amok: oh, RW, don't you ever change. that was a good laugh, thank you
Amok, go fuck yourself!
I don't have to put up with your idiocy.
Facts be facts. And anyone who puts any thought in it would realise I speak the truth.
If you see a Kickstarter asking for just $5000 to do a Switch version. See a Kickstarter for a video game asking for just $25,000, you question whether they are really going to deliver. Because those are substandard rates.
As a distributor like GoG, you would not want to commit to such a project a year ahead of its release date lest you get stuck with a rushed, featureless and incomplete game because the developers ran out of money.
Either that or they end up accepting Epic exclusive money and then GoG is on the hook promising to deliver a game that they lose out on the entire first year of sales.
Clearly, GoG was not impressed with the sales potential of this game in its current demo state. I don't think that is a bad call at all given the circumstances.
The developer's only other game retails for $2.99 and while it is very positively reviewed there are only 374 reviews over 2 years at that price. Or in other words, a $2.99 game that isn't selling well. It does not bode well for the potential sales of their new game which presumably will retail for far more.
Look, maybe the game will be surprisingly good. If it is, I highly suggest the developers submit it again just prior to release. Then GoG can judge the final product on its merits. As it stands, I think there is no doubt GoG made the current curation decision based on a demo about a year out from a final product.
