PaterAlf: Bare Mettle Entertainment? The guys who took about $200 000 from a Kickstarter campaign and were supposed to develop a game (Sui Generis) that was supposed to be out in May 2014? And that made a completely different game (Exanima) instead? Which also isn't really out yet, but still in development? And who even stopped doing Kickstarter updates in November 2015.
I'm not sure, if I would take these guys as a reliable source when it comes to updates...
Honestly, I have no idea about the situation of Exanima, or pretty much any other game for that matter.
Bottom line, though, is that GOG should be far more proactive in ensuring the products offered on their site are up to date.
Regardless of whose fault it is (developers, publishers, GOG itself), in the end outdated titles reflect poorly on GOG first and foremost, as far as the average consumer is concerned.
But I guess I need to console myself with unwanted social media features instead.
JudasIscariot: As for Dead in Vinland, we are actually working with the developer as I write this so they can start updating the game on their own schedule like they would basically on Steam.
If it was just a matter of running a single script, I'd assume two work days sufficient to update to most recent version (1.5 on Steam).
Instead, GOG's is still at 1.2 from a week ago.
