HELP GOG add D:OS Digital Collectors Edition: :)

http://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/divinity_original_sin_bundle
Decided to defer my purchase from Steam to GOG, but it hasn't been easy! Can hardly wait, and I'm checking GOG.com twice daily.
Wish we had an ETA

ch36u3v4r4: I can't speak for everyone but in my case I redeemed my copy of the game on GoG and my girlfriend redeemed her copy on Steam. I've been quite excited to play together but our window of compatibility (same version on Steam and GoG) since launch has been about 12 hours. I suppose if I'd thought of it right away I could have prevented her version from ever updating and waited until GoG caught up (though now they're two versions behind again) but I kickstarted this game specifically because it was designed around co-op game play and as of a week after launch I've never successfully played co-op. That's why I'm frustrated.
Doesn´t the gog license allow unlimited installs on your own computers? Just throw away the steam version and both of you play the gog version.

Yes, but for a single person only. TET had suggested treating the game as a book, if one person is reading it, another can't read it at the same time.
Still no release.

Niggles: Still no release.
Nor any updates from GOG. I don't like how GOG handles this situation at all.
It's tuesday; one week has passed since Judas wrote his statement ( "We will release Divinity: Original Sin in the next few days."). Status of D:OS is still "TBA".
Oh and again we (the non-backers) didn't get any status-update for a couple of days.

Tbh, I'm pissed. Last week I was willing to spend my money on a day-1-release -as we all know that these titles can be buggy nowadays. GOG messed up the whole release, but after Judas' statement I was fine to wait another 1-5 (FEW) days. But after a whole week I'm asking myself why I should pay my hard earned money for a title my favorite store and even the developers prevented me from buying.

Conclusion: I'm still interested in D:OS, but not at all costs.
And this means: either many fantastic goodies/ extras are included or it's reasonably priced (as TopGears Jeremy Clarkson would say).
To Judas -- can we at least have an update?. - It has been from a reasonable persons view *a few days* already....

I would welcome an update too.
Personally I would be fine if GOG gives us what the KS backers are getting and add extra stuff later.

Let's not forget that larian are probably even more guilty for this mess than gog

norolim: Don't ask me. I said, I'm OK to wait.
Puzzled and curious - if you're ok with waiting, why did you reply to Niggles by telling him that he's asking "stupid questions"?
I'm hoping the information shortage means they're working on something big atleast. :)

Maybe, but only in terms of steam-exclusiveness or something. It's up to GOG to maintain relationships with their customers.

€: I didn't expect Larian to post an explanation in this thread, but I do expect GOG to do so.

I wonder if it would possibly cause even more madness and frustration if a blue posted a thing like "we're in the middle of a brutal s*itstorm right now, legal issues, compatibility issues, our workers are behind schedule with making a proper DRM-free build ready, please bear with us"
