The devs mentionned in the very last paragraph of the last dev blog post (I can't link it here but it's in ''Play your Cardz Right'') that GOG demanded to change the game lore.

Is this an accurate statement, and if so, what are GOG reasons? I'm just curious because it's a weird request from an online store.

"Apologies for the lack of blog last week, the blog writer had a fever and for much of Thursday was hallucinating that he was stuck in a Mexican hotel and GOG kept on phoning the switchboard to demand that we change the Knox Event lore."

That was his direct quote, sounds more along the lines of a joke.
