We’d like to inform you that due to the publisher's request, 60 Seconds! will be delisted from our catalog on Friday, September 29th.

For everyone who purchased this title prior to delisting, it will remain in their GOG library.
I guess they no longer want the un-remastered edition available anywhere?
Another delisting!? Sigh... well thanks for letting us know. Into the cart it goes.
Like a previous poster has posted, the delisting is likely related to the fact that they're now selling a remastered version of the game.
Although it doesn't seem likely it'll be sold here.

GOG didn't say anything about the game's twin 60 Parsecs.
So the "Remaster" theory sounds plausible.

edit:
Another observation: These games go rarely on sale if at all. :-/

Though it's not its launch that's the problem, since I see that it was released in 2019, so it must be a decision to "bury" the original taken now for some reason. And yeah, GOG not among the stores listed on their sites for this version.
I think GoG just is not the right place for it as it seems to have pretty good sells on some either bigger or "more specialized" platforms, for those sort of games. Yet, to me this game simply is not at the same league such as "Mundaun", yet, it is aproximately sold up to 10 times better on the biggest platforms. Guess it simply is hitting the taste of the mainstream and GoG is not exactly mainstream, instead rather for people who enjoy "hidden gems".

I mean, 60 seconds is not a "rare title", it is sold almost everywhere... even Android. I just wonder why it has not been sold for the internal and intelligent i-sandwich-toaster chip many housholds already got. Guess GoG was just to less mainstream for this... to be a good fit; yet i still see no reason for not still having it here... it does not hurt at all.

Weird enough, the only one this polish studio was "removing" was GoG, the other "park of whatelse"... is still available on its full glory. https:/.../robotgentleman.com/?
There is only one thing they may have in common: They all got some sort of DRM.

I may be wrong on my investigations, but apparently this game hasn't been on sale for several years now.
My personal opinion is that it's hard to make a buck when you're not giving discount for a game, specially on this age, where dozens of new games reach the stores every day.

And as for those who reason that poor sales is the reason why games leave the store... I gotta wonder how many copies does GOG sell of "Gnomoria" since it was released?
They apparently did not care because some more water somewhere else. The discount does not need to be high but it really helps, every bit... because many people only buy games when there is a sale and without any discount it simply will never "show up".

@ Xeshra

I can only speak for myself here, but in my case my backlog is so big that right now the only reason I buy games is to support the GOG store and devs and publishers who sell DRM-free.
I always check the weekly sales to see if there's a good promotion around. And if a game never gets on sale, regardless of how good it is, there's almost zero chance I'll take notice of it. So my opinion is that devs have everything to win if they allow discounts for their games.
I bet, the dev / publisher could have multiplied their sales, if they had set the initial base price to 5x and then run with the usual "80%-off" bandwagon (which equals its current price).
Not gonna work for this game. Or do you want to charge 50 coins for it as a "normal-price"?
Ultimately it is simply either worth (to you) the price asked for or simply not.

Yet i do know well, as a real fan you may barely be able to resist... even massive robbery.

However, this "love" can still slowly drop over time... in term a fan is looking like a plucked hen.

I am not the right customer for this game anyway... i would rather buy for example this one, at the price asked. Small games but good games: https:/.../www.gog.com/en/game/seasons_after_fall

Both games got about 6 hours main + sides... https:/.../howlongtobeat.com/game/26810 which is a "small game" to me. But it can be shorter... at this price point. Over 10 hours i consider "average", over 20 hours "above average", over 40 hours is "great" and above 80 hours is "hardcore"... just few games are fitting into this spec.

Of course, "Reverie" was really expensive but you see... this game is another size, around the "hardcore-spec": https:/.../howlongtobeat.com/game/82480

Thank you for the suggestions! Put both games on my wishlist for later.

No, your "Reverie: Sweet as Edition" got about 2-3 hours playtime, which is "on the shortest end" i know of. Although a few games may even undercut 2 hours, up to 3 is still a very low mark.

My Reverie was the evil NIS game... which got close to the 80 hours mark.

"Season after Fall" i surely can recommend, as i simply enjoy its atmosphere and art. It is somewhat comparable to "Ori and the Blind Forest", yet Ori got near double the playtime, making it a all time great deal. Maybe "Season after Fall" is a bit of a clone, but a good one with its own art.

Whoops, my mistake.
Too many Reverie(s) out here, lol.

Also, at the moment my life is quite busy and shorter games will fill the occasional pause quite well.
Like, for example, 60 seconds. I just wished they would offer at least a small discount. As kind of an incentive. :-/
