Leroux: True, but on the other hand they have released several indie games in the past that I think were even less known (I don't want to judge them as being less original, as I haven't played them). And SwingSwingSubmarine is a very sympathethic company in my eyes and BTM a DRM-free quality product, so I'm kind of sad to see one of my favorite developers approach GOG of their own accord and get such a reply. I could understand if GOG didn't want to concentrate on indie games too much, but after the new indie offensive they launched, it puzzles me even more ... Humble still seem to have the edge on GOG when it comes to indie games.
I agree. Can't really understand why they rejected it. Blocks That Matter was in a well sold Humble Bundle, so I think many people played it (and everybody that I know that played it also enjoyed it). So I would expect at least some interest in the "sequel". And about the argument that the game isn't original, I would say that GOG sells several games that are not really unique or original (oldies as well as indies).

Also, how many games are very similar to BTM? I might be ignorant, but personally I couldn't name a single one ...

Shadow Warrior is available for 9.99$ and DRM-free too.

Not gonna lie, that is a pretty good deal, and the first time the Humble Store made me wanna purchase something. But I still think I'm gonna hold off. I'm sure it will be available for that price on GOG.com too in the future, and it's not like I'm gonna play this right now.

Have I gone mad or have they lost their 'own' payment option. I can see paypal, amazon and bitcoins but no longer the one that pooped up the annoying little window in the middle of the browser with boxes not quite big enough for anything you want to put in? (I believe it was from stripe.com).

Buying from the Humble Store offers less payment options than through the Humble widget - go figure...
