*lol*

I agree. Nordic have many much better games they could release.

Agree, if they just release all they have including the older games, i am sure there will always be buyers for those games, think of it like a market or maybe a flee market where you can buy all sorts of weird items.
Same goes for any old game, there's always people who will buy these, its digital, so no reproduction costs, no advertisements, no storage needed of the physical items, and many other very expensive things that would be needed on retail versions.

So these should cover all the bandwith and diskstorage cost easily, so basically any game can be sold and will be bought, cause there's always a market for everything.

example i saw a weird steam sale so i decided to check the garbage out
i happen to like casual games so i got these games:

Belladonna (only 69 cents) (weird adventure i still have to check youtube and see if theres a walkthrough
to see if there are any annoying flashes further in the game, but at a lousy 69 cents it wont be a loss if it has)
I dont know how large the game is, if its complete or tehre will be more parts, but it looks okay sofar and maybe it turns out to be a good game afteral.

The Deed (only 34 cents (weird game but 34 cents is not a loss if the game would turn out to be lousy game)

casual game:
12 labours of herculus IV: mother nature (only 59 cents ) ( these games wont run without steam, but thats not bad i get them if and when they arrive on retail cd drm free)

and 3 strange games that seems to be written in flash:
Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Case of the Mystified Murderess (at only 89 cents)

best part is, these 3 games also run independent of steam but if they had not it would not be as great loss

So all the games work without steam except the casual game :D (downside is the client is needed to download the game)

Sometimes there are unknown games, but sometime these turn out to be very fun and good games.
This does not change the fact that i still think steam sux, and i still hate drm thats why the crap client is on Xp installed and not on my good win7.
Some people go to see a movie, some people take a smoke, but i buy some crappy games on steam at very low prices.

Thanks, but they are being a bit nasty.
Am still sure it will eventually being fixed:)

WHERE IS ACT OF AGGRESSION AND GREY GOO?!?!

Due to the games being pirated by goglodytes, the publisher decided to not do business with GOG.

I hope you're not talking about Grey Goo, because the latest known info doesn't say that at all.

wh... really? I can't tell if you're being factual as usual, or not :p

Sigh...

There's always a chance of anything coming to GOG, but in this case I'd say the chance is 0.000000000000000000000001% and very unlikely. For starters, Raven's Cry got pulled from Steam about a month after the game was released due to being extremely buggy and incomplete causing it to get extremely bad reviews and massive returns.

About 6-9 months later the company re-released the game under a new name "Vendetta: The Curse of Raven's Cry" in order to get a fresh Steam page and essentially bury the old bad reviews and rating of the game to have a fresh start. Many people saw this as being shady and dishonest, but while the original game is no longer visible on Steam, it's reputation is permanently recorded on various other websites around the Internet and they can't cause that to vanish. Many of the reviews and commentary for the re-release of the game under the new name basically stated that the game was still incredibly buggy and unfinished and it felt like they never changed a thing.

Oddly enough though, the game got higher positive ratings on Steam than the original did. Then about 2 weeks ago the game got completely removed from Steam with no comments from Valve nor the game publisher whatsoever. Now that would definitely seem quite odd and simultaneously quite unlikely for a struggling game developer desperately trying to sell their failed game to be able to pay the bills to suddenly decide to remove it from the Steam store for no apparent reason. The more likely scenario is that Valve removed it from Steam themselves for some as yet unspecified reason.

If one does a web search of the game's name and why it was removed from Steam though, various sites out there are reporting that the most likely cause is that the game was removed for violating Steam's terms and conditions due to committing fake positve review fraud. The game's rating on Steam was 75% or higher, while simultaneously it got more like 30% rating on Metacritic which is quite a significant discrepancy which one wouldn't expect on any game that has had sufficient numbers of reviews to say the least. A large number of the positive reviews for the game on Steam were allegedly from Steam accounts that owned the game and few if any other games, and whom only had a minimal amount of game play time for the game. This is highly suggestive of accounts being created just for the purpose of rating the game positively, without actually playing it, and that wreaks of developer/publisher fraud.

So while there does not appear to be any official word on this yet, we're essentially looking at a highly hyped game which was released in an incomplete and buggy state twice now by a financially struggling developer that may possibly have engaged in shady business practices to con the market into buying their buggy game.

While the trailers for the game make it look pretty awesome (don't most trailers make games look awesome though?), the game turned out to be a dud in the end and that coupled with the shadiness surrounding it on Steam and the fact it was pulled from Steam twice by Valve now IMHO makes it extremely unlikely that GOG would ever even consider releasing the game here.

A more likely scenario is that the game will never show up on Steam again and will either just vanish from the history of gaming now and the company might go out of business, or they'll de-Steamify the game and it'll be released on Desura... oh wait, can't do that now. Maybe they'll release it on Shinyloot then... er.. I mean. Hrmm, maybe not. Yeah, I think they've more or less destroyed the biggest avenues they had for selling their game now and it'll either never be seen again, or it'll be released for free somewhere, or in a bottom barrel bargain bin bundle on one of the bundle sites in the future as a standalone download since they burned their bridges with Steam now.

Seems like nothing more than wishful thinking, but extremely unlikely considering that the game was removed from sale only a few weeks ago and about a week later Topware filed for bankruptcy.

Even if bags of gold magically fell out of the sky into their hands at this point they can't save this catastrophe. Their priorities are probably to bury this dud in the ground, and more likely than not the entire development team will be let go and seeking employment elsewhere if they aren't already.

Horror time!
