Shortly after announcing that horror game, Devotion, would come to GOG, the digital distribution storefront has announced that the plans to sell it have been cancelled. GOG cited "many messages from gamers" as its reason to not bring Devotion to its store.

This isn't the first time that Devotion has been wrapped up in controversy regarding its release. Back when the game originally came out last year, it was taken down from Steam shortly after it became available because it featured a picture of Winnie the Pooh with the word 'moron' under it.
Earlier today, it was announced that the game Devotion is coming to GOG. After receiving many messages from gamers, we have decided not to list the game in our store.

In response to GOG cancelling its plans to bring Devotion on to its storefront, Glass Bottom Games founder Megan Fox has announced that it will also be pulling its upcoming game SkateBIRD from GOG in solidarity.
Earlier today, it was assumed that the game SkateBIRD was coming to @GOGcom. After receiving one message from them that undercut a fellow indie dev, we have decided not to list our game in their store.
