IronWyrm: When I couldn't download I started reading steam forum/reviews(53%) and just decided to ask for a refund.
While I somewhat understand this, it's not a problem with the game, but with the lousy way GOG treats non-Galaxy users here. I really love the X series and X4: Foundations is a great game in my honest opinion.
A lot of the critique stems from the release version years back. People that have been long X-Series players know Egosoft has a not-stellar reputation with their freshly released games. This is mainly because they are a very small (It was about 30 to 40 people) development team (and even a smaller amount of them are actual coders). However - They are known to not give up, and while the initial releases can be rough around the edges, they keep refining the game over the years. And the game is now almost unrecognizable from, and miles and miles better than, the initial release.
Anyway - This present negative score for this new expansion is for a big part the fault of GOG, and not the fault of Egosoft. I can't fault people to give negative scores for buying a game and not be able to play it. But that's not the fault of the game or Egosoft. It's purely GOG to blame here.
