Heading for the finish line – 80% off.

Haven't gotten behind the wheel of this legendary racer just yet? Be speedy – because Race Driver: GRID will be leaving our catalog on December 31, 2016.

Considered one of the most timeless, refined moderns racers – we're sad to see it go, but you can still grab the game now at 80% off, all the way up until December 31, 10:59 PM UTC.

Vrrrrooom, vrrrrooom.







A brief trip down memory lane, this is how GRID was first introduced to GOG.com:
Rrrrrrrnnnn! EEEEEEERRrrrrnNNNNNN!

Vrrrrooom! If you like fast cars, tight turns, and pulse-pounding races, then today's release is sure to please: Race Driver: GRID--known in the US simply as GRiD--screeches over the finish line!

In GRID, you're a driver with dreams of going big: you start out driving in others' cars for money, but soon enough you'll start your own team, picking the races you want to compete in, buying the cars and equipment that you need to get the advantage over the other drivers, and traveling the world to compete. With 43 cars and 3 different regions to compete in--the US, Europe, and Japan--there's plenty to captivate adrenaline junkies. But that's not all: GRID also features an innovative "flashback" system, whereby you can rewind time a few crucial seconds to fix any sloppy driving or mistakes, avoid crashes, and generally gain the needed edge to win. With open wheel racing, demolition derbies, GT racing, there's plenty of variety in gameplay.

Real road courses such as Le Mans are in the game, as well as street circuits such as such as the Detroit and Washington D.C.. There are also a number of fictional tracks, such as street courses in San Francisco,and Milan, and Mount Haruna.

Is that enough to get your pulse pounding? Check out Race Driver: GRID

Grargar: Hoo boy. This was removed from GOG mere months after its release, thanks to a dispute between the publisher and the game's fan community.
Oh, didn't know that. So sad.
Another Codemaster game is going out?
They have yet to bring back Severance...
Wait. so why is this being removed?
How long will a gift code for GRID remain valid?|

If other removed games are any indication, then it should remain valid forever.

Thanks for your answer grargar and amrit.

joppo: Well... great as GOG Connect is, it has been a controversial topic. One of the reasons is that some users keep demanding their games to be added. They do not see GOG as doing them a favor but rather an obligation.

bernstein82: Actually, while it's true that it's being actively pushed GoG AFAIK it's the developers that are the limiting factor (and the fact that noone wants to upset gabe), if it were up to GoG alone you'd basically be able to "import" your steam library.
So, unless you can rally developer swaying numbers, i think its a waste of time petitioning gog for a game to appear on connect.
Heck i'd even be willing to pay a $1 "un-drm" fee per game, but so far my shouts have been unheard...
I agree with most of what you said but I was focusing on the GOG forum members only, with the additional consideration that we know very little about what happens behind the scenes — e.g. the negotiations with the publishers or how they're affected when a game shows up on Connect.
In that admittedly narrow focus, every time GOG brings a game to Connect we have one bunch of users that keep whining that not all the games in their steam library were in the list and a big crowd that gets annoyed by said whiners.

I just disagree with your statement that GOG would import the whole list in a single turn. From a marketing perspective they benefit more from having a constant stream of GOG Connect news than a moment of enormous attention to them and then silence forever.

Edit: OT, thanks for the heads up GOG. If it was a genre I like I'd be pretty relieved to receive this notice, or very pissed if I hadn't.

@Gog: Thanks for the headsup, but those "Grab it while you can" - messages come pretty late, not everyone checks in on his client or the website on a daily basis.

Second: It would be nice to know why the specific game is removed each time it happens, or else it looks like arbitrariness.

melmovano:
what if even GOG receives those mails late from publishers and had to remove game without notice?

Second: "License issue" is the answer for all game removal questions!!!

tinyE: Great game, I own it and I encourage all of you who don't to pick it up. This is real racing, none of that NFS Arcade bullshit.

I DO HOWEVER HAVE ONE ISSUE HERE.

WTF IS THIS!? "Rrrrrrrnnnn! EEEEEEERRrrrrnNNNNNN!"

I don't know what sound effect they were trying to accomplish here but my best bet is an armadillo farting.
Own it on steam but never played it yet.

"Rrrrrrrnnnn! EEEEEEERRrrrrnNNNNNN!"

That's how I sound when i am in the bathroom suffering from diarrhea.

I can think of only these two possible solutions:

1) Contact support and explain your case.
2) Create a new account and use paysafe vouchers/cards, if they are available there.

I actually did contact them a couple of minutes ago,and got a automated response that the GOG customer support answers will be delayed until 2 January,which is bad in my case ;).Guess fingers crossed for a blue to come,and fix this small issue.Cheers
