We'll be removing a number of games from the GOG.com catalog - here's your last call to get them with a special discount!

Today, we're here to honor the promise we gave you to announce ahead of time whenever we're taking a game down from sales. We wanted to give you one last chance to get the titles we're delisting with a considerable discount, and the partners involved agreed. There are 35 games on that list and you can get them all for up to 80% off until Tuesday, September 2, at 3:59AM GMT. Any title you buy will remain in your collection even after it's removed from our catalog, so you can always download and re-download the installers and bonus content. Check out the promo page to see which games this concerns.

We're still ironing out a few details. For now, the promo pages, like the one for the Last Chance Special, list all the game prices only in US dollars. But don't freak out: if you chose to use your local currency you will see the prices in local currency in checkout, and you can still finalize the transaction in local currency. We hope to have this issue fixed within the next weeks.

Grargar: Forget about Red Faction. Black Mirror 2 was only added last month! :/
But that release was less spectacular, as DRM-free versions of BM2 were already sold on other stores, at least the English version.

And I was waiting to Faith in Destiny to get all Spellforce series here in one purchase, guess I will not buy the series here because will be always lacking one title. And with Nordic apparently removing all games they have here, no more chances to have Titan Quest DRM-free...

Strangely, http://www.gog.com/forum/general/welcome_to_the_fresher_better_gogcom/ has now been edited (19 minutes ago by Chamb) to remove the rationale:

PS. Unfortunately, we need to drop some titles from our classic catalog. In such cases, we always do our best to give you an advance warning and a last chance to purchase such games - preferably with a considerable discount. Check this news post to find out which titles are being removed from our catalog, when will it happen, and what parting discounts for them do we currently offer.

Daliz: This is weird.

So, okay: are all Nordic games regionally priced elsewhere? I mean, everywhere?
avatar
KneeTheCap: I think every other distribution platform uses regional pricing, so yes, they are.
No. ShinyLoot has a good number of Nordic Games and they still don't have regional pricing... yet.

We could tweet Nordic Games:
https://twitter.com/NordicGamesAT

That shows that we're interested and might help to get them back on GOG.

Sad news, thanks for the warning. Bought everything from the backlog. I really hope for that's not a trial of strength.

Never heard of shinyloot, but if that's the case, I stand corrected. Thank you.

Red Faction 1+2 are also DRM-Free on GamersGate.

Haven't checked all the news yet but this one.

That's really sucky to see so many games leave the catalog. But if this is indeed due to publishers/devs not willing to stick to any kind of fair pricing, I say the hell with them!

I'm just really dissapointed at Frictional Games (Amnesia, Penumbra) and I'll gladly boycott their upcoming games. I'm just wondering why Machine for Pigs is still there, another publisher and dev, right?

I'm proud you stick to what you've said, gog. This isn't easy as the push to regional pricing seems quite insistent but know I'll remember to help any way I can in your endaevour.

Let the revolution begin!

Matruchus: I don't think this is about regional pricing since about two weeks ago Nordic was talking about bringing more games here. They must have had some falling out with gog.
Even if there was a falling out... wouldn't contacts require these titles be available for a certain duration?

With Bohemian Studios it was clear the license to sell was expiring on a specified date, with Fallout removal the titles were changing hands at an expected date. Sometimes titles are removed because there is a legal question. It seems very odd for there to be a sudden loss of active publisher who had announced impending titles.

LinustheBold: Jack Keane, we hardly knew ye. But we sure talked about ye a lot.

VanishedOne: If it's any consolation, JK1 isn't a Nordic game and will remain here.
I've actually got them both, though I haven't played them yet. But I'll miss those late lost nights of endless silent despair, with Jack blazing blearily, tauntingly on my monitor, and ... hold on, no I won't. 8)

I'd rather have regional pricing and have more games on GOG. As long as they stay DRM-free. Seriously... price is negotiable, while DRM is always an abomination by its very nature.

Doesn't Nordic also publish Titan Quest and Alan Wake now? Seems like a pretty big blow to GOG if they're no longer on good terms with them for whatever reason.

gandalf.nho: Considering the backlash when regional pricing was first announced, guess a lot of people here prefer no games...
avatar
ReynardFox: Exactly why I was pissed at people for said backlash. It seems getting crap cheap is more important than DRM free at all.
Oh yes... there will be blood.

Why some people take great pleasure in both misrepresenting and generalizing about the opinions of others is beyond me...

gandalf.nho: *snip*

That's true. No more chances to see Titan Quest on GOG. :-(
*sniff*
That makes me sad.
Posted August 27, 2014
So I wonder what other games will be next to leave?
