I have often wondered why the announcement of a removal from the catalog at GOG is not a fixed process in which GOG members are informed, for example, two weeks in advance.

I can only explain it as follows:

1. GOG doesn't work according to processes at all.

2. GOG sees no advantage from the "few" short-term sales and uses the underlying psychological pressure that games could quickly disappear again in order to sell more in total. Especially among passionate gamers who actually have more than enough games in their backlog.

Unfortunately, both options don't create such a nice picture on GOG.

But perhaps there is a completely different and, in a positive sense, understandable reason.

From what I've read, billing with GOG is said to be very time-consuming and complicated. If I'm not mistaken, this also has something to do with the Polish tax system, but I'm really stumped.

If the sales figures are too low and don't justify this effort, then I can understand the developers.

I wish GOG could absolutely minimize the effort for developers/publishers, then there would actually only be licensing reasons to remove a game here.
