marelooke Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Just received a Gog newsletter: http://www.gog.com/newsletter/4_0-start-newsletter_20140827 Apparently they now also do DRM free movies. They are also removing a bunch of games from their catalog and I'm not quite sure why (gossip more than welcome ). Among the victims are Jack Keane, Gothic 2&3, Penumbra, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Spellforce (looks like all of them), Desperados,...
Humanoid Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I guess removing Jack Keane balances out removing all the other stuff. 3 L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
Elerond Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 It looks like that Nordic Games removes their catalog from GOG for some reason and Frictional Games removes their older stuff, leaving only Amnesia 2.
Zoraptor Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) The Nordic games will probably be back at some stage. Stated reason was that they couldn't agree on pricing but supposedly it is not directly due to GOG's pricing policy itself but due to incompatibilities with a contract they [Nordic, to clarify] have signed with a 3rd party meaning they literally could not reach agreement on prices even if both wanted to. But both parties seemingly at least do want those games back. Edited August 28, 2014 by Zoraptor
Elerond Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Everything went from $ to €. No me gusta. Currently prices are bit lower in euros than what they are in dollars. 4.49/5.99 = 0.74958 and 7.49/9.99 = 0,74975, where current exchange rate for euros with dollars is 0.7590.

And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.

Majek Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 It's still the same price, that's all that matters :D 1.13 killed off Ja2.

ktchong Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Gamers do not care about movies. Microsoft has learned the lesson from Xbox One. GOG will have to learn the lesson as well. GOG has been losing publishers and titles, and has not added any major publisher since... forever. I regret having spent so much money on GOG; should have bought most of my games from Steam instead.

TheChris92 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Gamers do not care about movies. Speak for yourself -- I'm a movie buff and in some ways care more about cinema than that of gaming -- I don't distinctively care about having cable TV or streaming services be the integral part of gaming though, mind you.

Mayama Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Speaking of old games, I would do many bad things for some proper wizardry remakes.

Humanoid Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Wikipedia does state it was devised on April Fools Day, 2011, so close enough. This is the 'official' English release I guess. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
licketysplit Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Don't like the new look. Hate the new look. GOG was like a ray of optimism, designed to steal my money. I can't give my money to this grey overlord.

Zoraptor Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Yeah, I got three copies of Jack Keane. What do you mean it isn't even in the catalogue any more? Actually I did get some completely random indie game I'd never heard of last time they did something similar. 1

(It's not really a season pass, you get the full game whenever it is released, AFAIK, but the wording is strange.)
Malcador Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 http://www.gog.com/forum/general/spoiler_alert_so_i_dug_into_the_countdown_thingy/page1 So LucasArts on GOG, maybe...(or perhaps they are screwing with people).
