Hello, all!
I've been wondering for a while now why we've not gotten any versions of the games on GOG in anything other than English. The GoG team pride themselves on worldwide releases, and with good reason. However, it seems a bit odd that not a single game (at least none of the ones I've bought so far) have been in anything other than English, despite there obviously being a spot on each game's page on the site for "languages" suggesting there would be other versions of the games. Now obviously there are some games that come with multiple languages on their own, like Ubi's Beyond Good & Evil, it seems odd that other versions of the other games have not been made available. I'm not sure if there are complications in getting those versions, but man, it must suck for people in, say, Spain or France, not to be able to play any of the games on this global site unless they're fluent in English, never mind people from other countries that may wish to enjoy their games in their homeland's language (Including large portions of the Southern and Western United States where there are large Spanish-speaking populations).
So, am I alone in wanting to see more multi-lingual game support in GoG releases, or are there others who'd like to flip to another language and play every once in a while?
