They're asking 10€ for Phantasmagoria

"It was VERY expensive copying all those CDs, you know!"

Is Arcanum DRM-free on Steam too? I mean, could it be launched without using Steam, like Underrail for example?

I would say probably yes, but somebody will have to check to be sure. You can buy the game, try it and then refund it if you're really curious.

Or you can buy it on gog with codex' referal code...

Apparently the King's Quest Collection, which was taken down for a while and has now come back, has been updated. Does it now contain the AGI version of the first game? Has the Space Quest Collection been updated as well?

EDIT: Apparently it has: http://steamcommunity.com/app/10110/discussions/0/359547436761308949/

Seems like they made these identical to the GOG versions.

 

[Latelistener]

Yep, DRM-free. Version 1.0.7.4, judging by the .exe file.

But if Activision can bring these titles on Steam, why, for example, Hasbro hasn't done the same with the NWN series and the other D&D games they have on GOG?

It's all pretty arbitrary AFAIK. Why is the Might & Magic series on GOG but not on Steam? For some games it's possible that GOG have an exclusivity deal, but I doubt that would last forever.

It's just $1 for the bundle...

 

[Latelistener]

Humble Bundle was good once, until they started putting fixed prices to increase "average" prices.

 

[Zewp]

Is that why the average is so high here? I've rarely seen the average this high.

Doubt I'll buy it at that price just to own it on Steam. I already have most of those on GoG.

 

[pippin]

Yes. The biggest one this time is $20, for the new Kings Quest which includes all chapters. Generally it's just $15 for everything, but this is Activision.

 

[tormund]

I gave up on them since they started asking for SMS confirmation for each fucking purchase (with their SMSs never actually arriving). I found out that some other people from my particular corner of the world encountered the same crap (with messages never even arriving no matter what), so I guess that my money is deemed unworthy.

People usually pay $15-20 to get everything, thus increasing the average price. Pay what you want they say.

Huh?

 

[pippin]

That has never happened to me. I only use paypal though.

Are you sure it's not your bank who's sending you those SMS?

Does the average not shift when you pay under the BTA price? You'd think there would be tons of people buying $1 bundles to go resell on G2A.

 

[tormund]

Google Humble Bundle SMS verification.

It is something that is apparently likely to happen to people from certain countries that are deemed "unsafe" (mine being one of them), and I was among those that had the bad luck of that additional security being pushed on them.
And yeah, I was always going trough paypal too.

It does, but strangely enough, the introduction of the $1 tier did not affect prices much. However, when there is a higher tier, the average usually goes up above 10$,

 

[pippin]

$1 is only mandatory when you only offer keys. DRM free games have the pay what you want thing.
