GOG is totally dead. Try submitting a game there or contacting anyone.

Dead platform. The origina owner got the site back and does literally nothing with it.

They just released four games yesterday and looking at the news reel it seems they release a bunch of games every day. They're also running a summer sale right now. I doubt they're anywhere close to being dead.

They are known to take their time when it comes to developer submissions (and that time can be quite long) but that was the case since pretty much forever, not something that happened with the new/original owner.

  • Imagine if Steam or App Store or Google Play or anybody serious said:

    "We approved 4 new games today"

    Dead platform.

    • If your game wasn't approved or they didn't respond back there are better avenues than writing these pointless messages on HN.

Is it? A few weeks ago I had to contact support to remove some games from my account and the response time was decent.

  • I am curious why you had to remove them. Was it content reasons? Was it you were moving and ownership of them in your new home isn't legal?

    • For some reason the user can't remove games from their account and it has to be done by support. A while ago they had an "anti-censorship" promotion with several games. I wanted Postal, but I didn't know I'd get all the games in the promotion added to my account at the same time, and it was like a dozen porn games I didn't want.

I had to do a refund earlier this year, gog processed it very quickly.

It could have been automated though.
