GOG is "stealing" from Steam for a change!

 

[Cyberarmy]

Ah! Great news indeed, time to bathe in the blood of my enemies!

 

[LundB]

Sure it's cheaper on GOG at the moment, but I got the Steam version for 75 cents. Next time GOG should undercut with a game that hasn't been available that cheaply.

Like Lundy said, already got for $0.75 from Groupees! GOG prices suck!

Re: Rune - Does the steam version have the soundtracks and role-playing game?

There is Music folder in game directory with OGG files.
No role-playing game though....

Rune was all about the badass multiplayer, modding it, chopping bros heads off, shit was real, yo.

JudasIscariot I have a question. GOG is currently selling Arx Fatalis. The game's page says that the publisher is "Arkane Studios". But Arkane is wholly owned by Bethesda since 2010, and you guys don't have any contract with them as far as I know.

It's the same on Steam, by the way - the publisher is Arkane Studios, not Bethesda Softworks. So how does that work? Did the founders of Arkane cut some deal with their new owners that Arx Fatalis revenue goes directly to their pockets?

I really have no idea as that kind of stuff is way beyond me. Sorry

You can buy a studio without necessarily buying previous IPs.

Sure, but I've never heard of a situation where a developer continued to profit directly from its own IPs after being bought up a publisher. There's even an Arx Fatalis board on the BethSoft forums: http://forums.bethsoft.com/forum/149-arx-fatalis-general-discussion/

But maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

Arkane could be a wholly owned subsidiary where they can still be the name of the publisher whole Bethesda gets the profits. Movie studios do this a lot

Just wanted to give our Russian bros a heads up about the GOG version of Pathologic. It's now available in Russian

 

[JudasIscariot]

Democracy 3 now available on Mac

We'll know Bethesda's feelings toward GOG very shortly, when the Fallout games revert to Bethesda having distribution rights in two months.

Halloween special - Alone in the Dark, Amnesia, Penumbra, Gabriel Knight, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Sanitarium, Pathologic, and more are all 30-75% off (30% for the latest Amnesia, 50% for IHNMaIMS, and 60-75% for the others listed).

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

Pathologic looks interesting, judging from the opinions on codex. The rest I already finished.

Thanks for this! I've been waiting for a Sanitarium sale for awhile. I figured Halloween would be the time for it!

Hey guys,

It is my pleasure to announce that we are releasing Avadon 2: The Corruption today

Yes, it's official

 

[Baron Dupek]

I can only see Deadly Premotion release
http://af.gog.com/game/deadly_premonition_directors_cut?as=1649904300

Maybe game is cool (and I'm looking for it) but port is hilarious, in Dark Souls way....

Good side of GOG is optional updates so no suprises like Dark Souls - come back few months later after purchase, only to see update that screw Dfix and mouse control.

Because we haven't released the game yet

It's still in "ITZ COMING!" status

What. This is relevant to my newsposting. According to the Spiderweb Software site it's supposed to be on Steam too, so I guess it'll be out there later today.
