Alexim: Unfortunately it will never happen because on Discord the developer has made it clear that he doesn't want to have anything to do with GOG and he won't even release the sequel on GOG.
avatar
firstpastthepost: The developer made it pretty clear that he doesn't want to release it on Steam either. He views Steams refund policy as promoting piracy.
I understand. Based on Alexim's and your answer it looks like the developer doesn't like any sort of digital storefront anymore for a number of reasons. I guess hard copies are the way to go then :/. Cheers

firstpastthepost: I really don't believe that GoG would require an invoice from the company for this function. That makes no sense whatsoever.
Judging by the state of bureaucracy in this country, I really would not be surprised if this was indeed the case.
So glad I bought it a while back, but haven't played it yet.

Still sorry to see it go though...

Darvond: TL;DR: Ooblets pulls carpet and reveals Epic exclusivity, but in a particularly patronizing & insulting way. Tim Sweeny says, "That was very cool of them", pissing even more people off.
Is that even allowed(telling people you are selling on a store and letting them preorder then cutting stores off the list) in some countries? Isn't that akin to fraud?

SCPM: This is a disappointing trend, including Grandia 1 and the update not coming to GOG, and the Alien Shooter devs Sigma Team saying on Facebook that they aren't going to put anymore games on GOG either. :(

tfishell: Did Sigma Team say why no more games would come here?
No reason given, but they used to release their stuff DRM-free and literally everywhere, but most of their last releases require Steam.

It is complicated; the jurisdictions of many countries do not have a protocol in place.

I would've thought EU countries would have such already....guess I was a bit mistaken.

IIRC there weren't any preorders set for Ooblets. I think the devs only opened a Patreon page and people can support them monthly to see game updates, concept art and stuff like that.
"I requested it to be removed. It sold $140 worth of copies last year. It's not worth keeping up there. No traction.
You can still play Windward using the GOG version. I just don't want anyone else to buy it on GOG. I literally stopped sending GOG invoices because sending an invoice for $8 a month is just silly."

Well, here in Germany we have an old adage: "Wer den Pfennig nicht ehrt, ist den Taler nicht wert".
That "literally" translates to "who doesn't honour the penny, isn't worth the dollar".

Though the English language has its own saying: "Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves".

Alternate transliteration, "Penny Wise; Pound Foolish", if you focus so much on saving money, you may end up wasting money in doing so.

That is one hell of a saying. So much truth in one sentence. +1 :). Cheers

As a dev who is running the business side of things along side game development etc the price of the time they used to obtain those pennies might result it the final sum being negative so they could be honouring that adage by cutting GOG.
Had to look this up. Looks like a 'Sid Meyers pirates' Clone.

If he's successful enough to be able to bill himself by the hour or has the freedom to do paid work for someone else any time he likes... all the power to him.

I suspect most solo indies are in a completely different position. Their time has no inherent monetary value. Either they get $0 out of their time (i.e. sit on their asses, or do work that does not pay off), or they do something that pays even a little, and get some $$. Do that enough and maybe they'll eventually become successful enough to think like a business that pays salary by the hour. Most indies won't ever get there. Most indies fail.

Anyway, if I had the chance to spend an hour once a year to invoice for $140, I'd sure take it. Beats my hourly salary by a wide margin.
