I'll second this, and will note to any GOG staff that may read this, that this was reported for previous patches as well.

same problem here. No notification.

Maybe they figure if we were smart enough to back Torment, we should be smart enough to figure out when a patch is going to be here. Or maybe they don't care about our weird little version of the game. What's important is to be aware that they don't notify and figure out how to notify people they aren't being notified so they can go ahead and update the game.

It's been reported before and at least some GOG.com staff members are aware of the issue.
Not sure about none kickstarter backers, but it seems to apply to all people who have the kickstarter issue.

Conspiracy nutjob alert: GOG knows that half the customer base will mess things up by downloading patches and hotfixes they don't really need, so by not announcing it they limit the amount of head ache the QA department has to deal with.

hehehe
