MMLN: I am not really sure, if this counts as a second class citizen's, as it is not offered on the Other storefront, but it is offered on the developer website.

Avernum 1 and Avernum 2 Hintbooks are not available on GOG, and it would be nice if Falran could talk with the developer about the possibility of them on GOG storefront as well.

EDIT: That would be also nice for for first two Avadon games.

omega64: Like, the hintbooks are included with a purchase on the developer website?
They are available as a separate “DLC” purchase/download at developer website.

gogtrial34987: I think that's overly harsh. I didn't read this as a typical GOG PR move at all - it didn't get any marketing effort behind it (not even a news post), nor (from the looks of it) a lot of internal resources; just two support people who got permission to spend a percentage of their time chasing up missing content and report about it on the forum. And then the reality turned out to be that it's easier to convince developers to add missing DLC (which directly convert to extra money for them) than missing updates (which only give those developers nebulous goodwill, and probably are missing for actual reasons which would take a lot of effort to overcome).

I hope they'll continue working on this, but I can also understand if they themselves are disappointed by the comparative lack of results and no longer consider it worth celebrating in that thread. Though for all we know, maybe Falran is just on vacation this week, and things'll continue as before next week?
Yes, the reality turns out that it is much easier to get stuff on GOG that makes ADDITIONAL money for the devs AND GOG instead of REQUESTING ... and DEMANDING to give their customers what they simply already paid for. No, I was not even harsh enough to them. All they can do is talk and talk and we won't get these updates in my lifetime because GOG simply does not care enough since they already made the money they wanted. It always was up to GOG how much pressure they would put on their partners to make them deliver what their customers paid for and GOG simply does not want to put any pressure on their scammer partners and that is the reason why this list is so long and will grow over time. How anybody can defend this is beyond me.

MMLN: I would not completely dismiss the effort yet. The initiative is only few months old. From what I read in this thread, lot of people here say, how hard it is to get in touch with some of the devs/publishers, and in some cases even harder to make them care *shruggs*
Oh yes, as a CUSTOMER who has no power at all and no contract at all it is pretty hard. These "partners" of GOG however have a legal contract with them so it should be far more easy for GOG to get in contact with them.

triock: Nope, separate purchase for each hintbook.

edit: see pic ;)
Thanks both! Will add it later
Men of War was removed from the store a few weeks ago so it should be moved to the Removed Games tab
So... after adding the DLCs on GOG, these games continue to receive updates on Steam but not on GOG.

I had added them to my wishlist to see if they'd start updating regularly - I didn't believe much they would, I admit, and as expected...

Farmer's Life
GOG Version: 1.1.62 - 2026-07-17
Steam Version: Hotfix 1.1.7 - 2026-09-08 (1 update)

House Builder
GOG Version: 1.1.2d - 2026-07-22
Steam Version: 2026-08-26 (3 updates)

Aquarist
GOG Version: Full Release 1.0.176 - 2026-07-17
Steam Version: Hotfix 3 - 2026-09-03 (4 updates - 1, the latest, seems a fix only for Steam Deck)

Note: GOG Version dates are when builds were made available on GOG (according to GOGDB website).

---

Ok, are almost 2 months, not a year, but it looks like the same trend as before for this Publisher/Dev(s?), unfortunately. 1 update on GOG... then only Steam (till possible).

About House Builder:

I don't know if this one has been reported but The Temple of Elemental Evil didn't recived any update since last year, three patches, two official patches and one beta were added.
This is not the only game from SNEG that don't recived patches, Blade of Darkness didn't recived the latest patch. Hope GOG support do something about it.

And - moreover - The Temple of Elemental Evil never goes on sale on GOG (after the first 10% on launch of the SNEG "Updated Edition"), but regularly on Steam (20% in various sales from February 2026 and 33% in various sales from May 2026).
