Releasing on GOG?

[StoneLegionYT]

Either way I don't think you guys will see GOG at release sorry. Times have not quite changed here yet but they are getting better. At least we don't get modified on our saves

I'm sad, but I will wait for the GoG release. I own X3 there and I want X4 there too.

GOG is awesome and very supportive and I doubt eats as much profit as steam does.

Actually, the general consensus is that both Gog and Steam take 30% of the profit from the sold game while the remainder goes toward the developers. Both companies tend to keep their reigns on this information (which is not surprising, since they don't want their competitors to know otherwise they could get undercut), humblebundle is the only one that is actually open in the amount they take, which is only 5%.

However, I would be against Gog getting a release, largely because of how their CEO has acted and ridiculed those who use Steam (I won't repeat what he said, but it wasn't very good and has caused Gog to lose sales and harmed their rep) and thus I won't support any companies whose CEO is going to outright attack their customers (as I used to buy from them) or potential, future, customers.

The OP's question was answered by CBJ and we are getting way off any X4 topic here - so … <click>

Dear Egosoft Team,
congratulation for your long work on X4 Foundation. Being an old fan of your series, I will surely play your new title but I would be very pleased to buy it on GOG which guarantees high quality handling for games and player support.

I will not consider to buy any high-moddable games (like yours) on Steam because of possible interface interferences that make them prone to crashes or malfunctions wheras the game would otherwise run fine. This is however NOT a downgrade in any way for Steam, so please don't mis-read this.

Thanks very much
