Kirben: Tired of these kind of excuses, it really is just a complete lack of any care about GOG users. It has been 9 months since the update on Steam, and 6 months since someone asked about the updates for GOG.
That's a wild excuse, to me that shows they didn't do a good job handling what runtimes/APIs a game should enable depending on what storefront it's shipped on. vv221: Keep in mind that THQ Nordic are the ones who decided to only sell the Window build of Desperados 3 on GOG, while the Linux and Mac OS builds are exclusive to Steam. Their excuse being that it would not be worth it to provide support for these builds on several stores.
Of course, you pay the same price on GOG for a Windows build only than what you would pay on Steam to get builds for all platforms.
It's similar to the Linux chicken or egg problem; they don't support GOG or even linux/mac via GOG because there's a small userbase and there's a small userbase because these companies poorly support GOG. Of course, you pay the same price on GOG for a Windows build only than what you would pay on Steam to get builds for all platforms.
My favorite type of abandoning GOG is when I find out there's widescreen or controller support on Steam as an exclusive feature. Amazing.
