Trilarion: You could think about automatically generated responses then. Like:

- Your submission was received and will enter the review stage within the next days.
- Your submission is now in review, the average review time is XX days.
- Weekly update: your submission is still under review, for further enquiries respond to this email.
...
This could be a standard and it shouldn't be too difficult to implement. After all, most of what makes waiting for this kind of stuff so stressful isn't the wait itself but the silence.

...like proper forum search.

Have you seen a doctor about that?

Leroux: If there's one indie game that belongs on GOG it's Knights of the Chalice. I know there are members of the GOG staff who like it a lot, and up until now the dev has been very reluctant towards the idea of selling his game anywhere else than on his website. If he applied and GOG did not react at all, that would be very weird indeed .

Then again, other devs have claimed that GOG rejected or ignored their game when GOG apparantly hadn't even received their e-mail ...

SirPrimalform: They didn't contact GOG about KotC as far as I can tell, but one called Battle of the Sands.
Oh, okay, that would make more sense. I bet if the dev had offered KotC, too, he'd have gotten a much quicker reply. ;)

That's exactly what I had in mind, just zero response is a really bad idea. Anyway, if the silence is due to huge response from Indie devs then that's really promising.

Oh, and the dev in question said he wouldn't mind getting both his new RTS and Kinghts of the Chalice onto gog. Not sure if he formally applied both or just the first one though.
I have personally sent multiple letters to many indie devs and informing them that I want their good indie game(s) on GOG
Quoted from Starmaker:
'I ❤love❤ how the guy offers a game about megacorps duking it out immediately above a libertarian tract.'

Mmm, so, just because I write a libertarian book, I'm not supposed to make a game about megacorporations? I don't see why. In the real world, large monopolistic companies emerge thanks to the action of governments, which grant them favours and exclusive licences. In the game's world, it is the same, except that the large companies ended up taking over governments. Being a libertarian does not mean that one naively believes that all companies are philanthropic and self restrained. Open competition and a justice system are still needed to produce the best outcome (many small firms offering a high level of quality at low prices). It would be unacceptable to have a company hiring thugs to brutalize its rivals :-)

And concerning the price, I would want the price to be at the level that maximises my income, just like any other developer would. Maybe when you've made your own RPG, we can talk again about cost and price?
