That's because Steam is full of retards.
Yes, because there's really a secret conspiracy among developers (indie or otherwise) and publishers to not release games on GOG. If they aren't on GOG, months or YEARS after their initial release than GOG have clearly failed in the business negotiation department.

But don't mind me, keep endlessly praising GOG for releasing awful shovelware day in and day out, oh look here's another one for you:

People call me heartless and mean because I'm an Atheist. :P

My friends call me the same and Im christian. >:D

Nope, it's not.
Crosmando doesn't care about indies ("shovelware garbage"). The games he is complaining about are well known games that would be here if possible. So this is not about rejections, this is a brain fart thread.

But it is. Here, he complained about Unreal World being rejected by GOG.

Or some developers simply don't like to maintain multiple versions. Or don't trust DRM-free. Or consider GOG too small a market share to be worth the trouble. You can't succfessfully negotiate with someone who isn't interested in the first place or would only be interested under conditions detrimental to your business.

That's no conspiracy, it's simple fact. Sometimes GOG can't offer good conditions, sometimes they're wrong about the quality or customer interest for a title, sometimes a developer can't be bothered. Blindly putting the blame on one side without any proof just means, that you don't have the slightest clue how business works. Oh yes, me and my endless GOG praising that I have done in this thread exactly never.

That doesn't add up I'm afraid. Business logic 101 says that you seek out EVERY source of additional income, no matter how small, no matter how "niche". Even if having a game on GOG only got the rights-holders $1000 extra a month they should still go for it, because money is money.

There is no additional income if the cost of maintaining a GOG version is higher than the revenue from GOG sales, you dense motherfucker.

No that's because your a git. ;)

My acts of kindness are not driven by a promise of a nice shiny afterlife, but by the hope that the act has not only helped that person but will make them more likely to help someone in turn. Its a hope, not an assumption.

I look at this world with awe and wonder, because it has taken billions of years to become this little rock of life. But its not a mathematical improbability, a 100 billion in one chance of life in a universe of billion billion potential rocks.

The chances of that are fucking zero my friend.
I'm not a Christian you moron, religion is not genetic (though I'm sure stupidity is for you).

If to get those $1000/month you had to pay up $24000 up front, that would mean that it wouldn't recover your money for 2 years. So even though it would be making them an extra grant per month, it would be costing them money for two years.
Basic economics say you don't only see your monthly income, you also calculate the cost to get said income.

You can learn a lot by actually reading the reviews and not judging whole swaths of people (like Steam users) in one broad stroke.

I read the reviews, even the "most helpful" "Positive" review calls the game buggy and rough on the edges. Can't imagine the mess the game was at release.

And one important overall theme besides the bugginess...
The single player campaign is bland and the AI is dumb as bricks. So we are talking about a $45 game mainly focused on multi-player.

It's more than that, really. Even if the benefits from GOG sales outweigh the costs of maintaining a GOG version, chances are the devs could've obtained a better yield should they have spent that money on improving the (say) Steam version. Opportunity cost, you know.

Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
