Sabin_Stargem: With the Skullgirls project, does anyone know if the game would someday come to GOG? I am tempted to buy the game through the Indiegogo campaign, but I am not fond of Steam.
My gut feeling says no. I've asked both the developer and publisher about this months ago (before the whole legal mess that just happened not too long ago) and they said they're using Steam for multiplayer hosting, lobbies, and taking advantage of some of the other features Steam uses/provides. I could ask them again by email just to see, but my feeling is that it's pretty unlikely we'll see a GOG release.
This was the response I got when I asked them that question months ago:
We are using Steamworks for some necessary functionality in the game beyond just DRM. We did discuss with GOG whether they would be able to offer an alternative solution for the other aspects of functionality provided by Steamworks which are necessary, but unfortunately, they were not able to and creating our own technical solutions for the functionality would have been cost prohibitive and delay the possible release date for the game significantly.
