GOG got back to him after 2 weeks (which I find pretty fast).
80 days game gog vs steam pdf#
I would guess he first only sent them the trailer and/or the pdf he sent to Sony and Microsoft as well and GOG wasn't impressed, so he tried again 1 month before the release, maybe that time giving them a built. And they answered to me 2 weeks before the release that they were gonna give it a try." That dev says " I contacted them 3 months before, and another time one month before the release with _a better case_. Change a few of those heads, and how quickly will "DRM Free" be missing from the front page?Īs for this game, I don't know enough about it to have a view on whether it was good they passed on it or not, but in general there are plenty of not-so-great games here, shovelware if you wish, so I'm glad they have some review process before releasing games, and don't just vacuum up anything they find and put it in the store. Change that to more centralised top-down organisation, and fewer people have more control. Don't know much about their organisational structure, but lets just assume that the above is correct and they operate with a relatively flat structure. It tends to be a long drawn out process which encourages people to constantly voice displeasure and somewhat derail progress IMHO. In general I'm not too fond of overly long public product development cycles by any companies for any products.
Once they near completion, then make initial announcements and release in short order in final or near-final form. Dunno about CDPR as the game development studio is more opaque and I think they've proved their game making abilities beyond any reasonable doubt.įor most things GOG though I'd rather them use a top-down approach where they select projects to work on and follow a methodical approach to see them through. A lot of things appear to be done bottom-up at GOG which is not always the best approach, in particular for bigger things. Skeletonbow: They seem to have improved a bit over time in some aspects, but I think it is a fair assessment overall.
