So it has Linux system requirements... but no support for Linux? Make up your mind, GOG...

Honestly, very rarely nowadays there are video games that compete side by side with titles like the original FINAL FIGHT or Streets of Rage.

I've left the devs a message on facebook. Here's hoping it's just a small delay due to lack of Galaxy.

When is it getting removed because a Chinese paid troll claims it's existence is somehow offensive to the CCP terrorist regime?

Might be silly question, but

- is there a story campaign?
- hows controls using mouse+keyboard?

I may give this a go.

Another case where a "Deluxe Edition" costs more than the sum of its components.

Deluxe Edition = $18.59
Separate components = $17.97 (Base game $9.99, Art book $2.99, Soundtrack $4.99)

Pay 3% more to get the 3 items bundled together.

It usually happens in GOG, @cmclout. At least you have the option to buy separately the components of a ''Deluxe Edition'' version. Imagine the cases where you can't even choose that and you have to buy the full pack. It seems to me that paying more for the same thing is a whim and an injustice to the consumer's pocket!

This is due to the GOG's system, when different editions of the same game are essentially different catalog items and buying the base game + components does not turn your game into an extended version of a game. At the same time, the prices are usually similar to those in Steam, and as a result, we constantly receive such cases.
The problem has been around for many years.
At the same time, we get the second problem as a "bonus": more often than not, the extended version will be shown as "not purchased" if you buy base + all components (even if they are equal). Of course, no matter how much they are asked, they also do not add the option to hide games. In short, they are trying with might and main to make the store inconvenient for shopping and use.

I think the part that bugs me the most is that GOG has a bundle feature that nobody uses (the "Buy all series for $x.xx" beneath the system requirements). I saw that feature actually give a discount a few times when I started at GOG a few years ago. Nowadays, publishers may use that to offer a bundle of their games, but it's never at a discount; the "Buy all series" price is always the same as buying the games separately. It's frustrating when you have to pay more at GOG than you do at Steam for the same item(s) simply for the option of DRM-free.
