I hope this comes to GOG aswell.

Saints Row 2 is often considered as one of the worst PC ports ever released. However, that’s about to change. Volition has just announced at SR2’s 11th anniversary stream that it will release a new PC performance patch.

Volition stated that it has found the PC source code from the original outsourced port job for Saints Row 2. As such, the team will release a new patch that will address the game’s performance issues. Moreover, it will be adding Steamworks support and the console-only DLC.

While we don’t have an ETA on when this update will come out, we do know that it will be free for all existing Steam owners.

Saints Row 2 is an open-world game that offers expanded customization options, a totally transformed and expanded city of Stilwater, all new vehicles, sandbox tools and toys.

We’ll be sure to keep you posted about this PC performance patch for Saints Row 2!

You & me both ;)
This is incredible news. Hopefully they don't forget about the GOG version.
They said on the Twitch stream that the fixed version will be available only on Steam.

"who knows where it'll go from here"
So we're gonna get a delayed patch I'm guessing. I wonder if they even remember there's a GOG version of the game.
It’s ok, steam is anti drm so we can all get it there. Don’t believe me:

There’s Uncle DRM free gaming right the quoted as Gabe!
It will have Steam integration now so it's possible a GOG patch may be a while.

Steamworks support for multiplayer
DLC that was previously console-only
Draw distance increase
Better resolution support (ultrawide was mentioned)
Higher-quality audio

The fixed version will have a new app ID but will be free for existing Steam owners.

Considering (part of) CDP is responsible for the original port, I'm going to say they're probably aware xD

That is.. disgusting.
An anti-DRM initiative and the fist face you see is Gaben?!
I have to throw up.
If they only release on steam alongside other crap they pull then they can fuck off but i guess it's Deep Silver striking again, most developers/pubs are fuckheads and honestly i'm tired of it.

It's the same every time, taking your money is no problem but treating paying customers the same now that's too much to ask.

If it bothers you THAT much, it may be time to turn the computer off and go outside. Go listen to the birds, feed some ducks, kill a few deer, scare some children with a clown outfit or something.
Awesome! I do like 2 a lot, holds that place in my heart as a great game to waste time in.

yeah they are, and that's why it's not coming to GOG

CD Project Black (now defunct) was doing the port, actually - outsourced to some chinese company that had so tight budget they got all audio in mono and many more bizarre examples.
