Hawat: There were 50k+ backers, surely this must mean there are quite a bit of people interested in this game?
It definitely means that those 58.800 who are interested in the game, paid already for their version of the game via KS.

So the real question is: how many more GOG users would be interested in this...and would they be willing to pay $25 to $30 for it? (if that's the MSRP)

amok: But it is really not professional not giving any response / feedback.
On the other hand, it's also not very professional to go and tell in an interview that someone you (allegedly!) wanted to do business with, didn't respond to your emails (if that's really what happened here - I tend to be a little sceptical when I read such comments)

Considering that 25$ to 30$ is well over for my limit, and this is from an unproven dev, I have my doubts?

Most people dont even care about kickstarter anymore, so yea if 50k people paid for this on ks many people who havent heard about it on ks or dont want to use ks will buy it.
Looks more like the game will be around 10 $ since that was the price needed to get the game when you back it.
low rated

In contrast, GOG love to champion themselves on social media as gamer-friendly and paragons of free speech, but they wouldn't even return our emails

Leroux: Meh. What does one have to do with the other? Sounds like a pretty cheap dig at GOG. We don't even know what was written in the e-mails and how long they waited for an answer. It doesn't have to mean anything, with regards to whether GOG would accept the game or not.

That being said, judging from the Kickstarter page I couldn't really blame GOG for being sceptical. There's not much to see yet apart from sexy pics and cutscenes and puerile writing.
1. They likely did it(good or bad) to get more PR and get GOG's attention ton their emails.

2. I agree we don't know much...which is why ANY answer from an official source would be a godsend at this point.

3. Why is it purile iyo? Because it's lewd, or because it's lewd yet poorly written?

Vainamoinen: Seems to me the Subverse devs got what they aimed for.

Personally, I'm pretty sure devs for whom GOG is an afterthought are devs for whom GOG customers will always remain what is called "second class citizens" in these parts.

But that's, just, like, my opinion, man.
That could be true, but they could also just be trying to "get back" at GOG's "rejection" by shoving the fact they're going with steam(for now/solely/etc) in GOG's face.

amok: Well, yes... I can see why gOg do not want to deal with Studio FOW (don't click, for the love of god - DO NOT CLICK. very NSFW). But it is really not professional not giving any response / feedback.
Dammit now you've assured I HAVE to click9damn steisand effect). *grumble grumble*

As for the price/whether people would buy it here: VTMB2 is doing well(so I heard) in preorders just because it has some talented people working on it and the "promise" of wuality from the fist game's popularity/success....and VTMB2's editions go from 50+-80+ dollars.

Too bad the KS is closed....I would've loved to get the swag/physical extras that came with this title. They likely will be both interesting and possibly collector's items(due to their subject matter being rare in mainstream gaming in western countries) would be rare/worth saving for future valuation spikes as well.

GameRager: 1. A. I pointed the fact out that one can get a refund on KS to show that investing in their kickstarter is about as dangerous as investing in a preorder of VTMB2 on GOG.
You can't get a refund on kickstarter.

avatar
BreOl72: Well, GOG is offering refunds for pre-orders. So nobody has to buy the cat in the bag. If pre.release reviews tell you the game sucks - just ask for a refund - done!
GOG can do refunds and not sweat much if it's a handful of formerly over-optimistic people getting cold feet. They'd be screwed if a game they offered for preorder turns out to be objectively shit and people run to refund en masse, not to mention they'd be stuck supporting a shit game for the few people who don't run.

*shrug* it is not, but it has nothing to do with gOg's behavior. it is alos about whom to expect professionalism from.
I think they should at least respond to their mail, but I can see why gog would want to distance themselves from those devs.
On a side note, I googled the devs name, big mistake...

Subverse casually slipped into the list of most funded Kickstarter games with a whooping £1,668,626. What's notable about this is that GOG have picked up nearly every other game on the most funded Kickstarter games unless its an MMO or on console. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Torment: Tides of Numenera, Pillars of Eternity, Broken Age, Yooka-Laylee, Wasteland 2, Battletech, Divinity: OS2, Kingdom Come, Shadowrun, the list goes on. Crowdfunded games have been as much a part of GOG's identity these past years as old games.
Well i would buy that game, if it would be released on GoG.
Who would not? Don t lie here, we all know were lewd af, aye?

Let the game be finished, then see if we gonna get a GoG release.
Simple as that ;)

darthspudius: In reality, it doesn't sound like GOG is missing out on much.
This game will be by far the porn game with the largest budget and production values ever, will the "game" parts be good? Probably not, but I'm interested to see just what FOW can do with millions of dollars for animation, they already do pretty good work on shoestring budgets. 3D CG porn is an interesting and unexplored thing, it's expensive to make but it can look amazing (better than real porn). Check out some of those Overwatch CG porn segments, they're only a few seconds long but they look great, imagine stuff like that but with high-budgets behind it. There's been PC porn games in Japan for a while, games like Artificial Academy 2 and Koikatsu as recent examples, but they all have potato budgets.

Seriously lol'ing at the reactions to this game, it's like we've gone back to the 12th century and sexuality is a sinful topic. Blowing out someone's brains with a double-barrelled shotgun? GOOD. Two computer-generated characters engaging in intercourse, BAD!

Meh, I'm not sure the developers would even be interested in creating a censored version just to release here.

Then again, when they consider GOG a "paragon of free speech" (pffftttt), they may not even be aware that GOG doesn't have an adult filter like Steam does.

Text from the £10 tier on KS:

"get an early copy of Subverse on Steam complete with a discount off the retail price as our thanks for supporting early development."

So, the MSRP should be at least £20 , since that is the next regular priced version. And 20 British Pound are ~ $ 26,40
Meanwhile BoneCraft is coming to Steam .

Not my thing, but GOG you guys really need to stop ignoring devs, especially when they get welcomed with open arms on Steam. <3

I mean GOG ignored Zachtronics, a company that already had 2 other award winning games on GOG's store but for some inexplicable reason required 3 months to get Opus Magnum on GOG, to the point where even the dev had no clue why it was not approved and had to literally guess that 'it looked like a mobile game'
