N1c3_0n3: hope the sudden boost of popularity will become the motivation for the dev to update the game here
It would be great if all of us who got the game write them to e-mail on their website.

I've sent my email to Dreadlocks Ltd.

They're also on Facebook and Twitter, if others prefer it. Please everybody remember to be civil.

Thanks GOG and Dreadlocks Ltd. but I have to join the bandwagon and say (especially to Dreadlocks Ltd) that I'd rather receive the missing update for the game I already paid money for than getting another outdated version for free. When I contacted them in 06/2020 (!) they even apologized:

"Dreadlocks
Hi Marko, you absolutely right. The update was postponed and delayed for the complicated COVID situation. We resuming our support development now and we will try to deliver it as soon as possible.

Sincerely
Dreadlocks"

Unfortunately their definition of "asap" differs a bit from my definitoin and after this obviously empty promise they prefered to ignore me (see attachment) completely.

@GOG when will you finally tell your "partners" that they have a responsibility here on GOG as well? Your customers are the ones who suffer because of missing updates in the end. It might be bad for you if those unresponsible "partners" don't like you that much anymore when you ask them to do what they are doing voluntarily on Steam - keeping their game up to date after having been paid by the customer - but without your customers GOG would not even exist ... no matter how nice you treat your "partners".

Enough is enough ... are you really okay with GOG being the one store known for "many games stay unupdated and you can never be sure that this does not happen with the game YOU just purchased"?

I think many would like to know why GOG is giving away a game that has been out of date for 3 years at this point. Does it matter to them at all? How does this look to new customers that a game the store front is giving away doesn't even have the latest bug fixes applied? I mean this is disgusting.

I'm sorry, but this need to be said, a hell of a lot of the people praising this need to wake the fuck up. Givaways are the store giving you something, and in doing so one would expect those to be representative of the store as a whole... and if they're giving away inferior products, what kind of message is that sending, particularly to new users?

Just want to add my frustration about this and other games on gog missing updates for years. At least it's free this time, because if i'd paid for this game with missing updates, I would have been pissed. Not that it makes it better as the gog version has unfixed bugs.

Thanks for the freebie GOG!

Do they even exist anymore? They have a Kickstarter project which seems to be abandoned and the people complain about it in the comments. The game is called Ghost Theory.

Edit:
Note: "Deactivated by Kickstarter".

I bought it three years ago as I was mighty impressed with the demo and the price and have since been waiting for the update.

If they would not exist anymore in some kind or form GOG would not be able to give the game away.
