Huh, well at least you can refund. But I hope this won't be followed by a Greenlight system too. I don't want GoG to be filled with shit like Steam is ATM

[/QUOTE] It might change in the future but I don't think it will, they are still very picky when it comes to putting games on GOG.

I didn't realize that Starbound was still in EA. I though it was officially released a while ago. [editline]28th January 2016[/editline] Same for Zomboid
[QUOTE]"If a game update breaks something or introduces unwanted changes, GOG Galaxy lets you easily rollback to any previous version of your game while you wait for the fixes. As an added bonus, rollback actually stores historical snapshots throughout a game's development - [B] that means you can always revisit any point in the game's history with a single click[/B]."[/QUOTE] [I]NIIIIICE[/I]
Okay GOG is looking at what Steam Did right... and what steam did wrong... they aren't copying All of steam, just the Good Parts.

Not surprised, they've announced years ago that they will do it. In fact, they've said that if the developer won't make any updates in terms of progress. It will be removed from the store.
