The Sinking City --Uncut, Updated, and DRM-Free-- On sale for -85%

Doubt it. Apparently the Steam version was pirated by Nacon. The only official versions are on Origin and Gamesplanet.

i would not bet on that

I cannot see how that would ever happen.

I'm in the same boat. The game is in my whislist but with all these "trouble"... Still waiting T_T.

I don't know if it helps, but the game is on Origin as well (the Frogwares version). In some rare occasions, it's discounted. Unfortunately, not now.

Originally Focus Home Interactive wanted Frogwares to work on a Lovecraft game and then changed their mind and they brought in Cyanide to do it instead. Frogwares was pretty pissed off at both Focus Home and Cyanide so they left to make their own Lovecraft game. The issues between Frogwares and Nacron started because Nacron purchased Cyanide.

heh, exactly my thoughts, whenever there's trouble it's always Frogwares involved.
But of course we are to believe it's everyone else's fault all the time. They really choose their partners poorly lul

No, the developers didn't provide the newest bug fixes or the newest DLC to the Steam version because Nacon is publishing it on Steam. Once the publishing rights end with Nacon they'll more than likely either delist the current version and relaunch it with everything or take over the current store page and update the game.

Officially? No. But unofficially? Yes...

yep but they did add 2 dlcs and you can mod the game and add the missing dlcs , but not sure if the game has the latest updates

Who is right, and who is wrong?

Well, my understanding is that both parties should have handled things better. Frogwares because they did not ensure their contract and legal representation was the way it should have been, and then trying to browbeat everyone to see things their way. Reality does not conform to how we want it to be simply because we want it to be that way. As for Nacon, they did the typical "publish what we have and take the money" without regard for what was just and fair. Convincing a judge that you are legally "right" does not mean you are morally right.

I am sure that if both parties had each others interests at heart, they could have worked things out to the benefit of both, but that is not the world in which we currently live. Given the choice of the two, I'd rather have the updated and bugfixed version from the dev's.

Usually Steam patches all their games, whereas another platform like GOG would make it optional (to please the romantics who prefer vanilla unpatched games).

How come Steam has an outdated version it doesn't make sense

I believe so.

As far as I know, the Gamesplanet and Origin distributions are supported by Frogwares. The Steam version is supported by Nacon (while they still retain the rights to it).

I can't understand for the life of me why they would rather release their version on Origin than on GOG. Especially considering Frogware's version is already DRM-Free, and I'm sure CD Projekt would be more than happy to put it on their storefront.

That sounds like a reasonable reaction.

your answer is in the title )

I doubt it since that version was also published by Nacon.
