Go buy it then.

I won't buy it there. Just stating facts thats all.

We can all bleat as much as we like, it may or may not convince GOG to release it right now. I still dont understand why they are delaying the release

Can you or someone else offer a link to where this was said?
These developments have had me debating whether I should retain my current KS-backer Steam key, or convert it over to a GOG key. If the Steam version can truly be run independently of the Steam client, then I'd be interested in just keeping the Steam key as-is. But, I certainly wouldn't want to do that if that were not the case.
If anyone could point to a source for this, that'd be great.

I remember them (Larian) saying that gog and Steam versions were a priority, even more so than the vault version. So you'll be waiting til after the gog version at least.
just look in the steam forums. Users have confirmed the game runs on it's own, even the 'developer' on the forums says so. http://steamcommunity.com/app/230230/discussions/0/522730701692941869/#p2

This is pretty nonsense , i am happy the backers are able to play now but why should others suffer and wait for gog galaxy ?? i am sure there are many who would have bought the game as the same build the backers are having rather than wait in line like second class citizens who are not backers :X

1. do not care about multiplayer
2. release the game for asap with the same build the backers are having now

i am not happy with the way non backers are treated in this case :X set the pre order page up and start selling

This is beyond ridiculous.

The game is complete and the single player is working perfectly. But it is put back 2 months here to coincide with the Galaxy release?

The game is delivered DRM free through Steam - thank you gOg for making my mind up for me.

Well could download the game and play now with the GoG Downloader.

Apart from the mess with the August release date which might be on GoG, I'm very disappointed how Larian handled this too.
I luckily didn't back the Banner Saga but they in a whole acted really cocky about the GoG release too.

D:OS is the first and last KS i backed why bother backing the Indies when they show the same Antics as the big ones.

I like Larian so it will probably not be the last game i get from them but my opinion did get considerably lowered.

I am a backer, and I'm not able to play now, there are still no GOG keys in the vault. I paid $500. You paid nothing. Calm down.

you paid 500 :O wow i will be a lot clam if you mention what all did you get for backing in that tier ? :D

You should be able to - people started downloading it 10 hours ago

i just read some of the backers are downloading gog versions already wow this sure is messed up

I'm fairly sure they disabled the GOG option for the moment till they have things sorted on their end and to prevent people accidentally nuking valid Steam keys (they seemed to have assumed those with duo keys would want two Steam or 2 GOG, and having the code nesscesary for one of each)

Yes it is, especially since some of us paid so much money. Frustrating, it's been like this since yesterday. Dragon Commander was fine with the releases, so I expect D:OS to be the same.
