Any reason for no GOG?

[Mana]

I have waiting for so long because I would rather buy it there, but if you can at the very least confirm you won't release it on gog i would buy it here.

intrested in gog version too

It's probably because Steam has way more users than GOG rather than anything to do with piracy, probably explains why Celeste isn't on Origin or Uplay too, and they only need to focus on Steam for rolling out updates etc. I have used GOG but I find Steam easier for getting updates for games, it's a lot better than the GOG client, plus I guess Steam achievements are important for a lot of people

The previous game was on GOG and this one is on itch.io

Not buying it unless it is released in GOG.

I'm on a similar boat. I delayed my purchase waiting for the GOG release, but now I've waited so long I've kinda lost interest.

same. Tried steam version some time ago, but since it featured steamworks - asked for a refund

Just asking: How can Steamworks be a reason for you to refund a game? Even more when it's a game you enjoy playing?

Ok, I understand what you mean. But as far as I know for most Steam games you don't need to launch Steam. You can directly start them from the folder where they were installed. But I don't know if Celeste is an exception (i.e. if Celeste contains any extra copy protection mechanisms).

Is this even a game pirates would target? I have always imagined more mainstream AAA titles being what they are after.

not for most in general. If game use steamworks drm, you cant launch it from its folder - steam will be launched instead

2018 has nearly came to its end and people keep mentioning pirates in gog-related threads. Cmon, this joke never was fun

Another vote for GOG release here, I enjoyed Towerfall even though I sucked at it and would be happy to support this dev further.

As for the people bringing up the age old "GOG = Piracy" argument, You people just don't get it do you? GOG or no GOG doesn't make a difference these days, to put it bluntly, a simple google search is enough to show a bunch of out of Steam downloads. It wouldn't make sense trying to prevent what has already happened.

And by not putting the game on GOG actually hurts sales, as there are quite a few people who simply won't buy the game anywhere else, starting with myself.

+1 for GOG release.
