision was made but please believe me it wasn't without a reason and was based on on couple of factors. Also I'm not sure if actually support is a good place for such statements since no matter how we appreciate it, we could only pass your message to our bizdev team. For any business contacts you should use use this address: inquires@gog.com. Anyway I apologize if you find this situation as an inconvenience.
