Leevi: Devotion should be on top of that list. Accepted by GOG, only to be vetoed by Chinese Communist Party who have some pull on GOG for some reason.

laser_eyes: "For some reason"??? I wonder if the ability to destroy half of GOG's business could be that reason. Hmmm. Let me think about it. Please, no more off-topic posts.

Swedrami: Hence the proposed re-wording resp. extension of the ridiculous 2 weeks period of response time to something more along the lines of:

"Hey, your submission has been received, but with the pandemic going on and having to work from home and the sheer number of emails, support tickets and game submissions our comparatively small staff's still slowly working their way through we might not be able to properly review your submitted game in a timely manner and it may, in fact, take us several months before we even get to your submission.

So if you don't receive a response within 2 weeks don't be alarmed. It just means we haven't got the time yet to review your submission and/or get back to you about it."

Isn't that way more sensible compared to just automatically deny developers/publishers without even having looked at the submission, because that's essentially what this meager 2 weeks period of response time after which developers/publishers can be "safe to assume that GoG decided to pass on the submitted game" does.

Again, I don't want to imagine how many developers/publishers that aren't as understanding or patient already got fed up and as a result won't release any of their present as well as future games on GoG, period.
Games that would be a perfect fit for GoG and/or have more than decent backing in form of hundreds/thousands of community wishlist votes.
I agree with you, while at the same time recognizing there might be other factors at play.

The behavior of GOG at times is very confusing to many of us. A lot doesn't make sense from where we are sitting.

I prefer to give GOG the benefit of the doubt though, and be positive rather than negative.
Being negative in this scenario is likely to achieve nothing. They would not be ignorant of how many of their customers feel. And to burn bridges with game providers would be the height of stupidity.
GOG due to their DRM-Free stance are not in a Win Win situation, by any means.
So something we don't know about is going down, and no amount of negativity on our part is likely to change whatever that is.
Sometimes I fear the worst.

Sadly it seems GOG has rejected Esse Proxy. Too bad, it looked cool! :-(

It's a twin stick shooter with a one-shot instakill for the player character.

When players told devs about how horrible of a design choice that is and that they should remove it, instead of actually doing so like they should have done, they instead doubled-down on that horrible design decision.

GOG rejecting it would therefore be one of the few times ever that "GOG curation" actually did anything useful & worthwhile.
