I had no idea about the other tweet until recently, not that it would appreciably change anything I've posted here. I only knew about his response to my inquiries, which are these:

"Yeah, I have been talking to them about it but it doesn't seem to be high on anyone's priority list."

Six months later, I asked for an update:

"Discussions just sort of stopped. I think they are a lot more interested in The Witness than Braid."

https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Blow/status/389113095030706176

My title was chosen based on those tweets. It's not a declaration of fact, it's a question. I stand by it. Chill out, dude.

Jonathan Blow was in the wrong for making an unprofessional comment on Twitter, but I hardly see the need to vilify and demonize him.

And I hardly see the need for multiple threads trying to convince people on this forum of falsehoods...

Such as...
"GoG isn't interested in selling Braid" which has proven to be completely false as Jonathon Blow has admitted they were in contract negotiations.

Or the fact these distortions are causing other people to also spam useless threads vilifying and demonizing GoG over their decisions such as http://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_sorry_state_some_things_on_gog_are/page1

And the main reason I keep bringing up these Tweets is to show people that just asking GoG to "step it up" or "get this game here" or yell and scream at GoG over their supposed incompetence isn't likely to solve anything.

Because someone who is continually showing contempt at GoG isn't someone likely to be cutting a reasonable deal with them. And blaming GoG is pretty foolhardy under the circumstances.

And while Jonathon Blow may be an extreme example, it's an example that shows, it takes two to tango and this one-sided blame game, armchair quarterbacking of GoG's business model doesn't tell the story well at all. And while Mr. Blow thinks GoG isn't all that important to him, other developers may have their own reasons not to finalize a deal.

So rampancy, I'm stating the truth. Actually quotes from the man. If those qoutes show him in a bad light, guess what? It's his own damn fault. And all these Braid and The Witness apologists ought to see the truth for what it is and why the games aren't actually here on GoG.

Should he have said what he said in 2012? Probably not, but the more interesting question is, why did he say it? Why did he have the reaction he did to GOG's negotiation process? He has dealt with so many other stores successfully in the past, what was different this time? We may never fully know, but clearly he felt something was amiss at the time.

Should he have said what he said in 2016?

And once again here you go trying to make it seem like GoG's fault; that they made him publicly call them dicks because you believe it to be true. Seriously, why the heck are you even on these forums? You seem to hate GoG so much...

While I don't think the actual Tweets are still out there, apparently his issue in 2012 was that he wouldn't have full control over the price at every time, particularly sales in which he couldn't just put it on sale when he wanted to.

I think everyone here knows that GoG's business model has always been to "curate" the sales, so that sounds like it was the big sticking point back then and will continue be a sticking point as that has not changed.

Say what now? I'm just asking questions. No one forced him to use the language he used, true, but I'm just wondering if there may have been a legitimate reason for him to feel raw about the situation. That wouldn't even necessarily mean that GOG were the "bad guys" here, it could just be a case of miscommunication and misunderstanding on both accounts. Maybe the answer is it's all Blow's fault, maybe not, I don't know. Listen, I like both parties involved, but again, as a customer, that's all secondary to the content, the games.

What have I said that would make you believe I hate GOG? I'm a super mega ultra fan. I would be the first person to buy Braid and The Witness should they ever be released here.

Apparently is not good enough. Provide a link or it didn't happen.

How about you provide a link to GoG's antics which made Blow "raw" about the situation? All you do is spread innuendos that it's GoG probably in the wrong. A lot of people are getting sick of it.

The fact is, I've linked quotes where Jonathon Blow responded to someone mentioning issues about pricing and sales for Braid and he did not correct them in the least.

So it seems rather logical this is the core issue. He thinks he should have full control over the price and sales of his game on GoG. Meanwhile, as we all should know, GoG does their best to space out and schedule their sales.

Since he's already stated he only cares about negotiating with the places he "needs" to be sold, and there is no way GoG is going to give up on their sales scheduling, I'm not expecting any changes.
