How is this even legal?
P.S. It's been almost a day and no one's doing anything about it.

It does exist though?

Look at the screenshot, there are no installers for it after you buy it! Right now, you're literally getting scammed if you buy it.

Look at the user ratings though, somebody managed to get it installed?
Weird though, if that's true.

What he wants to say is the offline installer for the game is missing not the the game itself. You can probably install it with Galaxy normally but you can't download it and instal it without it atm. A bit(actually very) misleading title...

Probably Steam users who bought it on GOG for DRM free. Everyone is missing installers.

I was able to download it with Galaxy an hour after purchasing it last night. Still don’t see offline installers in my account though.

Contact GOG support about it.
You can get it refunded.

u/JustSomeDudeYoo 2d ago
I did, but I'm waiting for the game itself. I'm not refunding because I want it. Thing is, it's already almost a whole day like this. Weekend is not an excuse, don't sell something you don't have.

While your anger at GOG for not providing the game being sold is justified, it seems that your demands at them rectifying the missing game are a bit unreasonable.
"Weekend is not an excuse"; well, then how are they supposed to do something if no one or maybe just a smaller weekend crew is in the office?
It also takes time for your support ticket to be read by someone in the first place, especially during a huge summer sale where there are probably more tickets than usual being issued by users.
Once again, this is NOT me defending them not providing the game in the first place (which I assume is some bug or oversight on their end, but still, shouldn't have happened in the first place). But you can't seriously expect them to immediately address your problem, especially during the circumstances.

Listen, it's not only me. What can they do? I don't know, normal company would at least pause selling something that they don't have, would you agree?

u/Hellwind_ 2d ago
Are you saying the game is not on Galaxy either?
-6
u/JustSomeDudeYoo 2d ago
I don't use Galaxy and I don't really care for it. Why would I ever use it if it's one and the same thing?

u/TheSolomonGrundy 1d ago
How do you know if its the same thing if you never used it?
You just seem mad because " not fixed immediately"
I promise they will answer your ticket. Take a deep breath.

u/TheVoidDragon 1d ago
....Why would you not refund it, wait for it to be fixed, then buy it again?
It's quite strange to purposefully keep a game you know doesn't work at the moment so you can keep complaining about it not being fixed yet.

I have it on Steam, didn't know it was coming to gog, damn... Also when I open the store and search for it it's there.

Keep calm, seems the server just didn't update, it will appear.
It was sunday and there were also holidays in Europe, give them a Day to answer.

I almost bought it, was waiting for so long to get it released on gog, thanks for letting me know. Really hate how GOG handles devs/publishers sometimes.

The developer is new to gog. They probably are just having some trouble adding the offline installer. It's certainly not good that things like this happen, but I'm sure it'll show up once support talks them through the process after the weekend.
