Earlier today, it was assumed that the game SkateBIRD was coming to @GOGcom. After receiving one message from them that undercut a fellow indie dev, we have decided not to list our game in their store.

You might see we have another game on there now. I've sent an email to start the process of them removing it. I wouldn't advise buying it during the sale as a result, since no idea how they handle that. That said, it's an old game that sold near 0, so prob not an issue for ya.

"why drop them now?" - because they reached my breaking point of put-up-with-shit. "didn't they already do bad shit?" - yes, and then they would fire that social media person and say oh hey we'll do better, so I'd give em benefit of doubt etc. I've just run out of doubt benefit.

"was SkateBIRD actually greenlit on GOG yet?" - no, they'd gotten an early build, said hey submit when it done, and were planning to review it close to launch as they usually do. Given the game's profile and our prior relationship, though, it was likely a shoo-in for acceptance.

"will there still be DRM free SkateBIRD somewhere?" - as a rule, we never enable Steam's DRM stuff anyways, but yes the plan was always to offer a DRM free version via http://itch.io . That's likely how we'll distribute the game to KS backers too (itch key + Steam key).

Also, I see people conflating this with Dadpunk game and - uh no I didn't even fully realize that GOG was related to CDPR. This is purely because of GOG's pattern of shit stirring. They've been a borderline bad actor for years, and keep doing stuff like "this" then back pedaling.
