It was GOG's fuckup.
Bethesda wouldn't have changed their policy so soon.
GOG wouldn't have been able to change it back without Bethesda's say-so.
So GOG overstepped the mark (c.f: Steam did the right thing by ensuring existing customers had access to what they paid for).
GOG could restore access to paid content and look like the saviour - except they didn't need to remove it in the first place.
Well done GOG ineptitude.

If the combined version would have contained all content, it would not have been a problem in the first place. Someone didn't look close enough it seems.

Thanks MarkoH01 for your efforts, and GOG for fixing what needed to be fixed.
Remember, folks: Always backup your installers, specially if they're from Bethesda games

Yes, MarkoH01 you managed to consolidate GOG users to appeal for the restoration of the Lost Episodes back to our game libraries. If not for you we might have never seen those back.
I wonder why GOG named it Wolfenstein: Spear of Destiny, the correct naming would be either Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny or simply Spear of Destiny. Alas I'm afraid that would never be corrected.
Maybe I should ask MarkoH01 to make a new thread ;)

So I would hardly class GOG as being inept, certainly in this instance, if not in others.
If they were truly inept in this circumstance, then they would never have accepted they needed to restore things. They eventually did the right thing and that should be praised.

But complaining and accusing is so much more fun ... and it makes one feel important.

If Doom 2016 ever comes to GOG I will be really REALLY hesitant to purchase it here.
it will be a battle of wills for the ages with me.

But sure, if all extra content could be activated offline (like it was done for Saints Row 3 and 4), then I would buy it again on GOG, so I could dump my Steam version.
It seems that Doom 2016 is push towards Xbox

Edit: GOG resolved the issue on 01/25/2023 by readding the old versions of Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny back to the libraries of those who purchased the game before the change and therefore proving that they REALLY do listen to our feedback ... they are just not so big on talking ;) Thank you GOG for showing support for your customers in the end!
