Yeah, I get your point but something must be done to solve this mess. Hopefully, tinybuild will reconsider their position and update the games regularly.

Don't forget that IF it's actually true that the publisher does not want to support games on GOG - which is basically what they said - even this game won't get updated anymore in the future anyhow. If however this was not true, they will update the other games as well and there's no reason to get them removed at all.

The best thing to do is to dump these people because they clearly do not believe in DRM free games. I don't understand why they even bothered selling their games on here. GOG needs to do a better job of making sure the people they do business with are behind DRM free games 100% and will be committed to updates before selling their games. It bugs me that they do business with people like this but won't sell games like Star Traders Frontiers.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Reject a bunch of games the community expressed interest in and keep the ones from the publisher that says GOG enables piracy seems a bit bizarre, to say the least.
Let me guess... you support TinyBuild's stance and you think more publishers should stop updating their games on GOG because hurr durr stkeviskie burr burr tatak tatak?

Do people who call for removal of TinyBuild games have any TinyBuild game in their gog library?

I don't think people who bought games from these published actually want the removal of their games because in that case they wouldn't see any patches for their games.

...no? i already outlined my positon. its also like been re-outlined above

i dont think gogie are big enuf in their own position as a gamin' uuuh platform then (ie outside o' that cd... projekt... red thang) to wholesale reject publies (big or no) with multi-games, that are on hereee to boot. s'one thang when its a single game that needs work that is refused.

an' yah, bigger or smaller picture it like harms gogie users who have a plethora (mmm, pleths) of these gamies that ARE bein' uuuh maintained then. you think publies an' devlies will even bother with those if teh gamies arent on here any moar? lolz NOPE

s'like that impression i heard - cuttin' off teh nose to spite teh face

dont miscategorize me as an edgelord or literal jfidjidfjsjfsf-speaker (obvs outside of teh occasional dalliance :P)

Nice joke!

And yes, I do have a game (from Kickstarter) with a tinyBuild as a publisher. Guess what? It doesn't get updates (in time).

I do but I have to say while some of TinyBuilds practices are pretty terrible all things considered they do update their games. Recently one of my fav games on gog updated (a few years late I suppose) which is a game called Punch Club. The patch itself added quite a bit of hefty convinient features. Anyway, regardless of my feelings of the publisher I still love it because its one of the better time wasters that I've played. People should seperate the developers from the publishers due to the nature of this thread and the discussion within it.

I do think that TinyBuild should just appologize and do better next time since its their responsibility to care (and nobody wants to become EA no matter how big or small they are :P). If TinyBuild ceases to exist then the games should find a new home.

I've only played Pathologic 2 so I can only vouch for that one, but some people in the reviews do seem to like some of their games as they exist in a DRM-free state on GOG.

Is it anti-consumer to leave them up? Is it corporate censorship to take them down? I don't really know. Who benefits by either? Will Pathologic 2 or Punch Club get updates if they're taken down?

The games are indeed poorly supported. However, if this can be rectified through a mutual agreement, it's probably not worth throwing the baby out with the bathwater, IMO.

This is good to hear. Thanks for letting us know something.

BTW was that one quoted employee speaking officially for Tinybuild or not? Do you guys/gals know that much?

As others said i'd rather have games DRM free than not have them at all.....better to have them than to let them fall into the digital ether as other titles have done.

Agreed, as long as the games remained for sale.
Maybe not punishable by law aka jail time, but perhaps a fin of some sort?

That's what I meant.

It's pretty plain to see nearly all their games are either out of date or getting updates months after Steam

The issue has hit the news reporting youtube-space too, this was just recommended to me:

No, it isn't acceptable at all.
