First off, let me thank Ziggurat Games for the great sale currently, where I was able to pick up some games, including a free one, at great prices, plus gift two free ones to a friend.
I have almost 20 games from Ziggurat Games now here at GOG and really appreciate them doing business with GOG.
However, they have many more games that simply aren't here ... not yet anyway ... and I don't know the reason(s) for that.
Maybe a year ago, I wrote to them asking about when WWII GI would turn up here, and my surprise that it didn't turn up when the companion game NAM did.
They kind of apologized and said they could give me no timeline about WWII GI, but it is their intent for all their games to be both available here and at Steam. I recently asked them again, and got no response ... I'd also asked them if it was DRM-Free at Steam.
Checking out Steam for WWII GI, I see that it has been available from them since about 2016.
Checking out Ziggurat Games, it appears they have only been around since some time in 2018.
There are quite a lot of games at Ziggurat Games that are what I consider quite good ones, that can be bought from Steam, including a bunch of hunting games.
When are those games, including WWII GI going to finally appear at GOG?
While we do occasionally get some good games here from Ziggurat Games, sometimes it seems like we get the dregs, rather than the really good stuff.
So who is at fault I wonder ... or what?
Is it down to special deals with Steam ... or is GOG curation holding them up?
Or is Ziggurat Games trying to milk them at Steam for as long as possible, just seeing GOG as a place to get a few extra sales when Steam sales drop off?
Or is it due to some prior licensing issue?
I'd sure like to have some idea of if or when those games are going to turn up here at GOG?
P.S. I've certainly seen WWII GI etc on sale at Steam a few times, and the same at the likes of IndieGala.
