Hey there! Pretty new user here. I'm posting this maybe I'll get some answers from the community or maybe from a blue as you guys call GOG Representatives. When I was little a had a few games that marked my childhood. One of them was Aurora Watching. I did some research on Internet and I couldn't find any place to buy this game. It's not the best or the brightest game out there from the early 2000s but I'd like to play it again. On Wiki it says that Metropolis Software the devs that produced it are a division of CD Projekt so my answer is why it isn't up on GOG Store? Maybe some IP rights? Or Wiki info is not accurate? Thanks for your answers!
PS: The game is also known as Gorky Zero 2: Aurora Watching or Soldier Elite: Zero Hour. (NA release problably)

Why is this not on GOG? Developers refuse to sell on GOG?
It's probably not on GOG for a combination of very few people wishlisting on the official GOG community wishlist, and those who have wishlisted it not checking first to see if someone else had already submitted it and just voting on the existing entry, ending up with several entries with very low vote counts instead of onee with many more counts.

Someone who really wants to see this game on GOG should go through the wishlist and report all of the duplicates for this game so they get merged into a single entry with the total votes all together at least, and others who haven't voted for it should go ahead and vote for it also:

https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/gorky_02_aurora_watching_pc
https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/gorky_zero_2_aurora_watching
https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/aurora_watching
https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/soldier_elite

Also, this game appears to be owned by THQ Nordic whom are one of the most GOG friendly game publishers out there, and whom have brought a number of other games to GOG in the past after discussions arose in the forums driving up interest in the games. One game is Spellforce Faith in Destiny and its addons for example. There are THQ Nordic people in the forums here too so perhaps someone could catch the attention of someone there and point this forum thread out to them after having the wishlist optimized as mentioned above.

Public Service Announcement: Before submitting new games to the GOG wishlist, search the wishlist to see if the game(s) have already been submitted and vote on the pre-existing entries also, and be sure to investigate if a given game is known by multiple alternative names regionally etc. first too.

Hope this helps.
Thanks for anwers again. And yes I did check and voted on the official Wishlist, but this game has very few votes. Anyway I don't wanna be that person that looks on the empthy side of a glass but it seems to me that the official wishlist has little impact on the distribution deals GOG can get their hands on. There are a lot of good old games that really deserve to be here (to be optimized and make them work on newer systems out of the box). I shuffled all that list and saw many entries with a lot of votes and by a lot I mean 10 or 20k+ votes that aren't released and problably the won't be in the near future.
