Incidentally, are these links fine here or is there somewhere else they should go?

I was wondering about the non-Steam sales thread, though I suppose that's really for sites that don't have their own thread. Not to mention releases, hmm.

Well lets just hope there's never a GOG game that has steam key activation that's sold on GamersGate. The fucking universe would explode with that conundrum.

Hmmm. I never saw Omikron before. It looks interesting, though not my thing.

Now Catacombs... it's not a great game, but it is fun in its simplicity. I remember it from when it from when it first came out. Can't believe that was 22 years ago. I didn't remember it until seeing again here.

Voted no on everything. Even though I'm not entirely opposed to such things, but from GoG? No. The appeal of GoG is buying a game and having a DRM free complete installer.*
*The theoretical appeal of GoG anyway. I still haven't bought anything on there. :M

Kinda cool to see Catacomb show up on there. Can't remember which one I played but I do remember liking it quite a bit.

Warlords Battlecry 2 was such a good game, bought Battlecry 3, because it has more more MORE content and the same mechanics.

Simple fact though is the DLC is coming out either way. Your GOG copy can either be gimped or not exist at all, or they can sell DLC.

They could just wait to sell the games in a complete package form. Perhaps when they're older, say. Assuming they're good enough to sell in the first place.

POLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!

It's actually interesting, because GoG is trying to get into distribution of the high profile Kickstarted games (especially because he fans demand them to) and some of those, like SRR, are going to have DLCs (and the Berlin one should be free for all backers). This poll could put them in a funny position in a few months. Of course, they can just doctor the results and release a statement in which they tearfully thank their costumers for supporting their new DLC inclusion policy by an overwhelming majority of 103%.

What's that Omikron game like? Looks similar to Deus Ex.
It's a weird experiment of a game, where they like tried to throw every type of gameplay known to man into it. It's been a good while since I played it, but from what I remember: It was a pain in the butt to get working, and it controlled like ass (which was only really a problem during the FPS parts). But it was a strangely compelling SF world. For gameplay, it is most often an adventure game, and I don't remember ever being stumped by it. It also features music by David Bowie, and he has a cameo role and reportedly also had a hand in the storry.

Which is akin to not selling the games in the first place, at least for a good long while.

Personally I don't find DLC evil on spec, nor do I assume it is "cut content" like most do. I'm fine with them selling it for their newer games as long as it's DRM free. More DRM free games is good.

Ah, Stalin's old quote: The people who count the votes decide everything.
