The course of the future is in your hands. You are JC Denton, the last hope of humanity as it spirals into chaos.

Experience the opportunity to be a futuristic freedom fighter in Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition, here on GOG.com, for just $9.99!

Deus Ex is without a doubt one of the best, most influential games in history. PC Gamer and PC Zone both have named it the best PC game of all time. It has received countless numbers of “Best”, “Greatest” and “Top” game awards. The story of JC Denton is a perfect fusion of RPG, FPS, and adventure. The world of Deus Ex is immense, the storyline is ambitious and layered, and the freedom of choice guarantees high replayability.

Ancient conspiracies, secret agendas, political intrigues, twisted plots, nanotech-augmentations, difficult moral choices, twenty-four weapons, intense action, deep character customization - it’s all here and it truly combines into a cohesive whole. The depth of the in-game experience and interaction will engage you on a level unparalleled by any other game.

Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition is as close as you can get to the real year 2052 without growing really, really old for $9.99.

fisk0: It always was though, unless you bought it on Steam. :)
The original game, like most Unreal engine 1 titles, neither used activation keys nor CD checks.

frankd3: The original game, I still have the disk, has a simple CD check that can be easily defeated by editing the DeusEx.ini file. And this was the same for Unreal. But they will ask for the CD until you make that change. Maybe that was only in the U.S. version.
Could've been an US exclusive, or only for the original (non-GOTY/Gold) releases of the game. I certainly never had to have the CD in the drive after install (I don't even think you needed to run the installer from the disc, you could copy it to the hard drive and go from there) for either Unreal Gold, Unreal Tournament 99 GOTY or Deus Ex GOTY.

Yeah, I never bought the GOTY edition only the initial release. But my experience with the original Unreal Tournament was the same as yours.
The CD check was funny because everybody knew how to defeat it the day after it was released.

These new EULA that GoG is making everyone agree to lately are total crap.

"Without prejudice to paragraph 4 above, we may from time to time during your gameplay collect non-personally identifiable information about your hardware system including how you are using the Software Product. This information may also include your internet protocol (I.P.) address (a numeric number assigned by your internet service provider to identify your PC). This information may be used not only to help you play the game on the Software Product over the Internet (where the Software Product contains Online Features) but also to help us better understand how our customers are using the game, their behaviour and preferences, so that we can improve our computer games and services in the future. This information will not, however, be used to personally identify you without you being aware of it and without your further, separate consent having been given."

Wtf? If you aren't going to do it, don't put it in a license designed explicitly for Deus Ex. If you are going to do this ....

At what cost your soul?

I played this for the first time last year. I bought it as part of a double pack. On Steam. In a sale. Your move GoG.

Bah, I wish I had known about this. Just bought a copy from my local game store before christmas :(
Posted January 26, 2012
I bought on Steam before but It didn't work quiet right on my computer and I didn't really spend much time trying to tweak it. Might have to buy the GOG version just to have a more user friendly experience playing.
Posted January 26, 2012
Steam version worked just fine for me. Was even able to use the textures/HD mod.

Let's celebrate the fact that EU embrased ACTA by playing the game which shows so nicely how messed any government can be. Thanks for releasing an another gem.

It's news to me. Do all GOG games 'call home'?

I have a question here:

mod install order

Basically I have downloaded kentie's deus exe v4, kentie's deus ex directx 10 launcher, hdtp, new vision, and nyc hell's kitchen map on boct's deus ex thread in the subforum for deux ex. Which should I install first and in what order should I install them?

I have installed the game btw.

Always wanted to play this. So it's an easy buy.

Now...

When can we expect a working version of Gorky 17?
Posted January 26, 2012
Already own it on Steam and it works fine there. Still though, Deus Ex is a great game.
Posted January 26, 2012
Fifth copy, second digital, but first one without DRM - I will never stop buying the best game I've ever played.
Posted January 26, 2012
I love it! Fallout, Planescape Torment, Alpha Centauri and now Deus Ex. It's great to see so many of my favorite titles from what I consider PC gaming's Golden Age on GOG. Two titles I would love to see are System SHock 2 and Vampire: Bloodlines. That's my wishlist!
