Trilarion: Only 30%? I already own two of the four and I think I got them with at lest 40% discount.

Art_Vandelay: I'll wire you $1.20 in Gamer's Bailout Subsidy.
Very nice gesture. Gamers are helping each other. :)

However I think, this time I also am not interested in the games remaining.

Mamutte: Return To Krondor and Betrayal At Krondor are good games? Worth it?
There's Betrayal in Antara packed with Betrayal at Krondor.

Anyway, I can only speak for Betrayal at Krondor, and yes, it is a good OLD game.

Well then, it's time I finally get a windows-7 compatible copy of Arcanum. Thanks very much for that GoG.

DEAR GOG,

I REFUSE TO PURCHASE GAMES FROM YOU ANY LONGER, FOR YOU HAVE NOT OFFERED YOUR ENTIRE CATALOGUE FOR 99% OFF. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. I'M CONVERTING TO GREENMANGAMING.

"BAD"BYE!

Hm, had one, got two, leaving the Vampire thing behind. Now i'm broke. Happy?
I can only hope next week brings us TW2 only. ;)

SLP2000: To be honest, I don't understand you folks.

It is Activision, after all, and they could price their games like Ubisoft does. They do have games for $9.99 (mostly Sierra packs), but they have large amount of games priced $5.99.

And take Arcanum or VtM: Redemption into consideration - I was really surprised those games were released on GOG for just $5.99. I'd expect them to be priced $9.99, as they are not so old, and those are really big games.

So yeah, you'd probably get 50% off if they were priced $9.99. It would be $4.99 after discount. Now it's "only" 30% off, but you have to pay $4.19. You really should appreciate the fact.

Not to mention that Activision titles are available during weekend promos. You can't say that regarding every publisher.
^^^ This.

Honestly, the people that are complaining bitterly that 30% isn't a steep enough price cut seem a bit miserly. Yes, it would have seemed more of a sale with 50% the entire pack of games, but 50% off is only $1 more per game than 30%. Unless you live someplace like Sierra Leon, we're not talking a large amount of money, here.

So, really, that means you have a choice of buying the games right now, saving yourself some money, or waiting for the annual Christmas Sale when you can save a few dollars more. Complaining that 30% off "isn't worth it," however, just seems Scrooge-like, somehow.

It figures, normally I don't bother with the "buy all of the games for XXXX (usually about 50%), but this is one time when I would have bought the entire set, and what do they do? They don't offer the entire set at a bigger discount.
So now, I'll probably only get 1 of the games (Vampire), and not the rest. I already own a hard copy of Arcanum (awesome game btw), and even though I wouldn't mind getting the Krondor games, it isn't enough of a discount to reel me in.

Hmm... Thanks for the info man.

do you know if the krondor games still have these bad bugs on windows 7?
or are they playable now?
btw: relax guys, 30% is still a good deal,they cant give em away for free
Posted May 13, 2011
I have Arcanum, and I want the BaK pack, but for 30% off, I'll be passing it for now.

It's not really about the money, but about the size of my backlog and the relative lack of time to play. Whatever I buy now, I will probably take so long to play that there's a nice chance of it getting even cheaper before I do, and that's why I'm only buying games with higher discounts.
