I'm more bothered by the lack of communication, myself. It's not that hard for the manager of whatever team is packaging the update to send an email to a PR person, and then for PR to drop three sentences just to tell us a timeframe. Not even looking for a deadline, here, just a casual "Hey, we've been given the update and are working on it for you guys! Yay!"

I've got no problem waiting. Waiting in silence is problematic and unnecessary.

Boooo.

There is nobody in the office to do that... I don't know how many GoG employ but its just coming to morning there now and likely nobody is even in the office yet.
Its not entirely GoGs fault (unless you think they should be working 24hrs a day) its mostly SQUADS as they keep doing 'Android' style launches. The Nexus phones (steam) get the content straight away, the Samsung phones (GoG) get the updates after everyone else has tinkered with it.
What SQUAD should be doing is an iphone type launch whereby the whole world goes live at exactly the same time.
Steam and GoG work very differently, the Devs upload the files to steam and hit go themselves once the content is ready. GoG needs time to tinker with the product so if its not handed over a few days before it goes live on steam it will always lag behind.
I've already made the decision begrudgingly that anything being regularly updated has to be bought on steam, GoG is now only for 'Good old Games' that wont receive regular updates.
Not that i hold them responsible its just the way of the world if you want things prompt and aren't overly worried about DRM.

That's a lot of straw you're putting in my.....well, comment. A news posting of some kind in the last few days (direct from a GoG rep) would have been satisfying enough. I'm not demanding a blow-by-blow of the update process, just any news or comment at any point resonably before or during the process. If there's been any GoG PR statement about the KSP update release in.....I dunno, the past month, I've missed it.

Crickets bother me, at least enough to find a related forum and comment about the presence of crickets.

I really cant see it as unfair to suggest that GoG has a sticky thread on their own forum for a known upcomming update with.....some kind of info. Any kind would be a marked improvement.

I did ramble a bit, my point was more that maybe its hard for GoG to quote when maybe they haven't been given any info from the developer.
All speculation really but as i said in a perfect world GoG would have got the patch a week ago and it would have been launched at the same time on all platforms.

Guys/gals, really...

1. This is 1.2-pre thread. The 1.2 thread is here.
2. SQUAD has given information in the linked above stream that they are gonna release in this order: a) Steam, b) Website, c) "Vendors" (with "GOG" and "Greenmangaming" audibly hearable in that stream)
3. GOG is known for some cool-off period 1-3 days. For me - its tolerable, as price for being drm-less and client-less.
