Braid is finally here :)

It should also be mentioned the aforementioned Dex will be coming soon according to the devs as posted by cybuff in another thread...

Most likely because you evaluated the numbers of users to be borderline acceptable. Cheers!

You can remove Braid now.

Well, after the release of
Barony
Release date: Jun 23, 2015 Price: $9.99
Score rank: 65% Userscore: 86%
Owners: 19,573 ± 3,406
Bundled once in the cheap tier as part of a Groupees Greenlight bundle - 4,379 copies sold
They may treat that a bit differently since one doesn't "know" the game will get Greenlit, but...what doesn't get greenlit these days.

I'd say the new Steam benchmark equivalent for acceptance is...
Owners: 15,194 ± 3,406

Pushing both above mentioned titles off borderline and into the acceptable range.

I think you need to adjust the benchmark after the release of Megamagic.

Nope. Not for a game which was in the pipeline and accepted for release.

But for months old games, if you don't have a minimum of 15,000 owners on Steam (possibly 20,000 as its not clear how GoG treats a single Greenlight bundle), you will probably be rejected as being "too niche".

Amok, once again you want to cherry pick based on one GoG release. Take a look at the numbers for the vast majority of games GoG has rejected vs. the ones they have brought well after initial release. You would see the difference.

Rejected
UnReal World
Owners: 4,960 ± 1,769
The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians
Owners: 6,290 ± 3,415
Starward Rogue
Owners: 6,102 ± 3,449

Accepted
Dex
Owners: 23,307 ± 4,701
Thea: The Awakening
Owners: 52,579 ± 5,761
Barony
Owners: 20,668 ± 3,612

You'd also see they aren't taking games that have been bundled a bunch of times in the past few years either.

I guess some people just don't want to get it...

All I can think of is Hatred, but I'm a little torn on that one.

What other games have they rejected guys?

I think that's the first time we have ever agreed!

And what have you done besides try to poke holes? I'm putting numbers to GoG's decisions. I'm explaining why GoG is likely rejecting many of these games. That there are good reasons. You just keep wanting to push the narrative that GoG has no clue to their own business; that all their decisions are misguided and random. They aren't. 4 out of 5 times, the rejections are obvious.

I know it's pretty common for people to like a game and then think everyone else likes it too. But for many of these games, the numbers just don't pan out. These games are not selling well on Steam. You can take the latest "forum darling" in Nelly Cootalot as another example. Another title people keep calling a serious GoG mistake, and despite what seems a fair bit of press, it also is failing to show any sales strength. Once again GoG actually does know what its doing. Of course, we'll have the obligatory "but people buy different games on GoG", but do they really?

um...no... I want to push 'the narrative' that you are just guessing just as much as anyone else.


edit - to clarify - I don't care what gOg sells or do not sells, I get the games I want anyway elesewhere, but I do have an issue with your divine knowledge in these matters.

I have an issue with you being a negative nanny. I post my facts. The data stands for itself.
