NoNewTaleToTell: For what it's worth I found your joke to be funny!

zeogold: I was amused after I understood it.
It's definitely the kinda joke that makes you go "hahaha....awww I made myself sad".

Barry_Woodward: On 12 Oct 2013, I asked for an update:

"Discussions just sort of stopped. I think they are a lot more interested in The Witness than Braid."
It's been over two years, don't you think it's time for an other update? ;)

Great! I've been looking forward to play this for a while.

The Witness looks gorgeous! It would be an insta-buy for me. I own three copies of Braid on various platforms, and yet would gladly buy it again as a show of support for Mr. Blow.

I really liked Braid, but I zero interest in walking simulators, so whether this gets to GOG or not, I'll skip it.

I'd consider what you call a "walking simulator", but I have zero interest in puzzle games, which this game purports to be.

The man and the island: Wandering through Jonathan Blow’s The Witness
The Witness will launch on Windows PC and PlayStation 4 on January 26, 2016.

high rated
Doesn't seem like The Witness will be coming here:
"They aren't bad compared to XBLA's contracts in the 2010-ish era, but they are just written presuming that the developer is desperate and really wants to be on GoG -- which for successful developers is not the case. The general tactic of any game publisher is that they offer you a contract full of stuff you have to argue with them for a long time to take out -- IF you even have the bargaining power to push them, which most indies don't. At this point my tactic is to go meta and say look, fuck you, this process is insulting and wastes my time, you know which terms I am going to argue about, so just change those before you send me anything. I only bother arguing with the few big channels that I really need to be on. The thing about this tactic is it usually ends the conversation -- I think it tends to be too weird for publisher peoples' egos to actually deal with a statement like that ... so then they just don't get the game. It is fine though, we will ensure there is a DRM-free download somewhere."

Well at least there's that. :) Sucks that it won't be coming to GOG, but that seems like it could be GOG's own fault. (Or perhaps I'm missing something.)

Blow sounds like a real fucking asshole. Perhaps GOG isn't all that interested in dealing with fucking assholes.

It's insane that Jonathan "Freaking" Blow wants to release his games here and something can't be worked out. Come on, GOG, don't try to wheel and deal him, just make it happen!

He sounds like he wants distributors to treat him like he's a special snowflake. It wouldn't hurt to get his games here but if he's just going to be stuck up about normal business procedures...?

If Blow is so hard to deal with, why is Braid available on so many digital distribution stores?
