Fucking unbelievable the update still not available here. Truly speechless.

It gets worse.

This sucks so much. I've been checking this thread almost every day since the OP post. I want to make stereoscopic 3D work for this specific version and I just can't until it's released.

I already paid for this game, so as time passes I'm feeling more and more entitled to eventually get an "alternative" DRM free version, just to be done with what I want to do.

All I can say is that I'm glad I got an extra free copy on the Bethesda Laucher back then, so I can play the Enhanced Update there but yeah, very disappointed in GOG and it's only going to get worse:

People, can we have done with the alarmist nonsense and the whining? Hmm? Quake Enhanced is coming to GOG.

Patience is a virtue, latch on to the ideal and quit with the childish complaining.

Still no statement from GOG.
Thank god for cheap steam keys.
Won't have to rebuy in the future though, note taken.

For awhile I cared, but, frankly, I've played the Steam version, and I've also been playing through the game with the GOG version with the Dark Places source port and.......I prefer the source port. The two new episides are nothing to write home about. The only real benefit is that the music is already implemented correctly, but I have all my Quake mods tucked away in a little folder, including the original music for all 3 official releases so......at this point, it doesn't matter to me. It may also be worth keeping in mind the massive blowback GOG received from the Hitman release and the fact that they may not be willing to include what Bethesda is demanding in the wake of that incident.

I don't really see a correlation. The Hitman debacle was for the artificial need of storing progression (a system that was basically the point of the game) on a remote server, hence, a DRM scheme. Here we are talking about online services; for what I've read, online multiplayer, which could be an issue, the featured mods, which is just a service like the one implemented in Dying Light (which works on GoG, although we didn't get all the events because we decided to support GoG) and your generic "we are going to gather data and sell it to third parties", which should be a way bigger deal than it is.

Still, here the main problem is the silence from GoG since launch, specially after we got told that we were getting the update and that, of course, we are left screwed with nothing for our trouble of supporting this shop. Is not like we can get the game anywhere else.

And?

Actually the worst part was announcing that it would be coming when it turns out that was a lie. Should have just said the truth that they wish it were coming but not currently working on it.

Missed the chance to play multiplayer when the player population was high when it first released.

We're not talking a $70 game here, if you wanted to play it that badly when it was a fresh release, it was only gonna set you back $10.00!

People still play Quakeworld. As they have for 25 years.

Still nothing news about this... very likely not coming anymore.

That's very likely with how long it's been.
