Grargar: Well, here is the thing; Square-Enix wants control over how they sell their games. Steam gives them that control, while GOG doesn't. For starters, Square-Enix (and actually other Japanese companies) don't allow their games on Steam to be sold in Japan, so neither Final Fantasy III, VII or VIII are available there and since GOG hasn't implemented regional restrictions, I doubt Square-Enix would be happy with GOG being able to sell them. Then, there is the small matter of DRM, which Square recently announced as being responsible for a boost in their profits and that it was here to stay.

I imagine a very similar scenario with Koei, both wanting DRM in their games and regional restrictions.
!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check on Google......

!@#$%^&*()

There are some strong words clamoring on my lips unsuitable for the public.

Guess have to vote with my wallet to prove otherwise. Time to check for more kickstarter. SQ can rot and go bankrupt.

Speaking of great deals.......would like GOG to know that I didn't buy Witcher 2 on Steam when it was 3 or 4 bucks, staying loyal to GOG with games they themselves made.


now when can we see that deal? Hopefully before Witcher 3 lol

Seems like you missed the Battle of the Games promo back on April, where Witcher 2 was available for 4 bucks. And if you had bought it on Steam, you could have used a code they would send you to allow you to redeem it here on GOG as well.
At any rate, you should expect something on Summer Sale; a lot of time remaining till the Witcher 3 releases.

I bought Witcher 1 & 2 from Steam for less than £5 for both aroud the same time as I discovered GOG. During the Insomnia sale, the lovely dr.schliemann pointed me in the direction of the GOG DRM free backup, so I now have both games sitting on my GOG shelf. I want to pre-order Witcher 3 but I'll wait until after 5 June to see if there will be a promotion here on GOG.
