I made a wishlist entry for it in case anyone wants to vote on it:

Into.... The Wonderful. AAAAAHHHAAAAHAAAHAAAHAAHH...

But seriously, if GOG declined this game, something is very wrong.

EDIT:
I hope the coming Blood remaster is going to be on GOG, given that the original game is already here.

$20 for a platformer from the 90s? Geez, no thanks.

The remaster is published by Night Dive, right? Of course it's going to come here.

You dont' have to buy it. But some people will, also it will be cheaper or discounted soon of course.

I watched a gameplay video and to be honest: I would not buy it.
And I love platformers and old games.

But this one just looks too slow and not very entertaining.
My two cents.

Edit: have you asked the devs why they don't release their game on, let's say, itchio.io?
If they are really interested to bring a DRM free version of their game on the market, this would be a way to go, no?

Also good points.

From Robot Riot's FAQs:

Q: On which platforms will the game be released?

A: For the start, the game will come out on Xbox One and Steam (PC and Mac).
Other console versions for Nintendo Switch and PS4 are already in the making and will be released early 2019. There are also plans to release a mobile version for iOS and Android, but there are no release dates available yet.

To me, that doesn't look, like they ever intended to do a DRM free (=GOG) version.

And after the lackluster salesnumbers, they feel even less inclined to put in the extra work to strip whatever DRM they may have used, and integrate GOG-Galaxy instead.

I'd buy it.

At the time, perhaps. But a 30 year old platformer from the days before smooth scrolling was mastered, maybe not so much today. Even in 1991, there were several better games that I could readily list.

Just slapping a shiny layer of paint on a game isn't going to cut it when we have games such as The Messenger, Shovel Knight, Volgarr the Viking, and many others which took the lessons from 30 years ago and actually improved on them; unlike say Mega Man 9 which was such a hamfisted loveletter to nostalgic wanking that it was entirely to the game's detriment.

Looking at a short clip of gameplay, Gods is a game with such glacial pacing that it makes Ghost & Goblins look like Sonic the Hedgehog.

Me too.
Maybe not for $20 but for something around $15-$10, sure.

I was just playing the original Godz over the weekend. It's fine. It is a bit slow but that's okay because it's a game that demands you play somewhat cautiously and you need to learn the level layouts and what traps you might spring (aside from having a little bit of jumping, it's really not so similar to Messenger, Shovel Knight, Volgarr, etc.). It's also beautiful, as Bitmap Bros. games usually are. Most likely the reason GOG doesn't want it is because it's a crappy remake that's well overpriced. If GOG could somehow get the original game and sell it for $5.99, that would be a no-brainer.

I'd prefer the old version here too. I don't want another overpriced 'remaster'.

Does it have a new soundtrack then? Or no soundtrack at all?

Again, this is from what I've read and not first hand experience, but it appears to have a completely new soundtrack. Here is a blurb from the official game site:

"While the original gameplay and levels have been preserved very accurately, the new version features more state of the art HD looks based on a complete 3D based refurbishment, lighting effects and an extraordinary new soundtrack."
