What's absurd is that most indie devs have absolutely no trouble updating their games reliably updating in compliance with GOG policy. (Factorio, Starbound, Parkitecht, et al.) and even big guys like GalCiv III is updating on a reasonable time scale.

It must be an issue of Perception. :P (But considering the middling reviews to...being slammed on Destructoid, I'm not surprised the pub is being iffy and blind.)

if you look at their kickstarter they mention in an update that it's due to "logistical issues" that gog patch has not arrived.

Hey, that actually sounds a lot better. But before everybody is throwing stones at me for "jumping to conclusions" please ... the wording of the reply they gave me was more than bad. Now I have hope that they might return to my reply and they will clear it up.

Welp, for what it's worth, I just got a refund for Perception, despite buying it all the way back in September, despite having downloaded and played it. I let support know that the game, as it is currently sold, is broken and that the devs seem unwilling or incapable to fix it. Support was like "Where did they say they won't fix the gog version?" and I'm like "I dunno man, they didn't reply to my inquiries, so all I have to go on is this thread right here." They're like "You want wallet funds with that?" and I'm like "Fine" and totally got a refund.

Make of that info what you will. I even said that if they can get those patches here, I'd be fine with withdrawing my refund request. Keep in mind that Hello Neighbor was patched less than 24 hours after refunds for that game had been granted, so not all hope is lost. But as it stands, you'd be well-advised to avoid Perception for the time being.

Again, this is still GOG's fault for not making devs sign a contract when they release a game here which says that the game must receive the same updates that Steam version does. GOG just seem to be too desperate to get new games on here, I mean this "Perception" looks like crap anyway.

Effort. Seeing as Perception was already given the reputation as rubbish.

Still, some of us wanted to buy it here. Not at full price though. :p
