I'd rather have a game that can be completed and has graphical glitches than game without glitches that can't be completed.

How hard is it exactly to update a game? Literally it would take a few minutes if that. This is why GOG will continue to lose market to Steam, because they aren't even doing the basic functions of a digital distributor properly.

There were a few more (Benny also disappeared from what I recall), and some did have work-arounds.
And the list of bugs here is mostly of the glitch variety (being able to read a note again and again? Incorrect reply on using an item? Duplicate items? Walking backwards?)
Edit: And we did have the discussion before.

How exactly is Steam able to push out updates so much more quickly than GOG? Is it because GOG doesn't have Steam's framework (or whatever the right term is) that allows devs to add them directly, or because GOG does testing for each update, or something else? Will Galaxy help stem the "second-class citizen" idea?

1) Steam/Humble Store: Developers/Publishers directly control the release of updates.
2) GOG: Developers/Publishers send their updated builds to GOG. The new builds are then being tested/checked out by the staff and full or patch installers are being created & uploaded to the site.
