I was waiting so eagerly for the DLC. This is huge disappointment.
I will never buy any of his products again. :(
If he wants to shred his reputation for that 1% so be it...

Oh well, i was planning to buy it later when i had more money to spare
good thing i didnt seeing i woudnt get any update here wich steam get when the game vanishes from this store.
In fact, now i wont buy it on any platform since the dev think that the 1 % custommers arent worth shit.

Bought it just because I can't stand to see GOG lose another game. The only one I don't miss is Armello.

Pookina: All of the issues regarding support or whatever would have been dealt with if it was one build for all services. The same build that works on steam working on gog basically. That would reduce whatever costs he's complaining about greatly. But no, he just solves the problem by getting rid of gog.
Oh well. Can't say I'll miss the game. He can go back to Valve - not to worry. We're covered by other releases from other developers, with 2020 looking out to be a great year for GOG, update blue dots and Deus Ex shenanigans aside.
He cannot do a build for both because Steam requires DRM, I suppose. Oh well. Can't say I'll miss the game. He can go back to Valve - not to worry.

BTW, Supraland just released as one of the bundled games for Humble Choice/Humble Monthly. I guess the developer is generally pissed off because it isn't making as much as he hoped for.

MarkoH01: Valid question. The only "communication" I ever had with them was with their support when I tried for weeks getting my account back (which was hacked years ago) and I ended up feeling as if I was the thief. It worked in the end but I am sure this would have been easier with GOG. However the difference is not between GOG and Steam it is about GOG earlier and GOG today. GOG once DID communicate much more with the customers and they made us feel as if we are all part of one happy family and that changed drastically. That is the reason why people still complain about lack of communication - not because other stores are doing it better. If they weren't once that great people would not be so disappointed ... especially those that are long time customers.
It's not just communication. I remember when they decided to abandon their "One price for all" policy and accept regional pricing, when they started selling OSTs and extras as addons rather than including them by default and when they decided to make a client. Recently, they abandoned the downloader.
Old GOG was cool because it was very different, which is what drew me to them. But as time passed by, they tried very hard to be a direct competitor to Steam and became less and less different.
They still have the DRM-Free thing, but I feel like they lost some of their identity.
Stuff like the Insomnia Sales made little sense but were super fun and strenghtened the community a lot, making people feel less like customers and more like a sort of a family. Now I sometimes can't help but see GOG as "Steam light", in a way.
I still like GOG the best, and I may sound too harsh, but I can't in all honesty say it grew for the better.

Less comunication is pretty normal as a store grows, i havent seen any digital store where this doesnt happen when the custommer base grows more than the staff can handle
but sure, gog staff coud have commuinicated more.
The client was a result of votes from the customers so i dont see any valid critique there either.
the removal of the downlader was anounced years ago that it was going away or at least they woudnt update it annymore
One price for all complaint i do agree with but i can understand the reasoning behind it.
The addons and music have become more complicated
music artist and artist/programmers have gotten more rights and more pay than they used to so i can understand the reason behind this as well(After all we do want to pay artist and musicians for their work).
Does it suck that the music and the dlc is not included annymore at day one for cheap like it used to?
Sure, but i can always wait for a Goty edition, Gold edition, Complete edtion or whatever or a sale
so i dont really feel that salty about it.

Swedrami: For instance - one would think that immediately reposting @GOGcom's tweet about the RTX 2080 Ti competition on the official Cyberpunk 2077 twitter account would be a good way to bring more attention to GoG and the opportunity to directly support CD Projekt RED by pre-ordering/purchasing Cyberpunk 2077 on GoG... but what is the latest tweet on @CyberpunkGame instead? This.
Also, they could have held the contest (primarily) on Twitter. (and maybe accept forum entries for those who refuse social media) 16601 (at the moment) replies will get you trending! Dear Supraland developer. Supraland has been on my wishlist since its release here. I was waiting for it to drop to €5.99 or so and would have bought it. (I buy many games, if I bought everything full price I'd go bankrupt) May have considered €6.99 or €7.99 depending on my mood.
I also see that on Steam you've discounted the game to €9.99 not once, not twice, but three times this year alone. On GOG it was discounted to €11.99 four times and to €11 just once, starting March 16.. When it had already been on sale for €9.99 on Steam for over a week! (since March 7) So most people who were interested during that period would have already bought it on Steam.
With that strategy, it's a miracle you even got 1% of sales. Most sales are made during.. sales, and you're not matching the sales on Steam.

Their main page is a mess.. I don't touch it except for freebies that demand you visit it.
The forums are my main bookmark to GOG.

I've never heard of it.
95% of the time when I buy digital games it's because they have a significant sale. I'm talking 50% off or better. Otherwise it's better to wait.
I only pay full price when I get physical media or it's something I'm REALLY excited about playing. Which isn't often.
Maybe he should have put it on sale before deciding GOG wasn't worth his time?

Sure you can make your own bookmarks as you say
but it will in the end grow to a large list making it harder to find what youre looking for.
I wish gog had at least some subforums whic had made it more easy to navigate and not just placing almost anything under general.
Oh, and i dont mean the game subforums

Well, if the GOG version really was selling so poorly as he said, I can't really blame him. I don't know whose "fault" it is:
1. The publisher: he released the GOG version months after the Steam version, and not sure how well they supported the GOG version before this either. Maybe they themselves made the GOG version feel like an inferior version of the game, or maybe the GOG version cost more and didn't get as deep discounts as the Steam version, or whatever.
2. GOG: maybe GOG didn't promote the game enough on GOG, or GOG just isn't competitive platform to sell that particular type of indie games? Maybe the game indeed was "too niche" for the GOG store?
3. GOG customers: why didn't YOU (me!) buy the game? Or even several copies of them? Huh? HUH? We customers let both the publisher and GOG down, for not buying the game?
Since I am not sure who to blame, I blame God. F U, God!
This also reminds me about the complaints about "GOG curation". So when you hear the news later that GOG has rejected Supraland 2 from the store (in case the developer so decided), don't complain to GOG. Maybe GOG just remembered that earlier the developer wasn't willing to support the GOG version, and/or the sales data in the GOG vaults reveals that these kind of "too niche" games just don't sell well on GOG.
1. Offer a free Steam key of the game to those who want it.
AND
2. To those who don't want a Steam key (because they don't want a Steam version, but the GOG version; after all why else did they (you) buy it on GOG instead of Steam in the first place), the publisher should offer refunds, and the game would be pulled from GOG accounts of those individuals who choose this option.
After all, if the GOG version sold so poorly as the developer said, surely it wouldn't affect their financial situation much at all to offer the refunds to GOG users who want it.
If the publisher still did those two actions, then I wouldn't have any complaints for them anymore. Then they would have fully fulfilled their duties to the humankind.
