Obsidian in GOG

[Azgiliat]

Who can I ask if Obsidian will be releasing their games on the GOG store in the future? Gounded hasn't been released in GOG ... so I'm wondering if the next games will be in GOG. I would love to see their games there.

Well, with Obsidian being owned by Microsoft it might not be entirely up to Obsidian. Microsoft does release on steam, so 3rd party platforms aren't out of discussion. We will have to see.

Grounded is still in developement and it is constatly updating, multiplayer game - as I understand being curated platform GOG isn't the easiest store front to work with. I have seen game updates delayed by days or weeks due to verification process. Personally, I do hope Obsidian will keep releasing games through steam - Outer Words did come out on GOG, which is a good sign, though I am not sure if it is an example of things yet to come, considering OW was made mostly before Microsoft acquisition and with another publisher.

I wish I could get NwN2 on Steam. Obsidian needs to get on that.

Huh. It's strange it's not there. Who owns rights to it. Beamdog?

Not Atari, and especially not Beamdog. All rights to all the old D&D games (IE games plus the NwN games) have reverted to Hasbro.
