fronzelneekburm: Someone recommended LISA: The Painful to me and it turns out it isn't here (despite 400+ votes and 95% on Steam).
Curation™ strikes again?
MadalinStroe: But wouldn't that actually qualify as a niche game? 400+ people have expressed their interest in the last 5 years. And of those people how many would actually expect to buy the game discounted?
GOG speculates that the games they are releasing, would end up selling more than the games it rejects. The longer they curate games, the more successful the process
should become for GOG. Isn't LISA a clear example that the process actually works?
For once, I'm going to disagree. The Steam metrics for this title are great.
200,000-500,000 sold with 42 peak concurrent players yesterday (SteamSpy)
7,662 reviews (95% positive)
This for a title bundled just once and had never received more than a 75% discount.
Checking the graph, there are consistent reviews since its release in Dec 2014 with no crazy review spike associated with its single bundling.
This game hasn't had trouble selling on Steam unlike many of the titles certain people like to complain about, has excellent reviews, and isn't bundled for pennies or given away regularly for free.
The GoG Wishlist is an unreliable brigaded mess, but Steam metrics say to me that this title is worthy if GoG can get it despite its age.
