Are they serious?

This looks far too much like a use of Galaxy as an early release DRM, delaying the offline DRM-free installers until the first couple months go by. A standard pseudo-"anti-piracy" move, but not something that should be tolerated on GOG.

Actually, it's just that the game has not been released yet and for some reason on the game page it always say that the game will be released "tomorrow". I believe that Mar 30, 2024 is the real release date but I can't say for sure since the publisher never answered my messages, a fact I'll take into account before purchasing anything else from them...

This weirdness has been going on since about the 1st. There was a short time around the 31st that the page thought the game did release and had seemingly enabled reviews, the form was there but I didn't try to leave one. I ended up just requesting a refund on this rather than deal with whatever is going on.

Thanks for clearing up the confusion, I thought the game was available already (nothing on the store page show that it is not) and the delay was only for the offline installers.

The situation is obviously still bad, but less than what I though at first glance.
