Pretty much all of the other Zachtronics games are here, and I sure would rather purchase it here than Steam... But I can't find any mention of it anywhere. Has anyone heard any rumors?

After the fiasco with Opus Magnum, either GOG will pass on it and never budge, or Zachtronics will be less inclined to submit it for curation. But hopefully, GOG and Zachtronics had a talk about Opus Magnum, and their business relationship can continue.

Also the "Gee-oh-gee", would that be considered an equivalent for "oh goodie". Because if it is, that just occurred to me, even though GOG has been insisting that they are no longer "Good Old Games" for more that 5 years now(if not longer).
Molek-Syntez just got out of Early Access and probably still has a bit of polish needed for the bonus campaign. I think Zachtronics may wait until they are sure that they are done making any tweaks before GOG submission.

I do expect that Molek-Syntez will get accepted since Exapunks is here.

Yeah when they pretty much made it clear they didn't want to be known as "Good Old Games" anymore, I struggled a bit with to call them, usually just calling them "gog" as in rhymes with "dog" or "gog dot com.' But they seemed to make it clear that they preferred to be called GEE-OH-GEE (just phonetically the three letters) dot com. At least whenever I would hear one of them on videos and such they would almost always refer to themselves as gee-oh-gee dot com. So that's what I've now got accustomed to and call them whether typing or speaking.

And I don't recall the fiasco with Opus Magnum (my memory is failing me badly now) but I hope it doesn't result in them not getting this one. I really really like Zachtronics Games, and have purchased them all here (except the adventure game.... they should stick with the strategy/puzzle genre IMO LOL). TIS-100 is a wonderful game. I didn't even know about Exapunks until the poster above mentioned it... so I just purchased it.

Am now over 1500 in my gee-oh-gee dot com library... lol.

Basically, GOG rejected Zachtronics submission for Opus Magnum. Even Zachtronics was baffled by the decision, and the story got picked up by various gaming news outlets. I think this is the thread where the incident was discussed extensively:

Everything post-Opus Magnum (EXAPUNKS and Eliza) has found its way on GoG without any kerfuffle, so I don't see why this shouldn't be the case with MOLEK-SYNTEZ as well.
