I absolutely second that.
I have not bought this game yet because of DRM, but I will buy it here the instant the (original) German version becomes available.

I'v been eyeing this one for months.. It has no French language support for GOG release (why, again ?) so i'll pass for a Steam copy somewhere later, but thanks anyway.. I guess.

I trust you don't yell and complain hours in a dress shop because they sell women close...

They're free not to buy but they should stop yelling and complaining like they do about there not being German versions like it's the end of the world...

That's just your subjective perception of the matter, and you seem to read a lot into words written by random strangers on the internet. It's actually impossible to "yell" in forums unless you post a video of yourself yelling, and complaining about complaints isn't any more helpful or entertaining than what you criticize yourself.

In regards to the game language issue, i remember that pretty much every game released in europe over the last few decades has had multiple choice languages. Mostly it was English/French/Spanish/Italian/German.

I understand if it costs a dev extra to get decent translations, but if they started in German, surely they can add that option to it aswell.

The only difference is that every time a new release of a german game comes out on GOG, I have to scroll through 50 or so messages complaining about there not being any german translation.
It's the first time I complain about it but you seem to take it harshly...

Thank you... You've actually been the first to reply to me in a non-hostile manner and make persuasive arguments. You've convinced me. ^^

That's just another subjective perception (same as the one about "hostile" reactions). :D Don't read so much into posts, the internet is full of misunderstandings.

Out of curiosity, what kind of posts were you looking for in this thread when you scrolled through the "50 or so" messages about the release lacking a german "translation"?

See if the game is any good ^^ Kind'of a review I guess or at-least first thoughts (on the company, the screen shots, eventual prequels etc..) if the game is brand new.

It's like "Ok I get it already.. you guys are not happy the game is only available in english... but any other thoughts on the actual game ? "

Ah, ok. Sadly I can't help you with that since I couldn't convince myself yet to buy it under these conditions, hehe. ;)

Same here, why do you think we're complaining ;-) Wir kommen um uns zu beschweren

Well... How about this one? There's your favourite shop selling some clothes you really like. But this shop doesn't have your favourite clothes in your size. What would you do? Buy the clothes a number too large? Or would you tell the shopkeeper that he's missing sales if he refuses to offer those clothes in all available sizes, just as every other shop does?

I would leave the shop and buy my clothes elsewhere. And by the way: That's exactly what I'm doing here as well! If GOG doesn't sell a (text heavy) game in german (my native language), I'm looking for this game on other sites. I like my games DRM-free and I appreciate very much that GOG is testing those games for modern systems. But it's inconvenient to focus on a foreign language when your trying to relax. So I prefer german language over DRM-free games that run easily on modern systems.

Yes, you're right. We're all free not to buy our games on GOG. And no, it's not the end of the world. But why shouldn't we tell GOG that we would love to buy our games here, if they would release them in all available languages, just as every other store does? That's not yelling and complaining. We're just pointing out that GOG is losing sales for no reason. And it's not only german people who are asking for different languages. Just have a look at threads like "Multilingual GOGs" or this funny sounding thread about games with italian language, that reminds me of gnocchi everytime I see it.

I think most of us are just trying to point out that there are quite some people NOT buying games on GOG, because they don't want to miss half the story due to a lack of english knowledge. And especially with a game like this one you're missing a lot if you're selling it english only. This game is so german, I even wonder why they did an english dubbing ;) And no, it's not about licensing issues. Maybe that's the case with this particular release, but most "english only" GOGs that are available elsewhere, are multilingual in most other stores!

Whatever... I think it's the right thing to do, to tell GOG again and again that they "forgot" to add an available language ;)

To be fair, even though I still won't buy the game under these conditions, I'm quite confident that at least in this case GOG had no say in the matter. (And even in most other cases, I'd blame the publishers' licensing first). We can be grateful that this game is offered DRM-free at all, and for all adventure game lovers who don't speak German, this is a great release. But that doesn't stop me from criticizing Daedalic's consent to Deep SIlver's Steam-only policy for the original version of this game.

My reply was certainly no more hostile than the post of yours I replied to.

Also, if you don't think a business benefits from knowing what potential customers want to pay for, then I don't really know what else to say.
