IAmSinistar: Ah, I thought they were infamous for not providing the German translations. Perhaps that was someone else. Or folks were highly upset at these two omissions.
Grargar: It was Daedalic alright. Deponia 3 initially shipped without the German language (and the game was released 1 month later on GOG than other stores) and was added months later. When asked why Chains of Satinav and Memoria were released on GOG without German language, Daedalic gave two different explanations:
1) There is no regional pricing in GOG (Obviously, not true anymore)
2) Deep Silver holds the rights for the German language, since they are distributing the retail versions in Germany (That doesn't explain, though, why Steam has German for both games).
The Retail version needs Steam. The GOG-Version is the only drm-free one available.
IAmSinistar: Thanks for the response re: Daedalic & German language packs. Glad to know my memory wasn't entirely faulty in that regard. And yes, an ugly and obnoxious business, that.
moonshineshadow: To be honest I use almost every possibility to rant about Daedalic. But yeah I got pissed not only by the things they are doing but also since they were very unpolite and telling me that I was just a cheap skate buying their games at dumping prices as reason why they were unpolite -.-
Well In that case you have every right to pissed about them. What dickish behaviour from them.
