Niggles: Yeah but what if that game has poor reviews generally speaking? (critics and users)

Matruchus: That didn't stop gog releasing broken games with bad reviews. Example: Caribbean, 1849, Pixel Piracy, Mount&Blade: Viking Conquest. Though its fair to point out these games are now fixed and playable (which they weren't on release).
I think they should rather refuse to sell games until they are fixed if they want their "quality control" argument to have any weight. I'd rather have a Toast Simulator or this ridiculous Surgeon Simulator nobody asked for (although I'd prefer the Goat over both) as long as they are working instead of the greatest RPG of all time which won't even run stable for 5 minutes.
I wouldn't buy either though and don't understand the requirements either.

Never actually heard of this one, looks ok. Voted!

Niggles: Sorry i meant games which are outright bad or poorly received (as opposed to broken - which can be fixed. bag games are... bad games...)
Off the top of my head there's Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods, Daikatana, Earthworm Jim 3D, Fist Puncher, Master of Orion 3... all games with generally poor to scathing reviews at release, yet they somehow made it here anyway.

For my own personal selfish interest, I don't like GOG alledged reliance on the wishlist. It doesn' work at all for new titles unless they had a huge marketing campaign or were amidst some stupid controversy. And anyway, the titles I'm most interested in will never have many wishlist votes.
But then, what a sad world this would be if stores only sold starwars, marvel, jurassic park or transformer movies.

And yet I like that all those games are here. Some complete -although poorly- a series of games, and some others are/were relevant at their time. And in the case of Daikatana, at least, I hear it's more of an average FPS but the expectations at the time were too big for its own good.

I didn't even know Earthworm Jim 3D existed. xD

Hushed: I dislike buying games multiple times.

I want to get Thea, and everything I've heard or seen on it sounds awesome. But their website said the game was rejected for GOG release. Obviously I have no context, I just know that this kind of game is my bag, baby. Take my money?
I expected some ambitious but eyebleeding one-man-show pixelart stuff when clicking the link to the game; but this looks actually pretty & sounds interesting. I fail to see the logic in this games rejection; failing to release on the same day as steam means loosing sales to them.

Sadly, you were better off not knowing. >.>

always thought they brought Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods and MOO3 on here for the sake of completionists. Daikatana has infamy ;). Dunno about the other two...
Voted. Hoping for a GOG change of mind.
Easy solution: switch to Linux and get it for free! ^_^
It really is an awesome game, with a fresh take on the genre. I only feel a little bit let down by the writing though, but that might be because I'm still spoiled from Sunless Sea.

Woah, thanks from a fellow penguin for the hint.
The whole thread you linked seems to show, that this dev is a really nice guy, hopefully they will have stuff on GoG in the future. It was a pleasure reading this and I'll try the game right away.
Unity and the savvy Linux community seem to seriously encourage devs to at least take a short look at Linux now and then, awesome!

Edit: The current build seems to work pretty well on my system (apart from the sound in the intro video) and is DRM free. :)

So I just wanted to give this a bump!

I had NO clue this game existed until I saw klumpen mention it in the Underrail release thread, as well as its Linux build. After watching like, seconds of a Youtube I decided everything about the game looked awesome and actually managed to get it running with zero experience, on my Linux boot with Wine.

So, it WAS my intention to either bump this thread (found it with a search) or start a new one along with a link to the wishlist... except when I found the wishlist to link, someone already mentioned that the dev says it's coming to GoG!

So, super excited, love the notion that the dev put the Linux build out there for people to mess around with to their hearts' content and thought a game like this was worthy of a bump and a little publicity from yours truly before it shows up!

I knew the game would be great when I made it about 15 minutes into it and there was already a Babayaga reference ;)

Anyway, anyone have any pointers or feel like BSing about this one?
It's coming to GOG! :-)
