    The developer, David Dunham, stated that they lost the source code and the game used some obscure and obsolete IDE, hence the reason he isn't able to add content to the PC version.

    It can't be *that* much work to port the iOS version to PC. :rpgcodex:

    Fuck it, KoDP is still worth it, especially with the ridiculous low price GOG is selling it at right now.

    Funny story: I bought Fallout 1 & 2 last year during the Christmas sale but found that I still had the CD version so I asked GOG to change my order for two other games. Now I grabbed them for free in case I ever lose/break my CD's.

    Looks like they've re-enabled gifting for the free Fallout promo. Just remember that they might not be redeemable after the rights go back to Bethesda at the end of the year, so be sure to let the recipients know they need to use them promptly.

    (Incidentally, the "duck and cover" picture of the Fallout boy they used for the promo seems strangely appropriate for the circumstances, in that he's bent over on his knees as though preparing for an imminent ass-reaming.)

    And yeah, KoDP is definitely worth it.

    I don't quite understand this sale. It seems like everything is on sale. Will it be like this until Christmas or does that change all the time?

    In other words, do I have to buy the games I want now, or can I wait until Christmas and hope that they go on some daily super-sale until then?

    I know I sound like a cheapskate (I am), but then I already own those games.

    There are daily sales. Wait until the final day before buying.

    Steam does the same thing. As said above, check the dailies until the last day and then buy whatever else you might want.

    Thanks to both of you, will do so. (Not on Steam, which I don't use, though)

    JudasIscariot I've just heared the news about the Rise of Nations IP being sold and I was thinking, is there a chance for GOG to acquire the game? I would throw my money at you if I could purchase it on GOG.

    I don't know, way over my head. Speaking for myself, I wouldn't mind us having that IP but what would we, as a company, do with it? We're just a distributor :)

    Every time the D&D games go on sale and it says "you own every game in this promo!" it's like GOG is laughing at me for paying full price.

    Sorry, I meant that adding the game to GOG (distrubuting it like the others). Not getting the IP. I know you couldn't do anything with it. :D

    I missed the damn D&D sale on gog twice this year, glad i finally got it this time. Some games i do already own in CD form but what the heck, another copy won't hurt.

    I wish they weren't sold as a bundle: I wanted to get PS:T, TOEE, and NWN2, but they would cost $18. Instead, if I also get Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard and Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone, the total cost is $11.15 (I already own the other games in the bundle in my GOG.com account).

    Alright, I went ahead and got all of them.

    Just out of curiosity, does the Codex get any additional revenue if I make my purchase by clicking the GOG.com link up top, rather that using a bookmark for example? Or the the ad pay the same amount per click, regardless if the user makes a purchase or not?

    Yes, we do. People in this thread are encouraged to add the Codex's referral code to any GOG URLs they post.

    I'm pretty sure Dragonshard and Demon Stone are both complete garbage, but yeah I got them at one of the sales as well "to try out".
