It would be too expensive.

Yeah, maybe hiring some local thugs would be a cheaper option. :-P

On a more serious note, ganging up is kind of what I'd like to avoid. Thus why the contact sheet isn't public. xd

Think it's a general routine of spambot programming, an attempt to confuse antispam measures, nothing that takes GOG forum specifics into account.
Ganging up does sometimes work though, adding pressure. Need some significant numbers though, something on the order of dozens is just annoying, probably, if done in that manner. Dozens of people writing individual, unique, messages, with their own arguments, on the other hand, can have quite an effect.

In between, can make a petition, with all the target devs as recipients and a generic text, asking them to submit patches, including offline, say no more than a week after they do to Steam or other major stores, add all additional content/features/packages that are sold elsewhere here as well, and if any features have been hard coded to require another store's framework and they lack the resources to port the code to GOG, including offline for singleplayer stuff bar achievements, as well, then ask for the price to be reduced to reflect the difference.

... question being why doesn't GOG do that, actually.

I comnpletely agree. We should not shy away to build up some pressure as long as we stay cilvil. We have every right to demand these missing updates and there's no need to feel as if we are begging for something we don't desevrve. The more people are asking the higher the pressure and the bigger the probability of success. Also, those hidden contacts are a joke - it's more than easy to get contacts of devs and publishers - most even post on discord facebook or twitter ... or even all of those.

I read about a certain clause in a GOG contract that requires devs to update in a timely manner after Steam has been updated. However I don't think GOG is caring enough whenever these devs don't do what they signed because GOG does not want to lose too many devs/publishers.

Remember reading that too, but what's the purpose of having a clause if it's not enforced? Even if true that it exists, might as well not be.

Well in the case of employment contracts sometimes companies put in unenforceable clauses to discourage people from actions. They rely on the average person not knowing it is unenforceable and thus often stick to it.

In the case of GOG maybe it's apathy maybe they just don't want developers to threaten to pull their game. Nordic & Darksiders 2 Deathinitive really did erk me though a year with the game having broken controller prompts but working fine on Steam and still being put on sale. There is a difference between indifferent to when a game is undated versus actively promoting a game you know from customer feedback is broken. At the absolute minimum GOG should have refused to ut the game on sale unless they got the problem fixed!

GOG keeps putting games that have had zero updates since release here on sale. Sometimes feels like they just don't care.

Added The Count Lucanor, missing updates.

Btw, they already replied positively :D

:^)

Updated Not Tonight with the missing One Love DLC.

For a second I thought "why didn't I receive an update flag?" - then I realized that I own this only on humble :)
