Good Old Games is dead

So now we know it definitely isn't a stunt. They'll be bringing it back with BG on sale.

Cucking funts.

 

[spekkio]

But bundled with Steam client from now on...

 

[Darth Roxor]

Was King's Bounty: The Legend in their catalogue already? Because it can also be seen in those flashes.

 

[Elwro]

Yes, it was, bought it and downloaded and backed up last week, using the Codex banner

 

[MaskedMan]

thnks for advertising for this Splendid Site DU you asshole

 

[Burning Bridges]

This statement on Wednesday better be good, or I'm getting a fit.

I already did and near stroke. There are no words to descripe how mad I'm about this stupid stunt right about now.

 

[Darth Roxor]

You know, okay, this is a stupid trick and all, but some of the butthurt I'm reading here is off the charts.

 

[phanboy_iv]

Oh, this just keeps getting better:

It's in Polish, but, well, I'll let you read it

Guess who just bought CD Projekt?

 

[Darth Roxor]

Eh? The fact that Namco Bandai will be the publisher for The Witcher 2 was known for a while now.

 

[Elwro]

Yup, that's old news.

 

[phanboy_iv]

This is bigger than just a publishing deal.

Namco are essentially taking over all financing and risk of TW2, that's a much larger role than before.

 

[Elwro]

Atari also funded marketing for The Witcher 1 in foreign areas iirc.

But I don't remember them loaning any money to CDP. So yes, I stand corrected, this is a new (and risky, since if CDP do not finish the project, they will most likely disappear) arrangement.

edit: Actually, that's quite interesting. It's a "non-repayable loan"... but it will be deduced from the royalties later on.

And Namco won't pay for marketing in Europe.

I still think that this means Optimus is in deep financial trouble, and is either trying to spin off projects or get external backing for them. Basically, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that CDP is up for grabs.

 

[Elwro]

Optimus was just a way to get CDP on the stock market. Since we know CDP has problems, Optimus has problems.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Optimus still exist? I thought that they got fucked up by some retard from Inland Revenue office?

No, Optimus was slain by Megatron in the Great War.

watching stream... goofy fucking poles.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Dumb poles.

 

[Silellak]

Never has this picture been more appropriate.

 

[Ogg]

So they're selling BG. And that's nearly all what they had to say

On one hand I'm angry.

On the other I'm fucking glad.

 

[Piety]

Actually, that was kind of endearing.

And good news, overall.

 

[Brother None]

I sat in one the press stream too. It was one of the biggest amateuristic piece of b/s I've ever seen.
