Earlier as I mentioned on this thread :

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_needs_much_more_rights_about_installers

now it's going to be a new kind of cancer. It need to be cure . Really and why ?

Let's take a look at this : Today Steamworld Heist pushed an update:

And here is the screenshot of latest Steam / GOG builds.

https://i.ibb.co/cgKSSfb/sikerler.png

So what's the meaning of it ?

OK seems a bit more complicated but here is the truth ; for a 192 MB game (yes it's actually 192 MB) GOG build is filled with 67.8 MB trash. If it's a coincidence maybe I won't care that much but nope you are wrong again, that's nearly same with all of the newly released games on GOG.

So I am asking same question again, what happened to QA department, what happened to internal testing ? Why all of those trash now is GOG standard, why all of those trash now sprungled all over our face ?

It seems I am kind of burned out. Sadly I bored to buy same games over and over again from 999999+ stores for support evolution of DRM-free gaming. I bored to report same problems to devs and GOG support. I bored to report same problems over and over again.

I know in the past too many GOG veterans stopped to buy something from GOG and completely quit despite of their passion. It seems I am advancing on the same road. If it's new quality standards of GOG, I am refusing to buy anything until something start to change.

well, it's not trash. It's the full debug information for the game, if I decipher your screenshot correctly.
While that is not useful for playing the game, it becomes very handy if you ever have to investigate some weird compatibility problem and load the game into a debugger/disassembler.
Just think of all the time that people have invested to painfully dig through the unannotated assembly code from older games to find out why they don't work as they are supposed to do on newer systems. Having the relevant pdb files along with the code would have been soo much helpful.
Given that one of GOG's main selling points is to keep games working even for cases where the original developers lost interest, they are probably more than happy to accept builds that include the full debug info.
I think you're quacking that your wheat bread was replaced with proper duck food.
Btw, why does GOG dump such files in the game's root dir, instead of simply putting them inside a GOG subfolder?
It's a mess..

Yeah in the worst case if GOG really wants to give DEBUG files those must be in extra goodies or something. Not in the root folder of the main installer's. %90 gamers even can't use those files. And those files sometimes could be bigger than actual game itself. Why we need to kill our precious HDD space ?

Precious HDD space? You can buy 2tb hard drives for less than 70€ these days.

I own 150 games on GoG, all installed on a hard drive to save up on SSD space. In total they take up less than 70 gigs of my 'precious' HDD space.

Is that real ? Is it really your argument to all of that wall of text ? That's cringe boy. Good luck on your life...

Says the dude complaining about 67.8mb of data he has no use for.
