Would it be possible to add The Expendabros as a bonus, or a freegame?

I think it would be problematic. The game was a tie-in with the Expandables 3 and the theatrical run of that film is long gone, they probably don't have rights to re-relese that game here. That game is free anyways, so I don't see reason to bring it to GOG.

It's free on steam. Alternatively you're welcome to pirate it :)

Where can you get it DRM-free?

Can't. Or as Nekropants said.

The steam release (at least the mac version) is semi DRM-Free. You can copy/save the download to another folder and uninstall it on steam. I ran it on another computer without Steam installed and it worked fine for me with very limited play(I.E. it didn't spit back that it wouldn't launch without steam and I could actually play the game). I launched it on a computer with Steam installed and while it still ran outside of steam, upon detecting steam it tried to install it via steam - which is why I said it was "semi DRM-free." It also has a menu option that says "Buy Broforce on Steam" or something to that effect.

Hello, just bought your game during the Spring sale and browsed the forum.

Regularly, people complain of being treated as second class citizen on GOG due to update being late and, I have to admit that, while I agree on some points, there is a feeling of entitlement I don't feel much comfortable with.

However, I find the kind of answer above given by a developer of the game quite sad since it's really empowering this "second class" feeling. Because, you have here people asking gently if an update available elsewhere would one day come and the answer is "No, if you want it re-buy the game or pirate it. Not our problem".

It would be more interesting to have an answer explaining why it can't be on GOG (lack of resources, rights, not enough sales on GOG...) and, please, without the bullshit part (we have politicians and PR for that).

Hey. A little history on The Expendabros. It was a cross promotional tie in with Lionsgate and Free Lives, for the Expendable 3 movie and Broforce. It was made in 2 or so months while still having to do regular Broforce updates. it was only meant to be freely available on Steam until December 31st 2014. After that it was to be taken down. However it gained so much popularity that discussion were had with Steam and Devolver Digital (our publishers) and it was kept live and still is free to play.

You would have noticed that we didn't put The Expendabros on Humble either. As soon as it was released on Steam, we continued crunching on Broforce. Now that Broforce is complete, we have four other games under way. Broforce and anything linked to it has taken a back seat. The Expendabros won't be released on other platforms because:
1. The promotional tie in is almost 3 years old.
2. We don't have the time, nor manpower to port to other platforms.
3. Linked to 2. , it doesn't pay to port to other platfroms.

I hope the tone of this bit was taken as factual, as this is what I have tried to give you.

Thank you for this explanation.

It was. Thank you for that.

It happens that I just finished the "Story mode" and it was great fun. Let me wish you great luck for your future games and I'm looking forward seeing them available on GOG.
