Sometimes I wonder if Valve pays developers to not give equal support to GoG customers.

Epic Store got this DLC.

personthingy: I don't think Valve can be bothered lifting a finger to do anything, tbh. Especially not something that would cost them money, rather than bring it in for free. :B

No... this attitude is entirely on the devs.

Also, I forgot to report it here, but there have been a few threads about this on their Steam forums. The dev has closed a couple of them, but has clarified their position in the most recent threads:

"We have not in any way abandoned the platform. We support every platform, including GOG, with all of our free in-game content updates. However, different platforms have received and will likely continue to receive varying levels of external content (DLC, avatars, themes, etc). Our GOG builds do not currently support external DLC so, unfortunately, it is not as easy as uploading the DLC onto the GOG Store.

We know we have players on GOG and understand that there is a desire for more content outside of the game so we will definitely keep you in mind if we look to expand the scope of DLC support."

So basically they want us to shut up and be thankful that they even bother to release updates. Calling bs on the doesn't support dlc claim, there are plenty of multi platform games here that have dlc. So what makes the gog version so different from every other platform that dlc is impossible? It just sounds like they are relegating us to the low priority list and focusing on the "big platfroms", just like so many other publishers here.

For me this is an additional reason to support GOG.
Buy here to show that the without DRM, is a more important criterion.

"our GOG builds don't support external DLC".
What makes this game different to ANY OTHER GAME that has external DLC here? Let's look at Stellaris as a prime example.

Some developers seem to have this attitude because of software piracy. A developer on another GOG title said that they refuse to release DLC's here; the reason apparently that it appears on all the Russian software piracy sites the very next day. Which is ironic since the steam version is just as easily cracked and you are more likely to see 0day releases than the GOG version.

Guess what! Turns out the claims of difficulty for updates and new content is bull. They have dev tools equivalent to steam's yet some devs and pubs just choose not to use it.
what a shame. was looking forward to buying it on this platform. not gonna buy this when the devs got that kinda attitude.
I was so close to buying this after my kids have been eyeing it for a while. Decided to come to the forum and check out what people are saying. With this information I'll probably wait until there's a deep sale if I buy it.
Well, this is a shame. I was just getting ready to buy this, but I decided not to when I found out that the DLC is not on GOG. (I won't be buying on Steam because I'd prefer a DRM-free version.) Very disappointing - you lost a sale.
