Maybe for potatos. But not sure.

4$ for nice game is good price.

Pity that there is no mods for it, not even cosmetic one. Additional adventures (other islands) would be nice.

Played it, though it was decent but actually was nice. Loot, treasure hunt, exploring etc.
And I liked endgaming with all that dungeon exploring.
It's better than rushed, chaotic sequel.

as of today, Risen is now DRM Free

wasnt it always?

It's manual has a Games For Windows mark on it but I am not sure if that also implied that it needed Games For Windows Live way back when as usually that's also marked somewhere...

Yeah, that doesn't mean anything. I have a bunch of GFWL-less PC games on my shelf with that branding. Including some that are actually Steamworks titles.

Oh, and my Witcher 1 box has it too.

Let's hope that Risen 3 will be released on GOG and will be more like Arkania and less like original Gothic.

Yeah, the disc version was just a disc-check and the Amazon digital version is DRM free. JudasIscariot getting a little too advertising plant there.

Mea culpa

Original release ( including steam ) had Tages drm with activation limit, but they've released a patch, that removed it few years after after release, don't remeber when exactly.
"Games for Windows" is just a branding that mean nothing in practice, only "Games for Windows live" mean famous drm from Microsoft.

One of the best games of the decline era for 4 bucks.

 

[DalekFlay]

Night Dive Studios is teasing a release from them today.

 

[DalekFlay]

Not sure what they were talking about since it's Friday. Anyway... Square Enix sale. Roughly 60% off everything. I own pretty much all of it already.

Harvester on Steam

Night Dive is now "the guy who puts obscure games from GOG on Steam after CD Projekt did all the labor of making sure they work". I wonder what he gets out of it.

I'll happily buy him pizza for a week in respect of his efforts. I don't need GoG to play Fallout/Age of Empires/Planescape etc. since modding and fan communities have kept them reasonably up to date. It's obscure stuff that's basically impossible to get running without a virtual machine that really matters to me.

What I'm saying is that as far as I can tell, these games arrived on GOG on their own. Their license holders are using Night Dive's services to get onto Steam so that they don't have to go through the Greenlight process or attempt to deal with Valve personally.

He's not actually "bringing games back from licensing hell" anymore like he did with System Shock 2 and I Have No Mouth; they brought themselves back to GOG. See for yourself, it's just those two: http://www.gog.com/games##devpub=night_dive_studios?as=1649904300

Even if you love Steam and want every game there because logging into GOG makes your hand twitch I don't see why the fuck Harvester would be anything worth teasing.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Refuse to acknowledge any Piranha Bytes game after Risen.

 

[adddeed]

Too bad, Risen 2 is pretty damn great and better than Risen.

Damn right.

One whole game!

 

[Darth Roxor]

So when will ArcaniA appear on gog?

 

[Coyote]

Wizardry 6-8 on sale, 60 percent off for one and 70 percent for both. (They bundle 6 and 7 together.)

 

[Abelian]

Dammit, GOG, you made me buy Wiz 6-8 and Thief 1&2 and I only finished a game from my backlog this year so far!

Why do you enjoy taunting me with deals I can't pass, just so I can build up a collection I'll never finish?!

 

[JudasIscariot]

The trilogy is now complete

Were there any complications in getting it to work? I thought it was a Mac thing.

For us? Nah, as it was all Presto's doing as far as making it work. Remember: we don't port anything

 

[Aeschylus]

It's actually already supported in ScummVM, so there shouldn't have been any big problems.
