gamingrn: For now at least, confirm Redhook to the list of those jumping ship with the release of Darkest Dungeon II only on other stores (I know this was mentioned at the start of the thread, but now the official release date has passed with no sign of it coming here).

Also include Yacht Club, once they completed Treasure Trove, they left GOG and have no apparent interest in returning with Pocket Dungeons, DIG, or other pending titles.

On the way out may include Goblinz Studio with Legend of Keepers getting free add-on monsters elsewhere but seemingly not here.

This is very disappointing because the combination of classic/old games here and newer indie ones is what really drew me in to this store, but with so many leaving (or skipping in the first place), the DRM-free appeal is starting to no longer be enough. Modern AAA type games hold almost no interest for me (spending almost your entire budget on graphics and offering weak gameplay is not a good formula in my opinion, and no I am not arguing all AAA games are bad; there are obviously good ones out there) so the lack of them was never an issue, but losing out on content or follow-up games from a developer because they have left is a big problem.

With such tough competition out there now as has been well-covered here, it's difficult to find a competitive answer that will satisfy both developers and GOG. Maybe allow developers to run a 1 day or flash sale once in a while where GOG minimizes their cut, or GOG drops their cut on a largely marked down first game in a series while a sale price is issued on the DLC or sequel with normal cuts in place? It would be nice to see a good solution come about.

Edit: Maybe something similar to the old movie theater release model where theaters took a very small percentage the first 2 weeks I think, then reverted to normal splits. Probably not feasible, hopefully they try something.

Ancient-Red-Dragon: Not exactly, because the GOG version of Skyrim has a colossal asterisk/caveat attached to it: namely, that it uses a different build version number than the Steam version does, of which the consequence is that many of the really good mods would require a GOG-specific version in order to be made to work with the GOG version of Skyrim, but the authors of many/most of those mods are literally never going to make any GOG-specific version.

Meaning, the GOG version of Skyrim is vastly less worthwhile and a vastly inferior product to the Steam version of Skyrim which has full mod compatibility (mod compatibility which accounts for 95% of the value of Skyrim as a game).

And this phenomenon which I just described is another symptom of the kind of malaise that GOG always suffers from, and that the OP of this thread is also getting at, albeit from a different perspective.

Very rare are the occurrences where a GOG game is 100% on par with and in zero ways worse than its Steam and/or EGS counterparts. And certainly the GOG version of Skyrim is nowhere close to being on par with the Steam version.

angelblue: There are just a few issues that need to be resolved before they make them available. You'll have to be patient.

octalot: A negative review during early access is probably staying on the store page forever

gamingrn: On the way out may include Goblinz Studio with Legend of Keepers getting free add-on monsters elsewhere but seemingly not here.

angelblue: I asked Goblinz about it. They haven't forgotten about GOG. There are just a few issues that need to be resolved before they make them available. You'll have to be patient.

This was stated by a person from the studio:
"There's no short term solution here, but maybe we'll see how to make them available to everyone, everywhere
Nothing for sure yet but I'll keep you posted!"

BreOl72: Well, at least those reviews are clearyl marked as "In Development reviews" and can be taken with a grain of salt by anyone who bothers to read them after release.

octalot: Well, can you take a look at the Snowtopia page and work out why no-one's added a review after it left "In Development"?

Syphon72: Yes, the guy who created the boycott thread, discord mode of the one store, and constantly promoted that one store on GOG forums. Is not suspicious. *eyeroll* haha

I never once saw him call the other store out for their shenanigans.

Syphon72: I never understand the liking for Achievements. I remember people using that as why 360 was better console than PS3 back in the day. To me, it was the games that made the system better.

seppelfred: Oceanhorn 2 isn't here as well. It was released this week elsewhere.

Alexim: With the missed release of Wizard with a Gun and The Talos Principle 2, it certainly appears that Devolver Digital has stopped publishing games on GOG, at least on day one.
