Actually this is a good turn of event... just to make sure GoG doesn't turn belly up.

Btw the refunds policy is pretty good.

Okay I'm confused.

comboplayer has never bought anything from GOG, but he is complaining about it what they sell.

How does that work? :P

I'm not opposed to "In Development" and can clearly see why GoG has made it an option.

A lot of sales are made on these kinds of pre-release software, so even if they're released when completed on GoG after they've been available they've missed a potential audience.

It appears GoG are being responsible, they're being selective on which titles they're offering and offer a no quibble refund.

So I don't think this is a down hill slope.

I don't have a problem with GOG's "In Development" either. I'm not going to buy any of them, so it really has no impact on me whatsoever.

I do question their "curation" though, unless they want games that are permanently "In Development".

Starbound and Project Zomboid look like cool titles, but are they ever going to be finished?

I actually own Starbound on steam - won it on steamgifts, but I don't like playing games before they're finished, so I've never played it.

comboplayer: gog in development games = gog just went full retard
You again? Aren't you the flamebaiting "GOG sucks and Steam is awesome!" troll?
And yet you say that GOG copying Steam is a bad idea?
Whoo, boy. You ain't even TRYING anymore, are ya?

Just wondering the logic of that myself...
I thought he hated GoG and loved Steam, so if GoG is becoming more like Steam then that must be a good thing? (to him)

Stupid people can be so confusing sometimes.

He's also on the scammer list so I guess he doesn't like the idea of stealing unfinished games.

HEY - SHIRLEY!

I can recognise you anywhere.

Heh, I don't undestand why people are still complaining about these things. Gog's steamlike transformation started with introduction of regional pricing two year ago, then came partial regional censorship on some games, introduction of galaxy the copy of steam client. Its a natural step if they wan't to grow as a company. I don't really see how early access on gog came as a surprise (especially since it was mentioned as an option before). The main thing is that the client is not forced for usage on single player games and that they for now remain drm-free. If those two things change then you can put a Steam sticker on the webpage of gog but not before.

Project Zomboid seems to be about 80% done. The devs are pretty transparent, either releasing a new build or development news on Mondays.

Waiting for Zeroxx to pop up and do the same thing. I love have back and forth 'discussion' with that one.

I just love trollbaiting. It costs me a serious amount of rep, but I don't care. I have my fun even if it ends up not being to my benefit.

Personally I jus think that because of this new feature, GOG is going to focus more on adding more "In-Development" games and less on getting old classics like Command & Conquer and Total War games prior to Empire.

Or at the very least newer AAA games like Batman Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age Origins, etc.

The quality of these games can very wildly to which only a select few are good for everyone.

I mean how many people are gonna buy and play a game here like this:

http://www.gog.com/game/little_inferno

Compared to people that wants a games like this to be here:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/4700/

http://store.steampowered.com/app/47810/
