Alexim: So on GOG they removed the classic versions, while on Steam no less than two older versions of the game, the Original Edition and the 2015 Edition, are available for free, great.
MarkoH01: Communication with GOG support: Me: "Thanks for solving the main part of my ticket (missing OL Installers).
Unfortunately you seem to have missed the second part of my ticket: "Be aware that you should NOT remove the original untouched version completely since your customers won't like that. Also, since the orginal is available on Steam as well, I guess it is pretty safe to say that your partner don't mind to keep it online."
"Now the untouched version is gone from GOG and since it is still available on Steam I actually doubt that this was forced by the publisher of the game. Your userbase prefers to keep untouched versions along with the enhanced ones whenever possible. Sometimes publishers are forcing your hand here - I know - but this seems to be unlikely here so that's a bit disappointing."
Support: "Unfortunately, I am unable to comment about releases or de-listing products from GOG store. The only available versions of the games on GOG are Twinsen's Little Big Adventure 1 and 2 Classic. I have also checked the Steam platform as you have mentioned and I was only able to find Twinsen's Little Big Adventure 1 and 2 Classic available for purchase there for the time being."
Me: "I took the liberty of helping you finding the original versions on Steam store (which are now completely absent on GOG)."

If you stilll won't add these versions back as an extra I guess I will
have to contact your partner and complain to them instead.
Support: "Please keep in mind that this is up to game developer if game or it's certain version is available on GOG. We have contacted the game developer and will try to fix this issue as soon as possible, however, we do not have any ETA about if or when it will be addressed.
Keep in mind that due to legal reasons and as I have mentioned previously I am unable provide comment about release of the original version."
