I asked the developer if it were coming on GOG and got the reply "currently we're shipping on Steam but I imagine we'd release on GOG at some point"

Might be worth some peer pressure to get it DRM-free!

Might help if I knew what the game actually was. xD
Edit: Shadow of the Colossus sorta I guess?

Be careful, don't share too much information.

What is Pray for the gods, and why should I care?

You shouldn't.
The OP cared so little himself that he went offline before explaining. :P

Looks like its got a ways to go to hit 300k, $15 for a digital copy is reasonable?

But why?

I just Pray for the Gods to appear it on GOG! :P

I also Pray for the Gods to NOT make it another Mighty No.9!

I made that post right before going on an airplane, thus my silence.
I honestly thought more people had heard about this game which looks impressive in many ways and I thought it would make a great addition to the DRM-free lineup of GOG.

There was that part about burying someone under a big pile of pears.
