It still seems a lie for me . Far from a definitive answer .

AmadeusHein: It's all about what we promise to deliver, and these guys promised to deliver a DRM-free version to its paying costumer base.
I backed Armikrog and Mighty No. 9 for the console versions and i doubt they'll get released at the same day as the PC version. They promised the console versions. Same applies to people who backed Shadowrun Returns for the iOS/Android version, which still hasn't been released as far as i'm aware (while the PC versions came out in june last year). They have promised a tablet version.

Let me reiterate that i know that making a port is obviously harder than simply releasing a DRM-free version, but still there is some work involved.

AmadeusHein: Though they're having technical problems, which has to be understandable -- they should keep an open communication.
Yes, they should definitely keep an open communication. That i agree with. I just don't agree with the notion that they have to release the Steam and the DRM-free version at the same time by all means necessary, even if it means delaying the already finished Steam version. I mean, really? I don't think it's reasonable to request that they delay the Steam version until the DRM-free version is ready. Why sit on an already finished product? And it's obvious that PC developers will always go for the Steam version first. It's undeniable that Steam has the largest market share on the digital market by a long shot.

In fact i would be more pissed at them if they had artificially delayed an already finished product. This is the reason why i refuse to buy Rayman Legends. I found Ubisoft's decision to delay the already finished Wii U version for MONTHS just to match the release date for the Xbox 360/PS3 version to be really ridiculous. So, no, i'm not supporting Ubisoft on Rayman Legends. If i do buy it one day i'll make sure to buy a second-hand copy so Ubisoft doesn't get one single cent from me.

Official forum, yes, but "I heard John saying the plan was for this week, but we will have to see" hardly constitutes a confirmation... is raven2134 one of the developers? If so, wouldn't s/he know what the plans for the company are since they're only three people whom, I assume, share the decisions on what to do?

Niggles: Except i DID actually email them using their contact form around about a week and a half ago.
Sorry, didn't wanted to address you personally. I was thinking about doing a new post instead, but went with a reply as the first part was answering your question.
Later I thought about that it might come over wrongly, as it never was my intention to point at someone specific. Sorry if that was the case.

Android
iOs
Nothing to add to the discussion, just a heads up that Shadowrun Returns has been released for tablets.

Umm, well technically even the original version is well optimized for tablet input, but naturally you need a Windows based one. I do own one, and Shadowrun Returns is actually one of the best/most compatible tablet games available here on GOG.

I stand corrected then. Anyway, the tablet port took nearly 6 months to be released, so my point still stands, it's not very reasonable to demand a simultaneous release accross every single platform.

Well, I read this as "John (i.e. the sole programmer of the team) is currently working on it, and we will get it to GOG as soon as he's finished. Hopefully this week". Not a decisions from the company, just work to be done, which I can relate to when I see the "fluctuating deadline" of some of my own projects...
What a team. No one knows what the other is doing. Presumably they are in dispute. The team now has a lot of money, and the programmer must do all the work (eliminating bugs, rewriting code). Maybe he is on strike and wants more money for his work (a bigger slice of the cake) .... who knows ...

It's really funny :D I still don't know why they aren't hire another programmer with a lot of money :S
Well i guess it's not surprising that former bioware devs show the same antics and shadiness as bioware does nowadays.
My money went to blackguards by now, oh well.

it is difficult to find good game programmers with a lot of money, they tend to be broke...

Why do you presume they are in dispute?

Why do you say the team NOW has a lot of money? They had almost $3/4 million, 18 months ago.
