Complete your Electronic Arts collection with a 85% discount or get 60% off each EA game!



Hey, know what time it is? That's right, it's time to complete those marvelous EA collections! Are you on the hunt for some elusive Electronic Arts classics missing from your GOG.com shelf, perchance? Well go ahead and grab the ones that got away or the whole <span class="bold">EA Completionist Pack</span> with a whopping 85% discount! But if you are still among the uninitiated, you can always take advantage of the enticing 60% discount on each game, to get your bEAutiful collection going.

Do you crave an epic, colourful story, crafted by beloved RPG gem-cutters BioWare? Welcome to the mystical, delightfully deadly Jade Empire, a place full of interesting quests, unique NPCs, and breathtaking environments where everybody is kung-fu fighting! And carefully arranging their skill trees like delicate bonsai.

Slashing down monsters for XP, gold, or sport is always a blast. But try to keep these unruly buggers in line as a visionary Dungeon Keeper and things are bound to get messy. Especially for the unsuspecting surface heroes who are about to have their lands taken from under their feet. Literally.



There are 42 great games waiting to be discovered in <span class="bold">The EA Completionist Pack</span> and you'll want to catch' em all! Complete your collection either by picking out the stragglers or in one fell swoop with that sweet 85% discount. But you can always take it slow and get 60% off the ones that caught your eye first. And there is no shortage of eye-catchers, with games like Populous™: The Beginning, Nox, Theme Hospital, Ultima 7™, and a lot other classics being part of the deal! The promo will last until February 09, 4:59 AM GMT.

Grargar: Yup. We can also look forward to a 4-year Activision-less anniversary in October.
Ah, so many things to celebrate this year! Not sure I can handle that many festivities.

Vythonaut: He needs to be convinced? OK, show him this: Τσακίσου κι έλα να πεις ένα γειά να σε γνωρίσουμε ρε! :D

Approximate (:P) translation: "Would you kindly come over here and say hello?". [...]
Cheater! ;-P

"You own all of the titles in this promo"

I think this is a first

I mean... c'mon: Freakin' Mirror's Edge came out almost a decade ago! The thing ought to count as a "classic" release by now. Would make for a great DRM-free premiere too.

Don't worry, they'll probably have the same sale next year and still have no new titles.

HypersomniacLive: Cheater! ;-P
Indeed I am and very proud of it too! :P

Bought the only two I didn't have. Jade Empire and SimCity 4.

Time to bring in more EA games. ShadowCaster, Dead Space, C&C, Mirror's Edge etc
Posted February 05, 2016
Good selection, but I don't think I'll complete my series.

Matruchus: All ready have all the games I wan't from EA on gog. Still waiting for C&C collection, Dead Space series + Armies of Exigo.

Obviously Dune 2, Dune 2000 and Emperor: Battle for Dune too :)
I still have my shiny disc copy of Emperor Battle for Dune. Does it work for you under Windows 7 x64 ?

Nothing for me, unless I want to buy yet another gifting copy of Undying. EA sales are like the cutout bin at the music store - once you've been through it a couple times, you never need to bother with it again, because there will never be anything new added to it.

What would be the right word to describe something that's beyond stale?

I'd go with moribund in this case.

I think the far more helpful (for GOG) path would be for everyone to vote for any individual games they really want and would buy here. I don't imagine a general wish for "more games" (and from three different publishers, no less!) is much help to GOG in their negotiations with those companies. After all, 1.) it's not as if GOG is sitting down with all three of those publishers at once, in the same room (and if they did, how would anyone know how many of those votes were concerned mostly with just one or two of the three publishers?), and 2.) I don't imagine GOG very often negotiates for "more" games or "all" games from a publisher; rather, they negotiate to be allowed to sell certain specific games. This is where it's helpful to have a nice wishlist entry of thousands of votes for such a game, telling the rights-holder(s) of the game that a large percentage of these people would be willing to hand over cash for the thing. : )

It's not exactly like GOG's biz dev team is flying blind here. What have people, historically, liked from EA? C&C? Sure. Mirror's Edge? Yeah, there's a dedicated fanbase. Dead Space? Well, people liked the first 2.

I don't think that people not telling GOG specifically what they want is going to prevent GOG from being able to make a case to bring game X to the platform. That's kind of... y'know... their job. And it's not like the wishlist has been a particularly useful tool for demanding games on GOG, either, outside of a couple exceptions.

I have them all already, but this is an impressive sale. 42 games for under $42. Dayum!
