I think it is new. They also seem to have updated the installer to the newest patch. I re-downloaded all the files today and it looks like this in my download folder.

Hmm, is it safe to trust a... Bastard Lunatic? :-P

Just kidding! Dig the tag, actually/ ;-)


Cheers to both, will do my duty and download! :-)

Although I am a Bastard Lunatic, I don't usually trick people :P (that would be a Mage Illusioner).

The tag is hardly original. Ask any decent search engine and you'll get to the bottom of it.

Let's just say I once had an intimidating level 73 Double Wookiee Bastard Lunatic back in the good ol' days... whose memory I want to honor.

Not as intimidating as my Dung Elf Puma Burglar!

Im curious. Whats the reduction sizes that MaGog keeps picking up?. Have things been removed or files *optimized* by devs?
Well we got the latest D:OS update so next dragonsphere should be around the corner i imagine :D

It's referring the size field on the game card, which in turn is supposed to match the download size.

AFAIK, this field is (or at least can be) set manually, and I think that usually, it's the GOG staff making the values (more) exact.

Occasionally, though, the developer might have changed something minor in an update, which in turn makes the game more compressible. It depends on the game, I would imagine.

More than likely, a patch. This has been the case for Vertical Drop Heroes and Volgarr the Viking. Some days ago, Risk of Rain received an update that reduced its size from 105 MB to 70, thanks to an engine change.

Hmm? A bunch of games dropping Linux versions? What is going on here? And system requirements still list Linux there.

Not only Linux, also Mac. And note that for Gods and Unrest it only affects one edition, not both. All in all, I assume some bug on the game pages, nothing more.

If this keeps up, the game's won't be playable on any known OS till the end of the year.

Joke all you want. This is how it began.
2014: GOG collapses.
2015: Steam collapses.
2016: Google collapses.
2017: Skynet.
