Here at GOG.com, we're all about our users and the partners who decided to join the crazy ride into the DRM-free PC gaming. We stick with them through sickness and health, the good and the bad times. As you may have heard, JoWooD is having some tough times lately. Together with the publisher we've decided to give you a chance to get your hands on all the JoWooD titles you're eagerly wanting to buy, but maybe haven't yet. Well, now's your chance to grab those gems at a heckuva bargain!

In this special week-long promo we encourage everyone to get JoWood games with an up to 75% discount! The catalogue includes such gems from PC gaming's past like , [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/gothic_2_gold_edition]Gothic 2, , [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/the_guild_gold_edition]The Guild and more. If you buy all games from JoWood's catalogue, or complete the collection, you'll receive a 75% discount! If you're interested only in some games from the offer, you can still get them for bargain with 60% off! The promo ends on Tuesday, May 3 at 11:59 p.m. EDT.

Since you guys are all going to be asking: we don't know what the future holds for JoWooD. To be safe, though, we recommend that you download any JoWooD titles you've purchased--either from this promo or not--and archive a backup of the GOG installer, because it never hurts to be safe.

I appreciate the heads up about the games. Please keep up the transparency!

It is very nice of GOG to give an excellent download deal and be honest that there may be external forces that could override GOG's re-download features. GOG continues to be my #1 digital distribution site, for many reasons.

ChaunceyK: Quick question that can (hopefully) be answered as quickly...

I'm a big fan of rpg's with turn-based combat systems (Fallout 1/2, Arcanum, Might & Magic 1-5). Any of JoWooD's titles fit that bill?

The sale seems too good to pass up, but I also don't want to buy something I won't enjoy.
The only pure RPG of the package would be Gothic II and that one isn't turn-based. Since Spellforce is considered a mix of RPG and RTS (as in "real-time"), I'd assume the combat in it isn't turn-based either. No idea if any of the other strategy games offers that but then again they're not RPGs.

keeveek: Yeah, they stated that they are not obligated to do that, but i'm sure they will, to avoid any GROUP legal actions against them, which are cheaper than making individial claim.
Except then the publishers will do a group action against them.

Backing up every JoWooD game should take 2 standard DVDs, maybe needing 3 if all the bonuses are wanted or if they can't be organised enough to fit 4.7gb x2, in case anyone is worried about having room.

There are big files like Spell Force at 2.3gb but Alien Nations is only 167mb so it's not a huge amount of room needed.

Important question:
What games from JoWood need individual keys?
I think it would be appropriate to request those keys asap after purchase because later it may not be possible (if is the case).

That shouldn't be an issue as all the games are drm free. So it should never be necessary to use anything but the downloaded installer.

I found that Painkiller Black Edition and Spellforce require them. Well, have them. They aren't required for the single player, not sure about multiplayer.
