Soon™

"Expect"? Never

Hope for .... soon?

"Soon" on GOG doesn't mean anything, as it can mean anything between "at some point in the future, maybe" and "never."

Games like this have been "Soon" on GOG for years, and a lot longer than Dawn of War has been, for example:

https://www.gog.com/en/game/vampire_the_masquerade_bloodlines_2

This case they should have "Considering" and "In the near Future". To be more truthful.
Considering should be removed when they drop the idea or when resources available, passed to Near Future. The near future should be done in 1-2 years max..

"Anon." ~ The Bard

To the mild defense of GOG, nobody has Bloodlines 2 yet. Last I heard it was trapped in development hell. Dawn of War is a released games, so the Soon™ is a bit more egregious after all this time. Hopefully it doesn't end up being one of the games that gets announced but quietly pulled at a later date.

I think "Coming soon" should be changed, but, as it is very high up on the community wishlist, I'm glad GOG announced that it will be coming eventually.

That's not relevant now though, to GOG's continued listing of it as "Soon." As soon as GOG realized it wasn't actually coming "Soon," then they should have deleted the "Soon" page immediately (and they still should).

And it is also easily arguable that it still was not even coming "soon" even at the time when GOG first published it's "Soon" page, and before any news of its development Hell came out, and hence GOG probably never should have listed it as "Coming Soon" in the first place.

Besides, that's not the only example of a "Coming Soon" game on GOG that is either never coming, or only ever coming in the far distant, unforseeable future. Here is another example which further corroborates that "Coming Soon" means absolutely nothing on GOG:

As soon as people shut up about it or there wont be ANY surpise at all, now GO TO BED!

You can expect it whenever you want to. Only GOG knows when it'll show up, though.

It wasn't actually announced, right? Just that somebody noticed that the page appeared, and it's just been ten days since it was changed to the current package listing and, from what I gather, even less since it became visible. So the previous listing can probably be taken as just something internal, not for public use so obviously not justifying expectations of an actual launch. Now that it actually appears in the upcoming list, can start a "clock", but as others pointed out there had been "upcoming" titles that remained so for even years (remember Crawl?).

I don't care what they write as long as the game gets here.

It was announced last july when Space Marine was released.

The ruinous powers have a plot to delay the launch by an additional month for every such thread that comes into existence. Have faith, brothers, in the will of the Emperor and hold fast!
