Tannath: Warsow got a flag, but I can't figure out what changed...

MarkoH01: I'd guess it was a delayed flag for this:

Patch 2.01 (29 December 2015)
General:

Rewinding demos no longer breaks POV switching.
Fixed client-side crashes in CTF: Tactics game mode.
Corrected the list of assets released under Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives license (see license.txt).

Server:

Fixed race condition which was preventing multiple server instances to complete initialization in case they were sharing the same home directory.
Bugfixes and improved performance for the built-in HTTP server. UI:
Fixed memory leaks, improved peformance for the server browser with l10n enabled.
That's only part of the changelog. There were two entries that day and the other one was much longer and contained several gameplay changes.

You are correct, I forgot to scroll.

And I thought I got an update flag for Warsow because of the added Linux version. ;P

How can a flag be delayed by more than a week? Do they really add these flags manually?

eiii: Do they really add these flags manually?
Yes.

Judas has mentioned repeatedly that he does not set flags for what GOG considers minor changes (e.g. Mac compatibility changes).

So much for "no more extras getting removed from accounts". Though this doesn't seem to be the same case as the previous ones here.

MarkoH01: Since in this case the soundtrack is part of an additional DLC and therefore required additional money from the customer to get it they should at least refund the money this DLC costed because most user probably have bought the special edition just to get the soundtrack with it. [...]
I'd also expect the price of the DLC to change now that the soundtrack is no longer included.


avatar
MarkoH01: [...]

But I have to say that I don't really understand this. They don't offer the soundtrack in the package anymore but provide a download link to get the exact same files they have excluded. It would have been enough if they only had deleted the OST from the game pages but not from the accounts. Same result as far as I can see.
It's definitely not customer friendly. And in GOG's case, if they have indeed implemented a way to prevent extras being removed from accounts when they're removed from the store, I don't see why GOG and the devs didn't agree on just letting people keep the damn thing.

Are your sure that was a good example?

I think so. If it weren't manual, Judas wouldn't have been able to decide whether or not to set a flag.

budejovice: It sucks. But people, please, this is just another reason to hit "download" as soon as you hit "pay."
I do download all my files when I've bought a game (at least I hope lgogdownloader will not fail to get me all the files). But one of the reasons I buy my games from GOG is that I want to have a backup of all my games in one place and not be forced to download things from here and there. That's why I would like to hear some official statement about the yet again changed policy to handle such removals and breaking the "<i>it will not happen again</i>" promise.

It was! Think of all the flags you would have gotten otherwise because of the El Capitano Mac updates. :P

I've seen enough mac compatibility update flags to say that this is not a good example. ;)

Me too, hence the ":P". :)

True, imagine what it'd have been like getting a couple or more such flags each day for 2-3 weeks in a row.

Oh. Now I understand your comment. I forgot that people were troubled by the handful of El Capitan updates back in November (or whenever). Trust me, there have been a lot more Mac updates that did not get a flag.
I think that mrkgnao might have been referring to the Galaxy Mac compatibility updates.

I know there were, but we still got a good chunk of those, not to mention that some were pretty persistent and returned 2-3 times after clearing them. I think that it was the frequency, plus them returning, that got at people.

You're right. Should have picked a different example.

No harm intended. It just shows that sometimes different viewpoints may lead to different impressions. And there's no doubt, when someone knows of all the updates then it's of course our chief update reporter, mrkgnao. :)
