HypersomniacLive: Yes, so supportive actually that they doubled the prices on almost all of the catalogue in early 2013, and ever since run promos and sales for 50% off.
Not really. From the 31 games that Interplay currently sells, only 9 of them have had their price increased:

Descent 1+2
Descent 3: Mercenary
Earthworm Jim 1+2: The Whole Can 'o Worms
F/A-18E Super Hornet
Freespace 2
Giants: Citizen Kabuto
Kingpin: Life of Crime
Messiah
Sacrifice

You could also add the Fallout Trilogy, but then they did give it away for free before it was removed from sale.

moonshineshadow: [...]

What other languages are you downloading? Just curious since I normally just decide which one I want and only download that one.
I usually download the original language of the game, if I speak it or if it comes with text in a language I speak.

So, I remember the numbers incorrectly, cheers. Still, a dick move even for those 12 titles. And the fact that the Fallout games were given for free is irrelevant, as they were sold at the doubled price for a year before they were pulled.

Thank you for the info. =) Saved that list for future reference.

CarrionCrow: Well....screw it. With the info I didn't know, that's leaving a worse taste in my mouth at the moment than an independent developer going for the largest market first. Not thrilled with it, but I do understand basic business and that the people involved with Lords of Xulima need to eat.
Whoever at Interplay pulled the trigger on a bullshit price spike after years of lower cost item availability was just being a dick, unless they've fallen so far that they have to do such things in order to stay quasi-afloat. And even then it's still a dick move.

HypersomniacLive: Interplay's been run by dicks for a good number of years now.

I'm a bit surprised that fellow GOGgers from before the price hike didn't get wind of it when it happened. Almost everything that goes for $9.99 now costed $5.99, the departed Fallout titles included.
I've been signed up for GOG a few years now, but until the last year or so I hadn't really had a chance to follow things as much as I might've liked. That's why I missed the price increases when they originally occurred.

I'm of two minds about this.

On one hand, the speesh marins and metal bawkses lines are legendary, but the campaign itself is atrocious.

On the other hand, I've survived up to 6th edition, Matt Ward's spiritual liegue fanwankery, and some of the most retarded fluff ever written all the way from 3rd ed, with my fanboyism intact. And it was on my wishlist after all.

So +1 any and all of carrion crow's posts out there, out of simple spite, and let him know that I will actually enjoy his "gift", that ought to confuse him.

My faith is my shield, the emperor protects, I will lead my troops to victory against Matt Ward's ultrasmurfs and CS Goto's multilasers.

And Crow has done it again once more, this time, with the game equivalent of a crazy japanese guy, dressed in S&M leathers who jumps on your back, rips off your pants and sodomizes you forcefully. But which after a while when you stop struggling against the pain of your anus being ripped apart, and fall in line with his rhythm, you start realizing to your infinite surprise that you actually enjoy it inmensely.

What? that's what Dark Souls is like.

I was going to say that he seems to be particularly (in)famous in 1d4chan, but it seems that you beat me to the punch.

Now laughing hysterically....not only at the description, but at what's still to come for you. =)

I actually liked Ultramarines back in third edition, they were the chapter that had no specialized units, or didn't shine too brightly in any particular skill, but which you could deploy for any given situation, and they would perform acceptably well without a ridiculously high point cost for miniature.

Nowadays they got so much fanwankery thrown over them in the codex that they become unlikeable marty-stus.

I was all set to buy something today, but nothing in the sale really strikes my fancy. GoG is giving us a break after the holiday madness ;)

And CC tops it all by covering a delicious, gorgeous ice cream sundae of 99 flavours with a steaming pile of stinky rhino shit.

He's outdone himself this time, This is irony of the highest order Greater even than the robot devil losing his hands.

He's thrown at me the Shannon Tweed game.

I'm currenly holding my security blanket while rocking back and forth, sucking on my thumb on a corner.

I will play it, I will record it, and I will upload my suffering to youtube.

Giggles will be had, and it will only cost me my sanity.

You took getting Soulstorm exceedingly well....
Hell, you took getting that far better than I did.
So I just HAD to add that last item. =)

Oh my frigging god, that is the perfect addition comment.
If I'd had coffee in my mouth while reading that, I'd now be cleaning it off my monitor. ;)

The Shannon Tweed game is an absolutely horrific thing that I noticed while checking the competition's sale.
Shannon Tweed is a model who ended up doing Playboy as a career high point and ended up doing softcore porn before marrying a guy in the band Kiss.
She has absolutely no place, meaning or purpose in a game of any kind, ever.
So of course someone made a Plants versus Zombies ripoff with her in it. A horrible, gods-frigging-awful, broken pathetic piece of crap clone of it.
