Please Give Us GOG Version

We have Bastion and Transistor on GOG already, why not Pyre?

Here we come again. Visit piratbay and tell me that cracking a steam game is so hard, will ya?

Dude.

I'm only saying it's another minor barrier to piracy and another chance someone will buy it, rather than go to the trouble of piracy.

it's like you aren't even reading my posts, just picking out the sentences you hate.

You don't make any sense. How would the DRM-free version be any easier to get a hand on than a cracked version ? You still have to go to a pirate site to get it, you get your fraudulent download from the same sources. It's not like you just have to type a special URL to freely access all of GOG games you know ?

I'm just supporting GoG because I like the company and storefront. Nothing more than that. If I had a choice between GoG and Steam, I would go GoG.

So yeah, I'd second the desire to see a GoG release. Probably still going to buy it at release day on steam, but I'd love a GoG option.

I will wait for the GoG Release to buy it.
Really hope it won't take too long to come to GoG.

To be clear, at this point we have no plans for any other version of Pyre besides the ones launching on PS4 and Steam on July 25, 2017.

We have not ruled out the possibility of bringing the game to other platforms in the future, and did so with our previous two games, following their initial success on their launch platforms. But, as a small team of 12, we have put all our focus into this initial launch. Bringing games to multiple platforms can be very costly, especially for a small team, and come at the direct cost of the overall quality of the game -- that's why we choose to focus on a small number of initial platforms at launch, and this is the most we've been able to support in the past. We appreciate your understanding in this and thank you for your interest in seeing Pyre come to more platforms than the ones we've chosen to support.

I would be fully behind a DRM free version and would be giddy for it. That being said I get your logic ad thank you for even considering it. You already have my attention with a Linux version, a DRM free Linux version would just be the cherry on top.

Steam is far better and will always be better than GoG. The only advantage of GoG is no Drm which isn't anything compared to what Steam offers (although people try to argue this to the death). Other than that, it's not worth putting on GoG. Even the devs acknowledge this.

"Missing out on sales!!!" (Can't prove it will sell on GoG) and GoG's userbase is shallow as it is small.

Steam will always be the smart developers path to success in the pc demographic.

"I'm not going to elaborate any further, just trust me on this one, I'm a doctor."

Anyway, I think I'm just going to grab it on Humble Bundle. This way, when the DRM-free version get released, I'll get it too while still playing the game some month in advance compared to the GOG release.

didn't think I'd need to "elaborate" any further as it's common sense but for the GoG users who don't know or want to accept the truth, I'll explain.

Steam offers a social experience to all gamers, just look at yourself and other GoG users participating on the Steam forums to get developers attention. Whether you want to engage in conversations with users or developers, this is the place to do it as the GoG forums are dead.

The market - buying, selling, trading things. GoG doesn't have one, plain and simple. And for those GoG users who say "B... But... Scammers!!" You can't get scammed if you follow Steams protocal recommendations and security and it's the simplest thing in the world.

Achievements, trading cards and an actual profile. Great things to show off individualism. Nothing more, nothing less. Plus, trading cards are free money because you can sell them.

Early Access games, they're great and the system is good, regardless of the few (and I mean very few) developers who abandon early access titles, it's still a great system.

Indies born out of Steam's Greenlight, Greenlight has spawned some amazing indie titles plain and simple. Whether you play them or not does not void this fact.

Steam Big Picture for an actual living room experience. Yes, I said it. Along with Steam link.

Steam workshop for user-content. Even if it's not Nexus, it's something.

A mobile app to engage with all features on the go. Where is GoG's? Why do we have to use a crappy website version on our phones?

The list goes on and on, do you see it now? And for people that claim that content is lost due to "forced updates" that is proven untrue as Steam users always create mods to restore that.

Also,you can disable forced updates somewhere in the options,I think.

Honestly, i only use Steam, but that's because of Steam Gift Cards, which is something that GoG doesn't have(if they have, those cards aren't being sold where i live) unfortunately.

I just like the cards because it introduces a physical aspect to Steam, no credit card verification, no accidental charge backs, and better yet, it gives a specific value and budget that i can see, somehow i feel like seeing the money i spent on cards gives me a good idea of how much money i have spent already and works as a way for me to limit myself, for example, with a 20 Euros card i limit myself to only 20 Euros on Steam and avoid spending more than that even on sales.

I don't know, i just really like the Steam Gift Cards, and the lack of them for GoG makes me use Steam more, it also helps that Steam's DRM never ever caused me any problem, and i have always been able to play my games wherever i wanted...except online games when i am offline, but those were online multiplayer games which require a player to be online anyways.

At this point its Community (Steam) vs. No DRM (GoG) for me.
Both are very tempting with their pros and cons.

I stopped buying games from steam. After many customer unfriendly decisions the recent changes to the gift system gave me the final push to look for other platforms. So if any of the dev's is reading this i will only buy the game on GoG (well or another platform that isnt steam). I still wish you good luck with your game and hope there will be a chance to play it that sends no money to valve.

Dude, save the 200 essay for yourself next time, will ya? When I can buy something on steam or GOG, I'll go with GOG. And if you think steam is anti-thieving thing, I recommend visiting some pirate's webs where you can download literally every single game from steam, so save these essays for yourself.

Funny how that double standard works. I strongly suspect that, far from being a starry eyed, cd project-propagandized anti-DRM crusader, he's one of those individuals who have no problem paying full price for overhyped AAA junkware at launch and pirating indie games.

You're funny, son.

You are full of it, kid! You don't even know what you are talking about! Steam is the same as GOG (I have both). With the exception that GOG has far less sellections and sales that steam.

Why did you even post this here! Go to GOG or play with a Geralt doll!

That's because you want to return all the games you've played. And you $uck.
And you're butt hurt like OP!
