Thanks for this. I can't believe GOG did not answer. I guess it's all in Digital Eclipse hands, as when it comes to generate a DLC / patch, they will first have to make it, then for sure it will go through ATARI QA and the hopefully on GOG ... Now i must say i don't get why they did not anticpate it. Really surprising ......

My theory here is given how we have other dlcs coming for the colection they'll give us them when they have most if not all the planned ones out same with the update mentioned ..I say this as similar has happened on games here on Gog before

October 29 and still no DLC or update..... sad sad sad.

Yeah, i remembered recently that is sort of what happened the last time there was a problem with Digital Eclipse. They ended up just repackaging the whole thing and people who owned the first version of Disney Classic Games Collection a discount equal to the amount that Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and the Lion King cost.

If they're going to have to finagle it that way again, I wouldn't be surprised if we are waiting until the next DLC drops.

GoG really needs to make this work better. I looked through comments on the release trailer for this game, and it turns out Digital Eclipse has been trying to get it to post here for us to buy. That makes sense since it seems to be only here on GoG that game companies can't keep their games updated like literally every other platform.

On the 28th September, Atari released an official statement on X: '"VCS players will be getting both DLC packs for free in an update once DLC2 comes out in November!"'.
If Atari - as the publisher of this DLC - is willing to have their most loyal customers of Atari hardware wait until November, then how much more so to GOG customers?

We don't know if the GOG 'case' is intentional or not. All we have is Digital Eclipse' word on it.

Remember that we're dealing with a business here and businesses have needs. It's looking like the GOG version will either release along with the VCS version - unlikely, given there is still no update on the GOG version for over a month now. Digital Eclipse likely won't commit themselves by providing an ETA on the GOG version until after they've taken care of the release on the main platforms > VCS.

Remember that there has never been a press release mentioning a planned GOG version, only a comment about it on a YT comment thread, which doesn't bode well for it being high up on the list of priorities.

Priorities and likely order of release: main platforms (no surprises there) > VCS (customers of Atari's own hardware) > GOG.

Well, second DLC drops in 6 days. We'll see what happens.

I bought Atari50 here yesterday so if the DLC doesn't drop in 6 days I will be refunding because I will still be in the refund time window.

Doesn’t look too good. On the Atari and Digital Eclipse websites it doesn’t mention Atari 50 available on GOG at all. I wonder if it’s some kind of business shenanigans going on.

Well thats just common for companies not to list games that are also on Gog ..so I don't see that as a bad sign as much as I see it as a ''industry standard'' when dealing with Gog.. granted its still not good to do but it doesn't mean anything persay at the same time

Tomorrow is it. If they don't have the DLC Updates here, looks like I'm re-buying the game from Steam come next month

Just saw a friend on steam bought the console wars DLC so the second one is out over there..

Well, the fact that the Gog release is without the updates tells me everything I need to know...

Looks like I'm uninstalling my Gog purchase of it and buying it from Steam instead

What does it tell you? (apart from GOG doesn't have the update) What do we actually know about the situation with the GOG release?

Let us speculate that the absence of a GOG update / DLC is the developers fault:
Uninstalling your GOG purchase does nothing. We've paid good money for this product, and we're going to 'reward' the developer / publisher by buying the game again on Steam? If anything, this only encourages and contributes to the problem. That we'll just take it and still keep coming back to them for their games.

Because the GOG userbase is comparatively insignificant to Steam, how does this automatically make this GOG's fault, as to developers' attitudes towards the GOG platform, and hence its customers? We can only change the developers' attitudes by voting with our wallets. Ask ourselves, if having a principled approach to how we are expected to be treated as a customer - and potentially affecting change - worth it for being without their product?

Regardless of whether the issue is with how viable the developers find the GOG platform, a technical issue with the release or where the GOG version falls in the list of priorities, we simply don't know - other than Atari's response mentioned in a previous post here. Given the vagueness of this response, we still don't know what area of responsibility for the 'delay' falls. Why would developers / publishers / GOG, as businesses, reveal details which could have negative implications for any party? when they are in a business partnership?

Is it up to GOG to develop and publish games / updates of any products on its store? or is the onus not on the developers?

Are we, as customers on the GOG store, not meant to support this store and GOG's mission in giving ownership to customers? As supporters of this approach, are we not meant to take a more principled stance in how we are expected to be treated as customers?

What does stating our grievances on this forum achieve? Why not publically call Digital Eclipse to account on their public channels such as YouTube?
