GOG and mac

Post by floyd ryan »

Hey @all,

when the game was released i didn't think for long. Instead i went to GoG and bought it instantly. Then i remembered... wait, GoG only sells the Windows version, but you wanted to play this very game on your MacBook.
So here i am. Is there any way to get the Mac version of the game or have i messed up completely. In my defense: Usually i think more before i do something. At least i learned that a no brainer doesn't mean you should bypass your brain. ;)

Sorry, you do need to have purchased it from either of the other locations to get access to the Mac version. I have heard a rumor that GOG might be expanding to OS X in the near future, but I do not know if there's any truth to that. I hope they do... more cross-platform stuff is better for everyone.

Have you tried contacting GoG about a refund? Then buy it again either direct or from steam. Personally I went direct, a) the steam conversion rate was off so it was cheaper direct, b) I wanted linux support C) You get the steam code anyway. Ultimately its a no brainer.

GOG freely gives refunds if you haven't downloaded the game or any of its extras yet. Once you've downloaded any (they keep those logs), they no longer give refunds.

Sorry I have no control over GOG's distribution or refunds. They don't currently offer Mac games at all, so there isn't even a code available that would let you download the Mac version from them :(
