I think I need to quote you, just for truth.

26 December, 2020.

It's been three weeks and three days of GOG's inaction towards my games.

Shame on you, GOG.

I kept hearing rumors that they are, or a least could be, automatically generated, but nice to see some official source for it.

Still a few questions spring to mind (not sure if you know the answers, but just stating them):

1. Are the game installer names and version numbering also automatically generated, or does a human have to supply them to the system? I have no idea if the Galaxy versions of GOG games have similar version numbering that the offline installers could just use.

2. Some installers have separate patches, some don't. How does the automated system decide whether separate patches are generated, or are they generated automatically at all?

3. Does the automated system generate separate language versions, or does it do it the Cyberpunk way, packing all different language versions into one biiiig installer? Or does it support both ways and the developer just has to decide which way to go?

4. If the whole process is automated, why are there still sometimes quite long (days, weeks?) delays before the offline installers are updated, compared to the Galaxy versions?

This is honestly why Steam will always beat GOG, a game is updated instantly on Steam. Some devs just don't take GOG seriously and probably never will.

Shame on Gog for many things, to be honest. Let us see what will happen here.

They really need to spend some time on their automation process. Clearly it wasn’t finished but whoever was building it is probably working on another important system instead of finishing this one. Priorities are likely working on more revenue-building systems instead of the offline installers that few of us use.

I’ve been burned on it a few times high is why now I purchase all multiplayer games on Steam (it killed me not to send that sale to gog for Divine Div OS2 - because I wanted to keep an offline installer and play with friends), but they’ve made their bed and now have to lie in it.

still not updated?:O
but if we don't get offline installers then what's the point to buy at gog and not on steam?

Exactly. So I try to buy my single player games on gog. But for multiplayer games, I can't get play with friends when waiting a week or more for updates to come.

Gog needs to get their priorities actually straight. What they *think* brings revenue really doesn't matter as much as their core customer base - people who want to own working games. So get their automation fixed for offline installers, make the process seamless, and then boom - you're done. Get back to work on making galaxy do the things you want it to do.

Failure to do so is a failure in their identity. And really, that might be what they want. But continuing to fail in their identity will push many people to steam for sales. "Buy on gog so we get 100% of the money" only works if people care about the company.

Modern games are designed to work without a traditional install process, so I don't think they're as big a part of DRM free for those as people here act like. You could just copy and paste Cyberpunk's Galaxy files to an external and treat it as a backup just fine. I do WANT the offline installers, don't get me wrong, but I'd absolutely buy on GOG over Steam if only GOG allowed launching without the client.

You still haven't told us what these bugs are that make the game so unplayable. Why is that?

I will ask again! What are the bugs that prevent you from playing the game?

And there is always that one boring guy in a thread, that constantly seeks attention.

1. I'm not a guy. I'm a woman.

2. If Chris had answered the first time, I wouldn't have to repeat myself. I find it odd that he refuses to specify what bugs he's experiencing. How is that seeking attention?

I don't read your posts as attention seeking - I think you're asking a perfectly reasonable question.

1. Who cares if you are a woman or not. You are not any less annoying with your current behaviour.

2. Chris owes you nothing. He is purposely ignoring you, because you are not a Gog staff member. You definitely won't solve the issue he has, regarding the game's files.
