Comment (by eriktorbjorn):

 > Although slightly OT, I'm curious: what does GOG respond whenever asked
 to update the version of ScummVM?

 I only mentioned in passing in my latest GOG bug report that ScummVM 2.5.0
 works around the Maniac Mansion problem, and let them draw their own
 conclusions. Their initial response was that I was using an unsupported
 Linux distribution, but that my feedback had been passed on to "the
 appropriate team".

 When I pointed out that the problem didn't depend on operating system (I
 had even included DOSBox savegames), they responded that "only the
 developers/publishers of the game might be able to address this" and that
 "the game has been provided to us by the developers as it is", again
 reiterating that the information had been forwarded. When I asked how to
 contact the developers, I was told that "the only direct contact with the
 developers would be through the publishers themselves".

 Anyway, back to this bug report, I have no strong feelings for or against.
 I just wanted to raise the issue to see if anyone else did. If I had known
 enough about the SCI engine, I would have made a pull request to ask for
 feedback instead. At least this is one of the rare cases where something
 ''could'' be done, whether or not it should be.
