sotisopa: So Enhanced Edition owners are left with no upgrade path to Definite Edition, assuming one would want to purchase it.

This is what generally sucks with GOG's naturally, everchanging, evolving game-editions: at least in Steam there's quite often possibility to upgrade to so-called higher-tier edition and getting discount worth the content one already owns, based on basegame + possible separate DLCs.

Definite Edition costs 14.89 euros
Enhanced Edition costs 11.99 euros,
Buying all the DLCs left separetely to manually "upgrade" to Definitive Edition, only 26.91 euros.

So better charge owners of older editions full price than offer upgrade at reasonable price like 2.9 euros?

And this comment is not just regarding Dying Light but targeted at GOG's general arbitrary basegame + dlc, endless editions-jungle and how customers who happened to buy either just the basegame, or some older edition eventually are completely ignored when newer editions appear.
I was just about to ask the same thing: I own the Enhanced Edition + all the DLCs released so far (purchased separately), so I am on par with the Platinum Edition, does that make me eligible for the discount?

Because it should.
Nice, so buying enhanced at launch, most of the released DLC, plus the newer Hellraid, only means I am expected to more for the "full" edition. Nice, chalk another success up for GOG.

Someone needs to pay for galaxy development as that tagging and sorting doesn't pay for itself, and that someone is you!

Is the Definitive Edition a separate entry in your account, with one installer for everything, like in Witcher 3:GOTY edition?

Wondering again why everyone is barking at GoG while how upgrades are done or not done is a decision of the publisher/developer and just them.

We got several games where the owner of the old version (and its DLCs) got the new one for free.
Naming Outward, Spellforce 3, Observer or the Terminal Cuts of Bloodrayne.
It went that way because the Dev/Publisher wanted it that way, not because GoG was telling them what to do...

Same goes for what is discounted how much.
GoG can only suggest something but the dev/publisher does not need to follow that suggestion.

It seems some people are just seeking for a reason to ride an attack against GoG.

Ride that attack against the ones who are in charge of the decisions...

I have a question before I get into my rant...

What are the extras that come in the Dying Light: – Platinum Edition?

My rant... I purchased Dying Light: The Following – Enhanced Edition when it was on sale and I purchased all the DLCs when those were on sale. I'm seeing the Dying Light: The Following – Enhanced Edition is on sale for 60% off, making it $11.99. The Dying Light: The Following – Definitive Edition is on sale for 70% off, making it $14.99 and comes with everything and a free upgrade to the Platinum Edition. I could have saved all that time to get it all for $3.00 more dollars. What way to throw money away...

GOG, you want to make this right... Either give the Platinum to all Dying Light owners or charge a $3.00 upgrade for the Dying Light: – Definitive Edition, which then gets us the upgrade to the Platinum Edition for all the extra goodies.
Glad to see it in its final, definitive edition. And happy with the free upgrade! Thanks GOG and Techland!

What are these goodies anyway? They seem like silly promotional items and whatnot, nothing of real substance. If there's missions I am missing out on with the "definitive edition" though, it would be good to know.
Hey, wasn't there a upgrade hours ago? Can't find anymore.

I actually own Dyling Light: Enhanced Edition on Steam. There's no partial discount to be had for owning part of the Definitive Edition Package. I am charged the same as someone with no current game licence.

There's an important distinction that needs to be made: Steam allows the publisher to sell both "Packages" and "Bundles". Packages must be wholly purchased in every instance, whereas Bundles may be partially purchased ("completed"). All of the Dying Light offerings on Steam are Packages; they behave similarly to the Editions sold on GOG.com. In this instance, the pricing stucture is clearly Techland's doing, not GOG or Valve's.

Mm, there's a complete your collection Bundle on Steam that allows you to purchase just the DLC's you don't own. With that you are able to "achieve" the Definitive Ed. no matter what you purchased before and paying only for what you don't own.

GOG never had that kind of bundles, so you always have to buy packages at full price even if you had something from that package. This limitation makes some upgrade paths impossible here and usually makes you buy every DLC separately to "achieve" a package (and even though it can show differently on your Games so instead of X Edition you simply have the base game and DLC's)

That said, and despite that GOG's limitation i always thought that Publishers and Devs can find solutions to do what they want to do just talking with GOG, but only if they want to ofc. I mean, if you design a "Definitive Edition" with X components and the difference with the previous "Enhanced Edition" is Y components and Z euros (for Dying Light Definitive is 3 euros) then sell such Upgrade path for 3 euros to cover everyone and to avoid a customer unable to upgrade and forced to buy the new package at full price.

BTW, i wonder if this "new" Edition exists because Techland needs extra money for the new game, to pay for Denuvo and to finish it properly, because it seems it's too buggy and unpolished :S

Nope, it's still under the same old Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition entry. I was missing a ton of DLCs so I figured it's cheaper and less hassle just to buy the Definitive Edition.

< D >: It seems to be missing the Harran Military Rifle DLC. It doesn't show up in a site search either so maybe we never had it. Or is it hidden in some other DLC?
It is showed as included in the DE, but it is free at the moment.

GoG is just a company, it's sole purpose is to earn profit, and I'm pretty sure the developers/publishers behind the games would also like to earn some rather than none.

Therefore my suggestion of GoG offering either a separate, reasonable upgrade-opportunities for customers partially eligible for something like Definite Edition in Dying Light's case would be more coins into their coffers than the current situation where customers like I refuse to buy anything because there's no sense.

TL;DR - GoG, developers/publishers and customers would win vs current situation where nobody wins.

Good points.

I didn't even notice that bundle; too much visual noise on the Steam store page.
Not available in Japan apparently.
