zlep: Well... "Buy our game now for half the price you'd pay for the same content on Steam (minus multiplayer). Maybe we'll add multiplayer later."

MarkoH01: "LAN multiplayer is not possible at this time as the current implementation still needs the Steam apis to function. I know it's dumb, but that's the situation :( "

So it seems as if they developed the game using the Steam API and they know it would require additional work (time and money) to even be able to have in on GOG as well. The y knew it would be unfair so they decided to cut down the price and they were open about it. I really don't know if we are treated as second class citizens here - I don't feel this way but sometimes you'll have to add the positive and negative things to see if the end result is positive or not.

flyme_tothemoon: Lower price is not an excuse. GOG shouldn't be treated as a platform for cut-down games at discounted prices.
And the devs made it pretty clear that they aren't going to bother solving the multiplayer problem if the sales won't meet their expectations.

Korotan: VTM Bloodlines is a patching issue. Because GoG automatic update the last fan patch which is only in english because the translation to other languages are doing other people it is only shown english even though if downgrade the fan patch you have german, france, russian and polish language too. Here is the list with all the patches: https://www.patches-scrolls.de/patch/4647/7/

MarkoH01: No, they made it clear that they CANNOT do that. There's a difference.

flyme_tothemoon: They made the game. And they made multiplayer on Steam. And now they "cannot" make multiplayer for the GOG version all of a sudden? Sure they can. But this would require effort on their part.

And when they say things like this: flyme_tothemoon: It's pretty obvious what their strategy is.

1. Make DRM-free version of the game with as little effort as possible.
2. Release it on GOG at a low price.
3. If it sells well enough - start working on making it feature-complete.
4. If it doesn't sell well enough - forget about it.

MarkoH01: No, they made it clear that they CANNOT do that. There's a difference. But as I said, it's just my opinion and of course everybody is free to disagree. I don't mind if the game will be added to the list even though I would not do it myself because of them being aware of the dilemma and being upfront about it - also offering the lower price as a counter measure.

ahhzz: I disagree. Just because a developer says they "cannot" do something, doesn't actually mean that. Reality is they could do something, but they chose not to. The only real question is how much trouble would it take, and how much is it worth it to them to cater to a small group of players.

flyme_tothemoon: Redout
Steam version has multiplayer, GOG doesn't.

Mawthra: Good to hear the list is getting updates, but this still would've been better served as an online spreadsheet outside of GOG where a handful of trusted users could've contributed to keeping it updated and organized... these threads become a chore to sift through
