Really?I always thought that the main issue was Source and Valve having some clause that its games can be only on Steam or something similar

When the Bloodlines licensing agreement was signed, Steam was a beta of a copy protection scheme somewhere inside Valve, and nothing more. So I doubt that such a clause exists.

Activision really doesn't seem to like to promote or discount this game on Steam. I wonder if they are still holding some kind of grudge after the clusterfuck that was Bloodline's production, and the fact that it was an instant classic yet had crappy sales. It's like Bethesda never discounting Arx Fatalis.

Not sure if you were referring to Redemption or Bloodlines on the topic of steam discounts, but I'm pretty sure Bloodlines goes on sale every Halloween on Steam.. Or at least, it did for several years.

You know that Arx Fatalis source code was released along with a free copy of the game included with Dishonored right?
It's not steams choice if that game goes on sale - it's Bethesda's.. and the game is basically free now that it's gone open source.

Interesting, is there any fan community trying to do something with it?

Uh just this: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/arx-libertatis-arx-fatalis-new-engine.71405/

It seems to be inactive though.

Not at all. it's just that the latest official release is rather old at this point. Arx Libertatis is still very much under active development, and dev builds are available to anyone.

Bloodlines goes on sale everytime there is a big sale on Steam. I purchased it on sale for 4.99 kwan bucks. You can ask Legion about it.

Besides p.minor stuff like additional crafting (which add lot more items and break already bad balance) there is
man, who want to repeat the success of The Dark Mod, I mean - total conversion on different engine (which is ugly).

I have a spare System Shock 2 key from the GoG sale earlier that I wanted to save for Thanksgiving to give away. If interested, please PM me with a reason you'd be thankful for the game. The PMs will apply for only Thanksgiving day, so make your message count.

 

[JudasIscariot]

[Did you get your system files deleted too?

I actually never uninstalled that game back in the day even after patching it just to be sure >.>

 

[Jaesun]

Me too I just left it installed, until I needed to do a full system reformat.

 

[Azalin]

I on the other hand never installed in the first place it just to be even more secure

Impossible Creatures released and -40% off http://af.gog.com/game/impossible_creatures?as=1649904300

 

[HotSnack]

Cool concept, ok RTS. Still the creature creator is worth it alone.

 

[DaveO]

I checked my PM box, but nobody messaged me in regards to me giving away System Shock 2.

So that the key IS used, I've now added the redeem page below. First come, first served:

The Moment of Silence released and 75% off.

 

[Elwro]

I remember this. Bought full price on release. Played to completion, liked it. I was wondering why I never saw a new game by the same devs...

http://af.gog.com/forum/general/gam...e_in_the_future_part_2/post2366?as=1649904300

I'm willing to take a bet on take 2 (a daring one, but the hell :ehue: )

If you're planning on going for the mystery games, here's a thread where they keep track of which ones you might get: http://af.gog.com/forum/general/big_winter_sale_mystery_games?as=1649904300

 

[Infinitron]

Hey JudasIscariot, how does this sale work? Is it only the Bundle Deals at the top that change every 48 hours, or also everything else?

 

[Lucky]

The first deals and bundles will stay up for 48 hours, the second for 24.

We're kicking off the sale with 48 hours of big bundles that you just couldn't stop bugging us for.

Following the 48-hour launch offer, all bundles and deals will change every 24 hours. With a few surprises in store, check back daily to see what's new in the GOG.com Big Winter Sale!

 

[MicoSelva]

LoL @ mystery games. Who in their right mind would pay $3 for a random shovelware when you can buy a lot of stuff with proven quality for less.

EDIT: I will probably be grabbing LucasArts classics bundle at least.

 

[HotSnack]

Yeah, I thought mystery game was a randomly generated sale item that you click to reveal and then "maybe" buy. Actually buying an unknown game for $3 seems pretty dumb. I wonder how much are they banking on people not just requesting a refund on unwanted picks?

Still some nice things on sale: I'll probably pick up zal mckracken and the indiana jones games. Maybe Shadowrun HK and POE, though I dunno. I keep hearing that HK is a step down from dragonfall, which I'm currently playing and haven't been that enthused with. Doesn't help that I'm playing it after having played WL2: DC and AoD. PoE always sounded kind of lol to me with its RTWP combat with cooldowns.
