I'm very glad this is handled fair and square! Good decision to give it for free to owners of the game.

Well, they already own it, so taking it away from them would be super uncool. It's never great when things get to this point, but this is the best we can do.

Geralt_of_Rivia: But that reminds me of something.

There were two cases where a developer removed features from a game and tried to sell the features back to the customers via DLC.

One was Dying Light but that issue has been resolved.

The other was Vertical Drop Heroes which to my knowledge is still unresolved.

@fables22: An update to the Vertical Drop Heroes situation would be nice.

P.S.: See here for more information.

fables22: I will investigate what the deal is with Vertical Drop Heroes, if you'd find that helpful!
Yes, please, that would be nice.

And while you are at it: What's holding up the Darksiders Warmastered Edition update? The patch notes for the latest version have been online since yesterday but there is still no trace of a new installer or patch.

One thing at a time!

(But I'll also investigate)

well, "goodies" in games sold here on GOG had become memories from the past already... Devs don't even bother just throing a few extra wallpapers/avatr picks (as a matter of principle) to be nice (as if promo pics or wallpapers were requiring them hard work)...

So no more goodies on most new GOG games, now devs/publishers also remove what was previously granted as well...

well if it goes on like this, i highly consider not buying OST on GOG and rather purchase the music directly from the composers, at least i'm sure game dev/publisher won't get undesserved share of the profit

also, honnestly, as you now plan to sell soundtracks as "separate products" i think music/soundtracks should not be game DLC (requiring the base game to purchase) but completely separated products (i mean: i can listen the music without my computer, and/or can listen to music i like from games i couldnt run on my machine, ergo would not purchase to begin with)

be sure to let the publisher here know how despicable we think they are

It wasn't me - it was purely accidental! I just happened to investigate literally seconds after it went live. Glad it's sorted now ;)

We're not yet sure how it'll pen out in terms of the OST being sold separately, but will let you know once we have a clearer idea.

While I appreciate the heads up, and the OSTs not getting pulled for good from the accounts of those that already own the games, I don't appreciate Revolution Software's decision to sell these separately/ try and make money out of them when they've been part of the package for so many years. Heck, they even had the OSTs of Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2 in a Humble Bundle, FLAC version included, for about 1 USD.

The case of Wasteland 2 tells a different story; we had to fight to keep the FLAC version of the OST, but we more often than not lose.

Well, a lot of the time, it's not entirely our decision. But we do always try and do what we feel is right.

Maybe the composers of the OST asked Revolution to sell therr OST as a seperate DLC (for whatever reason). Such things mostly have a legal background which has changed. However if GOG is not planning to remove the OSTs from peoples library I am o.k. with GOG's way to handle the situation. Remember, GOG, we were promised that it will not happen again that content WHICH WAS ALLREADY BOUGHT will be removed anymore (it happened in the past a few times).

I'm fully aware of this, hence why I focused on mentioning the devs/pubs.

Still don't see why they have to be removed and re-added as separate products though. To the best of my knowledge, DLC is added to the game, and not listed separately in one's game library, why is this case handled differently?

fables22: If you’ve bought either/both of the games, the OSTs will automatically be removed as bonus content from your library and replaced by separate products.
Question about this (sorry if it was already answered and I missed it). What exactly do you mean with replaced by seperate products? Because that sounds like there will be seperate entries in our library just for the soundtracks o.O

Isn't that exactly what it says? It's how I read it. Guessing this will also keep the original game ID.

I'm just wondering, because yes, that is what it sounds like, but at least for the games I have which have seperate soundtracks, the soundtrack is not a seperate entry in the library, it is found under the game extras.
