So, I really need to let off some steam (no pun intended) but in a constructive way.
The A Hat in Time release on GOG.com is a disgrace and a perfect example for why people chose to rather buy games over at Steam than on GOG.
1) The B-Side Soundtrack DLC which is available via Steam is not available on GOG.
2) The very cool screenshot function via the Camera Badge ingame item is broken since day one exclusively in the GOG version. Even after three frickin' patches - the new Co-Op update included- this has not been fixed. A thread on this:

3) The GOG version was promised to receive the modding tools. Even months after the stable release of the modding update tehre are still no tools available to us.

4) Patches not only came with rather huge delays: the latest bug fix patch relased months before the current DLC/co-op update hasn't been released atall on GOG.

To sum it up:
A Hat in Time is a prime example how GOG customers are treated like second class citizens by some developers. I really wish that both developers and GOG would do more to get us better game support on this still very important and cool platform. Over the years I have seen several users sticking or even switching to Steam because they have noticed how terrible the post-launch support for some GOG games is. It's sad and it has to stop.
Please GOG, get in touch with Gears for Breakfast and other developers abandoning their games here and try to revive support for these games.YOu always claim you to carefully curate the games being released on here and make them shine even after launch. It's all worth nothing if stuff like this keeps happening again and again.
For anyone interested there is a very long list of cases like this one in a GOGmix:
