They do not own the rights at all. That article was completely wrong about the situation, as /u/OwlcatStarrok said when this was posted here in the subreddit.
Correct. That trade from one publisher to another didn't involve us in any way. We learned about it when people started to come to us pointing at this article.
I would finally enjoy playing this CRGP. But it's not the price for me. It's this:
From GOG Comments:
The TL;DR is that the game requires you to allow Owlcat Games the ability to download third-party software onto your computer. This external software is permitted to scrape your machine for data, including hardware specs and other installed apps. The data is supposedly anonymized, but is geolocated. The scraped information is then permitted to be used for marketing purposes with any of Owlcat's marketing partners.
That comment is probably related to a single case a few years ago, where in a patch we tried to add a tool that would have the game report its first launch to us so that we'd see the effectiveness of our sales. We directly highlighted that in the patch notes to make sure people are aware, but that caused such an outrage and explosion of negative feedback, that it took us less than one hour to decide to roll that back, and about 8 hours to hotfix it out.
We don't approach any data collection bullsh*t by a mile since then. We can't even make the "N % players have romanced character X"-like posts because we don't have access to that kind of data. Even if it could be useful to actually see some in-game player decision stats for improving the game, it's not worth the risks after that incident.
Our only 'data collection' are surveys and polls, and the saves from bugreports (with logs and PC specs) that you send us when you press ALT+B to report a bug. These are processed...

What about the Characters becoming invulnerable after Lost Chapel boss fight and it's still in the game after 3 years of reports? What's the point of the report button then.
There doesn't seem to be any noticeable amount of reports on this, so this is probably a rare problem or unique for you. Can you please send a report just before the battle? And do you use any mods by chance?
Hello! Thanks for being the liaison with the community :)
Do you have a rough idea when the game will stop being updated? I take a long time to get through a full playthrough, and would like to play modded, so I'm waiting. No rush, obviously, I appreciate the great support you guys are providing post-launch, and will wait as long as necessary; just curiosity.
Thanks, and godspeed!
There might be a few minor updates that take months to complete each (next date isn't even set yet), so you'll probably have enough time to finish. Unless there's something critical discovered in the nearest few days that requires a hotfix of course.
Xbox achievements have been broken for 6 months now 🤦♂️
Hello, any specific ones?
What are the chances of an enhanced edition or something for Kingmaker? you add most of the QoL stuff from WotR and bug fixes and maybe sell it for 5-10$ upgrade.
None right now. Kingmaker belongs to the publisher. We don't have any rights for the game.
translation to PT-BR is incredible good!
Brazilian community, and particularly, Levix is to be thanked for that! We merely included their work into the game.
Hi not sure if you guys are aware, and I understand Xbox series X isn’t a big priority for you with its small user base, but game performance in act 4 really suffers badly to the point it’s super distracting. There’s constant stuttering while navigating the city.
I'm afraid that we've already implemented most of the optimizations that are possible on console without dramatically decreasing the quality of models, textures and animations :( Act IV is notoriously very memory-heavy, and on consoles, the game operates very close to hardware limits, so I don't think this will improve much :/ I'm sorry. Not only any further noticeable effect is unlikely with realistic time investments, but also the people who can do it have mostly moved on to the other projects inside the studio by now.
Wowsers, will fully admit am woefully ignorant of the amount of work required to create a beta branch, hence the question. Totally agree with ya, bug hunting is a much better use of their time, and just want to say it is greatly appreciated, especially these days given it is they are likely difficult to find and nail down types.
As for the mod situation, progress bar on game load is getting stuck about 50% and sitting, so assuming there must be a conflict somewhere. All good though, if I need to wait so be it, just wanted to check situation.
Thanks for the swift reply, it is appreciated.
Try verifying the game files, the progress bar stuck problem is often caused by corrupted files.
Poor alchemists. Their bombs have been broken since 2.3.0.
I've seen your comment on Steam and highlighted it to the team, they'll take a look. There are still some bugfixing updates to be released.
Ps5 players who can't enjoy the music in the credits: 😭
Should come later in one of the following updates. May take a while though, there are some certain technical issues there.
Now that Skar's Wrath of the Righteous Epic Metal Song is available as a part of the game's soundtrack, it can also be found on our own youtube channel:
Is the option to roll back to previous patch not available anymore? the latest "beta" branch is 2.4.1i but I think the previous revision was 2.6.0n. Would be great to able to finish current playthrough if possible without needing to wait couple weeks for mods to update.
This patch is mostly minor changes, so most of the mods should be fine without updates.
Team that is still working on the game is very small by now, and setting up a separate version, checking it, uploading to the stores etc. is a significant time investment. If you want some remaining bugs to be hunted down, it's probably best not to use their remaining time on this.
Thank you for in my opinion best RPG at the moment and I wish you every success in the future
Классные отсылки с Властелином ничего! Хотелось спросить сначала появилось название и отсылки появились потом скорее случайно или это был более осознанный выбор связанный с мюзиклом?
The name in English was first, and then we had multiple options of how to translate it. This was one of the proposed ones, and was nearly instantly chosen by majority of the team, who are of course aware of the musical.
For now perhaps, but we can always hold out hope they return in the future. I think they during their big QnA a while back they gave a non-committal "We might be up for returning to Pathfinder in the future" sort of answer. I mean, they know the games are popular, they know a new one would sell, theres no business reason they wouldn't so it solely depends on the interests and passions of the team.
Pretty much this. Currently there's no spare team for that. Maybe at some point, but no plans/preparations at the moment.
I read the entire thing hoping for a teaser of the next rpg. Was a good read anyway but sad we haven’t heard anything from oc in a while about new rpgs
Patience, my friend! This year is going to be interesting.
