Yeah, it actually seems it's unlikely to be caused by a twitter post, if that was the reason they'd have publicly stated it already as it's basically nothing more than a publicity stunt (albeit targeting the people who won't buy your games in the first place). I would still very much like to hear Hinterland's reason why they've decided to pull their game from GOG. That said, GOG's use of that particular hashtag while this whole anti-trans kerfuffle is going on might not have been the best idea. Quoting: Brisse Quoting: Guest Quoting: ixnariI must be jaded as hell, because I thought that tweet was pretty funny.
If you decide you want it on GOG, find it here for now. So after November 7th (tomorrow) you will have either Humble Store or Steam. I don't want to speculate on it too much, but perhaps it's as a result of GOG's recent dumb tweet.
#THE LONG DARK UPDATES UPDATE#
No reason, however, has been given by either party on why this is happening, so I have reached out to Hinterland to see if they can let us know why and I will update this article if they reply.
They also clarified here the agreement on updates. All owners will also have access to updates even after the game’s removal. Those who already own the games, or will purchase them before this Wednesday, will of course still be able to access them through their library.
If you were not sure whether you wish to have this exploration-survival game or not, now is a good time to decide :) We'd like to give you a heads-up that on November 7th, 2pm UTC, The Long Dark will be removed from our catalog. This only usually happens when developers are unhappy with GOG in terms of features, service or the "hassle" of supporting more than one store. What's even stranger, is that GOG have an agreement with the developer that anyone who currently owns it or purchases it up until it leaves will still get updates to it. Here's a curious one, the survival adventure The Long Dark from Hinterland Studio is going to be leaving GOG.
