GOG mentioned a celebration for the 'new' launch with a 25 percent off sale for the launch of Armello DRM-Free Edition, yet Steam users are receiving an identical 25 percent off for the game's one-year anniversary.
This particular case sets a precedent for future developers to consider DRM over supporting their customers. This news highlights an ongoing problem where GOG customers seem to constantly get the short end of the stick. Players on Steam have also been experiencing pop-ups in-game for the DLC, including players who already own the Usurpers Hero Pack. As recently as 10 days ago, League of Geeks had discussed looking into ways to add the DLC into the game, but it appears none of the avenues they looked at were possible. It's a pity."Īt first, it might seem the DLC is incompatible because the DLC-owning players couldn't be paired with players who hadn't bought the DLC, but this proves not to be the case. "But I'm definitely not supporting these practices. "I was thinking about buying Armello, because it looked lovely," forum poster Contra001 wrote. Putting a game up for sale somewhere is a commitment that doesn't stop once it seizes to be wholly favourable to the seller." "What's to say they won't drop those after release as well? Likewise, making it clear in that way that you're not treating your customers equally is not a good way to make people trust your product.
"The thing is, not properly supporting your products is a bad signal to give off when you're working on a multiplatform release," GOG forum poster Fortuk posted. Though it is a mystery which specific updates will be supported and which will not, League of Geeks has made the soundtrack DLC available on GOG in the past. As of now, the only way to get the complete version of the game with all future updates is to re-purchase the game on Steam. Some backers who supported the game and brought it to life had no notice of the DLC restriction, and others might have selected GOG only to be told they have chosen the wrong version.
Many GOG users expressed their disappointment in the page comments for unknowingly buying an inferior version of the game, and not being told beforehand.
