Okay, after getting some news that A) most of the tinybuild games have been updated and B) some reconsideration that this was an anger induced overreaction on my part and C) has spurned discussion at the very least. I am shutting this boycott down.
Feel free to comment on the thread still, I am not going to ask it be locked.

Yay, another thread on this subject.

Tinybuild is the new "Galaxy opens Facebook when I click on a forum link"...
I only see 2 threads about it..
Well,I agree.But Gog should stop selling said games immediately,no if's or but's.
Never bought any of their games. My boycott in fullswing.

I've had a slight interest in graveyard keeper though. I suppose it's gone now.

There are 3 at least, one mine. I didn't see this one as I would've just commented in this one had I seen it. My bad. But it won't let me delete a thread. Some forums let the thread's author delete it but I guess not this one.

Dont worry about it. as long as you saw it.
I know boycotts dont have the best reputation for things, but I want to show GOG that at least some of us are willing to take action.
I'm going to buy Pathologic 2 one day, sorry. I totally understand the situation about publisher vision about piracy and updates but it has nothing to do with a game from a developer which I want to support and to play their game.

Funnily enough, that has actually been updated so far. :)

Do as you see fit, you are not required to join. like I said in the OP this is more to show GOG how we feel about TInybuild's policies, if you wish to purchase something go ahead. no one is being forced nor do I encourage thuggery, as the warning in the op states.

HA HA I wish.
I'm not even sure the quoted Tinybuild employee knew what he was talking about. Several of their games on GOG are up-to-date, some even have their soundtracks and art books here. So it doesn't seem to be an official company policy.

It might be a shitty thing that some of their games are outdated, but I don't see a reason to boycott them as a whole.
