Time to set up a Second Sight Giveaway Competition ;)
I hope I'll have a key to contribute for such a giveaway. The first copy I bought intending to gift, I accidentally bought for myself, and am now waiting for support to help me fix this.

For anyone, who did not buy in time :)
What a terrible terrible game. I didn't even think that Steam had it. Nor had I noticed it in GOGs library. So dreadfully bad that it had become an S.E.P.

Why does these keeps companies keeps removing games from Steam & GOG? I thought that companies were adoring digital distribution on PC, but if these companies keeps removing these games from different platforms and then you can't even buy the game on disc.

Because they often either lose the rights to sell the games or they end up selling off the IP to someone else

Another Douglas Adam's reference (as Nirth recognized) from the same series of books that the "42" meme came from.

Adam's suggested that during our lifetime many people will come upon such absurdly peculiar and odd experiences that they will completely ignore and not remember the events on a subliminal level because they're so ridiculously bizarre and stupid that they're not worth the effort to consider let alone even recognize.

In the Hichhiker's books the example was demonstrated by an alien ship blatantly parking itself in the middle of a London square using an 'S.E.P.' cloaking device where in the aliens went through no effort to hide the ship knowing that it was a such a total Fnord everyone would just ignore it.

Moreover, an S.E.P. cloaking device (or "Someone Else's Problem") can easily be powered for several years straight by a pair of torchlight batteries due to being mostly powered by the individuals' own unwillingness to acknowledge the existence of whatever the S.E.P. cloaking device is used to cloak. Unless I remember wrongly.

I don't remember either but that sounds like Adam's sarcasm - The best way to reinforce everyone's ignorance of the ship would be to use torches or spotlights so that it could be easily seen at night as well. XD
