Lol, itz refund time!
Posted February 13, 2019
By Gumby's beard, if you panic when a game comes out of early access and doesn't magically wizard and update immediately on all platforms, I'd hate to see your reaction of having to wait upwards of a week for a package to arrive on the common Linux distro. (Well, up to a week on the sane ones, upwards of 6 months if you're insane and run a LTS build.)

GOG personally tests, checks, signs, and packages the installers and updates, after all.

Don't go crazy yet. If it really concerns you, contact GoG support and let them know it's out of early access. GoG doesn't magically know and won't ask unless someone let's them know.

Once GoG knows they can go poke the devs and see what's up. You can try poking the devs yourself as well.

Nah, sorry. This thing hasn't gotten any of the new builds they put on Steam for over half a year. Even if they were to finally get their asses in gear and dump the 1.0 release build, that does NOT bode well for the future of this game on gog.

There is quite a bit of talk in their Steam updates regarding a level editor they added to the more recent builds. Anyone want to bet this editor will not be in the gog version?

I'm getting a refund.

So, DID it get an update like the dev said?

It is no longer listed as "in development", which would imply that it got patched to the release build. The complete lack of a release news post would imply that this whole episode has considerably soured the relationship between the dev and gog.

Judging by the still in-dev storepage info (pricing, release date, game description, screenshots), I'd lean on either GOG mistakenly marking this one as released, or as a visible work-in-progress, with the patch yet to land here.

if im giving a game developer money for a game i want, they should update it, but in this era of gaming its basically release a barebones game and the game wont be fully playable or complete after about 4 months of updates, just look at battlefield 5, majority of the game was locked behind a timewall, if devgs arent gonna update games ehre on GOG and just basically lick valves ass when they update steam they need to get prioritys right, if you only plan to update on steam, JUST RELEASE ON STEAM, not fair that GOG users get a piss poor product thats months old cos the devs are lazy to get off there ass and update it on this platform aswell.

arpovpolik: Why does the GOG not follow the relevance of the games that it sells?

timppu: Do any digital stores do that? Does Valve track the status of all Steam games, whether they are up to date and possibly missing some updates?

How would such tracking work in practice anyway? GOG (or Steam, or whatever) has several employees whose task is to daily, or weekly, go through all the games in the store, and try to find out if some other store has a more recent version?

Nah, I think GOG mainly expects the developers themselves to make sure their GOG games are up to date, just as they should. If you think it is GOG's job to track it (while other stores like Steam are not doing it), are you willing to pay more for GOG games for such an extra service? After all, GOG has to pay salary for the assigned "game version trackers", don't they?
Wasn't Sony's store authenticated? (The trade-off is less content, but higher quality.) So it may be self-limiting, because a store may not have the range to keep customers happy. But, with iStore, Steam, and other flagrant box-moving shovelware sites, there is little quality control and zero assurance.

I am willing for arpovpolik to pay extra for the service, does that count? :P
