How so?

i contacted gog about getting a refund. they said they'll make an execption and give me store credit. store credit doesn't get me the game on steam.

gog should just negotiate with the devs, and give us the option to revoke our access to downloading the game in exchange for a steam key.

i'm going to be super pissed if the end of janurary comes and i don't see those promised updates. will it be at my loss? no, i'll still play the game on steam via the steam share. so they get 1 less customer, but 1 more player they'll have to support + bad feedback on gog and just basically it's their loss.

didnt that just get a full release? wtf

Why not personally ask the devs for a key? GOG isn't going to push you towards their competition.

Too bad! That sucks.

Oh well, who cares, it's Hinterland's loss.

Except when they do. A lot of that is due to their retarded fucking "curation" (Atom RPG and Dusk not being here yet -even though the devs want to- are the two latest examples, and I think their refusal to carry Humongous games pushed you towards Steam as well), the gradual chipping away at their "values", the ingenious plan to give free gog games to Steam customers and now irreperably breaking their own website to celebrate their 10th anniversary.

The Long Dark has a recently Overwhelmingly Positive (3,617) rating on Steam and an overall Very Positive (41,865) rating, I'd say you're losing quite a bit and so is GoG. It's a pitty to see this game go. :(

Developers in general have proven time and time again they cannot be trusted with updates here though. I'm not going to take the risk. Also, I'm one of those strictly-no-DRM-people, so buying elsewhere is out of the question (unless there is a non-Steam DRM-free build I'm unaware of).
Besides, I love lots of games most people hate and don't like many that others find fantastic, so the rating on Steam does not really mean much for me.

NOOOOOOO! fuck how'd I miss this???

I couldn't wait to buy this game (saw it way back when in a game magazine - LOVED the art style and plot) but I KEPT HOLDING OFF because the huge draw of the game for me was the campaign. It was talked about way before the game even released as In Dev. I always sort of "drift" in survival games but here was one that was finally going to have a proper campaign..

..so I kept holding off buying it, not wanting to risk firing it up and "burning out" playing Survival mode. "As soon as the full campaign releases... I'm IN!" ...

Damnit. Now I knw how the Cthulhu people felt :( Hopefully I end up feeling the same way when this returns. Can't believe I missed this - I *REALLY* wish removal posts were Blue Tagged as announcements instead of snuck in there :(

Guess I can stop waiting for it to show up in a Daily Deal.

Yes, some words have this effect. It was a temporary measure during the Era of Trolls that predated the last community manager, and as you can see it is fool-proof! XD

EDIT: also, it has proven to be not so temporary.

I mean directly, ie providing Steam keys.

Shame on GOG losing it. It's one of the few Steam games I still play. Was looking forward to getting while on sale for the holidays. Oh well, Steam un-install will have to wait a little longer.



Is the operative word here "yet" (i.e. GOG didn't want to do early axes) or did GOG actually reject the game?
