This is what an actual saga looks like.

The Banner Saga, a unique Viking-themed role-playing game with solid tactical combat mechanics, beautiful 2D graphics that look nothing like any other modern title, and a captivating heart-touching story, is now available 10% off DRM-Free on GOG.com, for Windows and Mac OS X. That's only $22.49 for the first week.

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/the_banner_saga][/url]The Banner Saga invites you to live through an epic role-playing Viking saga where your strategic choices directly affect your personal journey. Make allies as you travel with your caravan across this stunning yet harsh landscape. Carefully choose those who will help fight a new threat that jeopardizes an entire civilization. Every decision you make in travel, conversation and combat has a meaningful effect on the outcome as your story unfolds. Not everyone will survive, but they will be remembered. The game offers you with a variety of over 25 playable characters from 2 different races, human and varl, the horned giants, and your choices in combat will have consequences for all whomever you choose to lead into battle. With the beautifully hand drawn combat sequences and animations, accompanied by an evocative score from Grammy-nominated composer Austin Wintory, the game will immerse you into a fantasy realm inspired by Norse mythology. Make sure to pick this one up, as there are very few modern games as original and engrossing as this one.

Embark on one of the most awe-inspiring journeys that modern gaming has to offer, and take a plunge into the beautiful snowy landscape of The Banner Saga, for only $22.49 on GOG.com. The 10% off release discount offer lasts until Tuesday, February 12, at 10:59AM GMT.

So there is an update up, which is for backers only so I won't repeat it here, but no mention of gog, whatsoever. Stoic then make this comment in response to a backer question about gog keys which I will quote:

"we apologize about the delay on GOG keys. It has been equally frustrating for us that they've been unable to activate our sales page. Currently we are available for sale on nearly every digital distribution site except GOG. We'll be updating the moment that changes."

"Currently we are available for sale on nearly evert digital distribution site except GOG". Amazing...
Anyone knows what that's supposed to be about? Because there are no problems with purchasing the game on GOG.
Not sure if you guys have read the latest update but:

"GOG

The game has been available for a while now on Steam, Gamefly, Gamestop, Humble store, a bunch of other outlets, and as a direct download from our website. We apologize for the difficulties getting the game distributed on some backers top preference. If you'd still like to get the game on GOG, please contact support@vsevil.net and they'll hook you up with a key.

And as always, if you run into technical problems with the game or backer stuff, get in touch at help@stoicstudio.com.
"

In short, email them to get your GOG key.

Thanks for the headsup. Better late than never devs :)
I got the mail yesterday but nor the artbook (bandwidth problem ?) nor the email for the GOG key (invalid recipient) work for me. I'll try again later I guess.

This is good news, although sadly, so very late.

You have to use support@vsevil.net instead.

Thanks for the tip, I emailed them. We'll see when I get a reply.
Got my key guys, you might wanna check your mail.
Got mine as well.
Same for me: it took a bit less than 48h.
I'm still waiting for mine. Might be because I had two copies.
