You can buy at steam the DLC, Soundtrack and the Artbook. Please offer these things also at gog.

Thank you in advance.

Focus Home doesn't for most of their games, only 2 OSTs for all of their titles. They don't bother with gog, they just dump here, and gog doesn't seem to ask developers to do this.

Yes, it would be very nice to get the same offer as Steam users get.

also are they even updating the game on GoG? Steam has had two patches and I just checked the updates, it says the game hasn't been updated in 4 days. ADS is utterly broken and feels like it takes your sensitivity down by 90%. Every time I buy a game on GoG, I end up feeling like I fucked myself over.

I don't think Necromunda: Hired Gun got any updates on any platform yet. Are you perhaps referring to the two "community updates" they posted on Steam? If I'm not mistaken, those are really just short news posts explaining what's going on with the game. In fact, the first of these explicitly mentions they're "working on our first update". So I guess it's still entirely open whether the game will be updated properly on GOG.

But back to the topic of DLC: What really gets me here is that Steam and the Epic Games Store both sell all three DLCs while GOG doesn't sell any of them. However, people who pre-ordered on GOG did in fact get the cosmetic DLC. Which means the files for the DLC are already on GOG's servers, there's an installer and everything... So why not just sell it as a separate DLC as well?

ah, my bad. you're right. I guess I feel better knowing everyone on steam has to suffer with us then.

Well, seems like the first patch was released on Steam today at 16:53 CEST. Let's see how long that one takes to get to GOG. Maybe your post about the lack of updates will be justified retrocatively :D

Also, seeing how long it takes for them to update over here might give us an indication of whether Focus Home is serious about supporting the game on GOG. Perhaps we can still hope for them to release the DLC here...

we are second class consumers who bought the game on the lesser platform as of now... sigh......... I really hate steam, but if you're going to cuck me like this, devs, I have to buy from there. why doesn't GoG get on devs' ass and demand parallel support for games?

No, it's not a good sign that they don't patch their game concurrently on GOG or sell the DLC here on day 1 (especially since so many other devs are very dilligent when it comes to updating on GOG - shoutout to the dev of the recently released Graven Early Access). But they might add the patch here in a day or two - or they might end up never patching the game on GOG at all. Let's wait for a bit and then draw our conclusions as to whether Streumon/Focus Home really care about their GOG user base.

If you buy the game on Steam (it's also sold on the EGS, so that's also an option) because the devs don't update on GOG, then you're (rightfully) punishing GOG for not taking steps to ensure devs/publishers update their games here. But to the devs/publishers, the result is the same: They get your money. If you really want them to feel your discontent with the situation, it's probably best to contact them via the Steam forums, Twitter, Discord etc. and (politely!) tell them you won't buy their game until they provide proper updates to the GOG version (and sell the DLC here, too).


Here are some additional pieces of information which might provide context for the current situation with the DLC and the patches:

- About a month before launch, someone tweeted at the devs, asking whether they'd release their game on GOG. The devs said there were no plans to release the game on GOG. The game then appeared on the store about a week before launch. This might indicate that the GOG release was a last-minute decision, meaning the DLC might still be coming in the near future, they just didn't get it ready in time. Or it might mean they just decided "why not get the GOG sales as well, while we're at it?", released the game here and won't bother beyond that.

- As far as I know, GOG has a hard enough time trying to convince devs/publishers to release their games DRM-free here anyways, especially on day 1. So as much as I'd wish GOG would put more pressure on devs/publishers to update their games, I can kinda see why they might not want to do so.

- Swissy88 mentioned that Focus Home doesn't consistently release DLC for their games on GOG, saying only 2 OSTs got released here. I had a look at the Steam and GOG stores respectively and just from the games I bothered to check, it seems GOG got all of the DLCs for the 2 Battlefleet Gothic: Armada games (including both OSTs), all GreedFall DLC, all Othercide DLC (including Artbook & OST), all A Plague Tale: Innocence DLC, all Space Hulk: Deathwing DLC (including OST), all Vampyr DLC and all Styx: Shards of Darkness DLC (this DLC isn't listed separately, but the store page says you get it for free when you buy the game on GOG). The only OST I could find on Steam which isn't on GOG was the one for The Technomancer. So while I don't know WHEN these DLCs/OSTs were released on GOG, I think it's not impossible for the Hired Gun DLC/Artbook/OST to release here at some point.

I suspect it was released here due to the w40k event earlier this week. Hopefully OST is going to come to gog soon.

So any updates about the gog version getting the DLCs and/or Bundle edition?

I was planning on posting this once I had some definite info on the artbook and soundtrack, but since you asked, here's what we know so far (tl;dr at the bottom):

People on the Focus Home Interactive Discord have been asking about the delayed patch and the 3 missing DLCs. There's a user called "Mzulft" who seems to be part of the dev team. Here are some quotes from that user:

When asked about when the first patch would come to GOG/why it took them till mid-Monday to release it on GOG (Steam patch release was on the previous Friday), Mzulft said: They didn't give any reason for this, and since they were talking about the console patches as well, it's unclear whether they were referring mainly to console patches coming later. However, given that the GOG patch was already released (slightly) later than the Steam one, I think it's fair to assume they are not planning to make sure that future patches arrive on GOG at the same time as Steam. Hopefully, the delay will only be a few days, but that's already a bad sign if you ask me.

Mzulft was then asked about the missing DLC on GOG, to which they said this: Here, the dev probably misunderstood what people were asking for, since their answer seems to be focused on the possibility of future DLC coming to GOG. Also, it's unclear whether by "platform-exclusive" they mean console/PC or Steam/EGS/GOG - though from context, I think they're referring to store-exclusive DLC.

When it was clarified to Mzulft that people were talking about the three day 1 DLCs which are already available on other stores, they said this: Note that Mzulft was also asked if they could give a reason for not releasing the DLC on GOG day 1, but they didn't give an answer to that.

tl;dr:
- It's highly probable that GOG patches will always come after Steam patches.
- The Hunter's Bounty Pack (cosmetic DLC) will definitely not be sold on GOG.
- No hard info on the soundtrack and artbook yet.
- We have a noncommital assurance that future DLC might come to GOG.

You can find a link to the Focus Home Discord channel in a stickied topic on the Steam forums if you want to check for yourself.

I've only started using GOG as my "main store" a few months ago and this is also the first time for me that I bought a game here that just outright won't be supported properly by the developer. And that includes plenty of games released quite recently. However, this seems to be enough of a problem on GOG that people are compiling a list of games with missing features/DLC compared to other stores:

Personally, I won't be seeking a refund, but I'll take this as a sign to not trust Streum On Studios and Focus Home Interactive when they release stuff on GOG.

As I've mentioned in an earlier post, what's really aggravating here is that people who preordered Necromunda: Hired Gun DID get the Hunter's Bounty Pack (cosmetic DLC), but unlike on other stores, this DLC simply won't be sold on GOG after launch (according to the Discord), with no reason given.

What the hell is wrong with them? Why we aren't getting the pre-order dlc sold separately, when steam has them?
