So a few days ago I purchased Skyhill. And I can't see how to tell which version gog is selling but figure it's okay. Now after I purchase it I see it's version 1.1.19.

And of course I go to Steam and find out they have version 1.1.20.... FROM OVER TWO YEARS ago. (see screenshot)

Now I don't care one iota about the achievement fixes, and they could be unique to Steam only anyway, but I DO care about bug fixes (ALWAYS) and updating to the newest engine version sounds like something I'd want. But always, always, always bug fixes.

January 2017. That's when Steam got their bug fixes. It's July 2019. Will gog ever get those bug fixes??:?

Why gog? Why do you put up with it? Why do you allow yourselves to get the reputation of selling outdated, unpatched, and unsupported games? WTF?

I can only second the OP here.

This game was already added to the 2nd class citizen list for that reason. I have finished the game multiple times and never encountered a bug, so, as I said in that thread, I don't think it's that important.

It sucks, but it is what it is. Live with it or never buy on gog again. Buy only on Steam and become one with the hive mind. I don't even have a steam account, so I've already made my choice and am stuck with it. I also don't see such Steam posts since I never visit the site unless someone posts an explicit link. I don't even download mods from the workshop any more unless someone asks about if it works without login and steam game ownership for some game.

I don't own that particular game but it's getting to the point where I now check this spreadsheet before buying anything (Skyhill is already listed there BTW).

Okay, sounds good to me. Steam it is from now on I guess.

Gog, this has 1000+ votes by now.. come on!

No more outdated or abandoned games.

Responded to wrong person.

Who is to blame for this? The devs of games like this or GOG?

Old games on GOG?? When did that happen?

Most of the times it's devs or publishers. Sometimes it's time and/or money, sometimes they just forget, sometimes the DRM free builds are too much effort.
Occasionally it's also GOG, but to be honest, that seems to be a very rare case - otoh they could try and be a bit more strict about devs and pubs keeping their stuff on here updated. ;p

(Side note and much more on topic, I've tried contacting the SKYHILL devs - and the publisher Daedalic - twice about their game but have unfortunately not gotten a reply.)

Don't know who is to blame for missing updates (I suspect mostly the developers) but gog is to blame for continuing to sell their games even after they have shown to not support it here.

For example, this game is STILL being sold here even though it's been literally YEARS since the developer/publisher has abandoned it here. The Steam version has seen many updates to this game there.

If a publisher/developer won't provide gog the same updates (content wise... obviously Steam workshop or achievement stuff doesn't count) then gog should not sell their game here. Period. Full stop. They are helping such publishers/developers make money from them while they're costing them a reputation that will only hurt them moving forward. It's literally insane.

Just do NOT sell games that don't or won't get the same after purchase support as they would get at Steam (or anywhere else) since, you know, we pay the same price for the game as Steam users do. Just. Stop. Selling. Them. Here. I can't for the life of me believe Sheltered is still being sold here. (In fact it just got a hotfix two days ago.

ADDED IN EDIT: Apparently Sheltered was finally updated here and my info is incorrect. Sorry. I don't own the game so I didn't know it had been updated. But again sorry for the wrong info.

It was actually brought up to date late last year.

It doesn't show the name change (to Sheltered Stassis) and it doesn't include the patch from July 16, but I didn't know they had at least finally updated it. Thank you for the info. Sorry for my erroneous info..

Yes, it does not have the patch from two days ago yet. Might be via Galaxy already? I have no way to tell as I do not own it.

Edit: Complete sidenote, I asked GOG ages ago to change the name of Galaxy of Pen and Paper to have +1 at the end like on Steam to show it has the content. It still hasn't happened. So don't get your hopes up on Sheltered changing the name.
