Should gog nuke Cinemaware from orbit?

YES! Enough with the bullshit. Either release the anthology here or GTFO!
A bump for awareness couldn't hurt during a sale.

Cinemaware, wake up.
Remove these con artists from the catalogue already! Nary a tear will be shed.

Did they ever bother to announce an update to the *issue* ?

Sure they did. In the form of crickets and tumbleweeds.

GOG said that they (together with Cinemaware) will have sth for us in the second half of the year...But it seems they will not..

EDIT: Or was it Cinemaware guy who said that..Can't remember

I don't know if you are aware, but I think Cinemaware might be going belly up. I recently checked their latest KS for Rocket Ranger and apparently they are in the midst of refunding people from there as they're unable to complete the game.

Wouldn't it be a good reason to start selling their games here and scrap a few bucks more?

Well the easy answer is that they apparently had some high-level backers whose pledges never came to them, so they didn't get the minimum goal that the campaign had, and at the same time they didn't get a publisher to make up for that gap. So they simply don't have the money required to do the game, so they asked backers whether they want to be refunded or wait 2+ years to have the game made. Refund won.

Now the more complicated answer is that this new Cinemaware seems to be doing just about everything wrong, and everything they do, seems to upset people. Including poor communication, unfixed bugs, backer rewards that haven't been sent, etc. People simply have zero faith in Cinemaware anymore.

I think very few companies have managed to tarnish their reputation the way Cinemaware did. There was a time when people thought nothing but good things about Cinemaware. These days, it seems to be quite opposite. Mismanaging the emulated releases has even tarnished their past reputation in the eyes of many gamers.

Without any kind of trust, it's hard to build any kind of future.
I was still hoping that Cinemaware would do right by its GOG customers and supporters.But this doesn't look good.
They probably got outvoted by their publisher and decided to forget about this
No update, no communication, nothing.

Looks like Game Over for Cinemaware.A real shame.
