Is it still in a mostly-finished state or is definitely finished? Umm, worth a buy?

Your mileage may vary depending on whether you enjoyed the DK series or not. If you liked the Dungeons series of games more, you probably won't think WftO is all that great. I last played it over a year ago and it was solid, stable and fun to play then. I played through the campaign and did some skirmishes, which were fine but supposedly have more options now. Compared to most RTS fare, it gives you many more options to beat missions and that alone gives it some replay value. Now that it's on GOG (and free for me with GOG Connect), I'll certainly play it again.

I had a quick look at Bogus Detour.
This is from the same devs as made Hammerwatch, which is quite an enjoyable Gauntlet clone. Due to Serious Sam being more about guns, Bogus Detour ends up being a twin-stick shooter with light RPG elements and some of the Serious Sam charm and humor.
I at least recommend giving it a look.

Homeworld Cataclysm was re released as Homeworld Emergence because Blizzard owns the Cataclysm name.
Oh well, I will get this one. I think I still have the cd somewhere though, but I loved this game.

Steam summer sales starts today. They might be matching prices with Steam discount.

Cool, this isn't available on Steam.

It still doesn't help that it probably performed way below anybody's expectations.

No surprises there. After all, this is the chick they hired to be the new community manager.
I may have gotten off on the wrong foot with her.

Hired because of politics, rather than qualifications. You get what you paid for.

Enjoyable game. I will consider other SSI General games in the future.

If you use the gog forums you'll end up interacting with tinye most of the times, and that guy makes me feel like shooting myself. In a way they are worse than the steam forums.
I remember once I started a thread, and I anticipated how my question could be answered in a "funny" way, so I made a disclaimer. Still, within minutes the TinyYapper was there making the obvious quip.
That was the last time I started a thread in the General Discussions forum.
And now that the GOG web page have been "improved" by being slow as syrup and the forums being actively monitored there's not much point in posting. Not that the main forum was that interesting to start with, but at least it was one of the few uncensored forums I knew of.

The game-specific forums at least have useful information.

You mean incessant complaining when something doesn't work, and attempts to solve that problem (which far too often involve the userbase coming up with the solution and then GOG just following their footsteps). But that aside, there's no real discussion going on. Discussions about, say, whether one particular version of a game should be featured or another. Whether a particular set of mods should be included, whether a game is actually any good.
Those kind of topics are very few and far between.

I appreciate your point, but that varies depending on the game. It's not like the Steam forums don't have a lot of the "my game is bugged halp!!1one" type discussion.
AoW forum has a bunch of PBEM threads, for example: https://af.gog.com/forum/age_of_wonders_series#1498565743?as=1649904300
There are threads on mods for quite a few games (I found out about Heroes 5.5 on GOG, along with the unofficial 1.50 patch for MOO2).
