Crosmando: I just downloaded Act of Aggression from Piratebay
You should send this to the developer .

Randalator: There is no additional income if the cost of maintaining a GOG version is higher than the revenue from GOG sales, you dense motherfucker.

Crosmando: The chances of that are fucking zero my friend.
Can you show me the math behind that?

Crosmando: GOG is a business, it's their JOB to get it here, if they can't it's because they have failed as a company, nuff said.
You're obviously not an entrepreneur. GOG is a business, it's their job to make money. If they don't make money, they have failed as a company. You may not agree with how they have chosen to make money, but it doesn't really matter, they don't have to answer to you.

Either way, claiming that GOG's business decisions are to blame for your piracy makes you look like an entitled moron. 'nuff said.

muntdefems: It's more than that, really. Even if the benefits from GOG sales outweigh the costs of maintaining a GOG version, chances are the devs could've obtained a better yield should they have spent that money on improving the (say) Steam version. Opportunity cost, you know.

JMich: If to get those $1000/month you had to pay up $24000 up front, that would mean that it wouldn't recover your money for 2 years. So even though it would be making them an extra grant per month, it would be costing them money for two years.
Basic economics say you don't only see your monthly income, you also calculate the cost to get said income.

RWarehall: You can learn a lot by actually reading the reviews and not judging whole swaths of people (like Steam users) in one broad stroke.

I read the reviews, even the "most helpful" "Positive" review calls the game buggy and rough on the edges. Can't imagine the mess the game was at release.

And one important overall theme besides the bugginess...
The single player campaign is bland and the AI is dumb as bricks. So we are talking about a $45 game mainly focused on multi-player.
I'm not arguing about the game's greatness, it might be mediocre (I'll let you know when I play/finish it!) but it and Grey Goo and like the only traditional (base-building, resource-collecting) RTS games in recent years which 1) Aren't Starcraft 2, and 2) Had a budget more than a potato.
Hey! I like potatoes!

Then let me offer a suggestion. Pick your fights better. Because in this case, looking at the reviews and user comments, I can certainly see why GoG didn't want to sell this at the $45 price point.

And when GoG says "too niche", the meaning should be pretty simple...GoG doesn't think it will sell enough for it to be worth it to them. And while they do have titles that are similarly expensive and low rated on Steam (Blackguards and Stronghold Crusader 2), those titles had far more hype and might also get them in the good graces of the publisher.

Okay...let me see if I'm getting this straight...

You wanted the game because it's a genre you evidently enjoy, a genre that's been under-represented in recent years.
When you saw that it existed, you waited. When you saw that it wasn't coming here, your next plan was to take it without paying, thus providing somewhere between zero and fuck-all in terms of actual support to one of the only two games that have the structure you like.
(Because companies have learned how to pay their operational costs with hopes and dreams alone, it seems. It's not as if they need actual money to survive.)

Apparently you like the genre enough to piss and moan about it not being here, then swipe it, managing to exemplify what some developers tend to think when they think DRM-free, in that people will just steal their products.

Then, on top of that heaping pile of counterproductive willful retardation, you broadcast it, slapping together the traits of petulant childishness, moronic self-absorption and ultimate indifference towards the longevity of what you claim to care about.

You are like a world-class marksman in the shooting yourself in the foot competition.

Plants track sunlight. And they don't even have photoreceptor. You are claiming to be the intellectual equal of a dock leaf.
