They should be obligated by contract to update their games within a set time frame.

Why even bother publishing a game DRM-free if you're afraid of the pirates?
If only they invested more energy and work into updating their games and show people that they care, with good word spreading around part of the pirates would start buying their games and support them. But with their way of thinking I'm afraid that kind of behaviour will only cause the opposite effect.

If GOG team cannot help open their eyes for them about these matters, i don't know who can.

Because it's lucrative for them. They get money from this and there are many customers that will keep buying their games even if they already have been sold an outdated version before.

It's sad that tinybuild have not changed their policy a bit since the last time this came up (and it has come up several times over the last years) – and it's sad that GOG will happily promote every new game (and old outdated games via sales) that they publish.

GOG, would you please once and for all boot this awful publisher from your store? It's bad enough how many games on here treat your customers poorly, but when a publisher is consistently doing that and you enable them, even promote them, it's like you don't even care. You reject good games from developers who would treat your customers right while continuing to sell and bring attention to those who treat us like trash. Have a little more respect for yourself and your customers than that.

100% agree

tinyBuild, tinyBrain.

With games that shitty, piracy should be the least of their concerns. lol

It is not smart to sell a significantly worse product than what the pirate gets. This drives many to piracy who would not otherwise. tinyBuild is damaging the business for other publishers this way. Some of those publishers seem to love suing each other so why not sue tinyBuild as well? Not enough money in it I guess.

Gotta say, looking though the list, TinyBuild does publish a bunch of Below Average indies.

Agreed. This publisher does not belong on GOG. They are selling outdated products. Now we have direct confirmation for this behaviour beeing their official policy towards GOG customers.

Off topic but speaking about kicking a developer / publisher out of the Gog catalog : Vlambeer ( their games were published by Devolver Digital )

Seconded.
If you support a market leader after the fact comes out they use slave labor your saying slave labor is fine so long as you share in the profits from it.
If you don't complain loudly and forcefully to your elected representatives about local police corruption because you figure it''s better off having faith your being protected and not possibly being fingered, well you deserve to have evidence planted on you when they need a new scapegoat.
In this case if your a large distributer whose business centers around a few choice core ideals and you do business with people who are eroding those ideals you'd deserve being put out of business because your not holding to those ideals that make your business possible.
GOG can't win being anouther steam'alike; the simple fact of the matter is people don't want multiple distributed apps for their gaming library and will only purchase the best value (lowest price, fullest content) after that fact because price will always be competed over between distributors to attain nigh on parity.

Luftrausers - A game breaking bug prevents game completion. Fix not released on GOG. "The developers have not made the effort to release the update to other platforms" -ForesakenEagle.

According to Games that treat GOG customers as 2nd Class v2 That's not good at all :(

reacting to op and conversation with Tinybuild employee:

oh my, the person is litteraly saying that people who BUY drm free titles are pirate or purchase their game at gog so that the game can be pirated....

HELLO ? calling customers who paid as "pirates" ?

yes yes i know they didnt exactly say that, but it's so confuse in their mind that they litteraly merge legit sale, paying customer, drm dfree version and pirate altogether in one same bag of goo !

it is SO stupid that i am short of word to ever try to deconstruct such a confusing mess of a missinformed (or illfaithed) line of thinking

if they release dlc or deluxe editions here, the content will get pirated and be available on the internet instantly .? hey wake up you noodlehead: those games, contents, dlc, deluxe editions and soundtracks ARE already available on the net, and they are using the up-to-date / complete steam build as a base that has then been cracked.

So if those content you REFUSED to release on gog because you fear of it being stolen is already available on the net... try to make an educated guess and tell me if it is the gog build used there ? hard chance, as the pirated build is of higher patch version and features every dlc, soundtracks and bonuses of deluxe ed...

You would be fantastic... as an attraction of a zoo behind bars ! because elsewhere you are a joke (a bitter one) !
