Shadow of Chernobyl + Clear Sky + Call of Pripyat up to 70% off!

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, the phenomenally immersive FPS survival horror series set in the terrifyingly believable radioactive "Zone" surrounding the explosion site of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, is available up to 70% off on GOG.com. That's only $14.97 for the set of three for the next 72 hours.

Not many people truly understand what it means to be a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. We're Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killers, Explorers, and Robbers. Basically, what each of us is, is a bit of a soldier, a bit of a thief, a bit of a hunter, a bit of a nutjob, and a full-time basterd. Imagine what's happening in our heads. The Zone is calling for us ahead, new locations and unknown threats, spatial holes and monsters hiding in the fog, pitch-black nights and saving rays of a rising sun. You try to avoid anomalies and hide from blowouts, discover the Zone and collect artifacts, cure radioactive irradiation and fight for any stalker faction you like! This is the life, right? If only it didn't end so promptly, ever so often.

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series delivers one of the most immersive and enthralling experiences in the history of first-person shooters. Calling it a "shooter", however, might be a bit of a stretch. The games' focus leans mostly towards exploration and stealth. In most cases, it's best to avoid encounters rather than face the dangers head-on. The Chernobyl exclusion zone is full of things that could kill you in an eyeblink. Strange creatures, physics-defying phenomena, not to mention the other men bold or insane enough to venture into the heart of eastern-european Twilight Zone. The competition is ruthless, as the prizes are great--the fascinating artifacts found in the forbidden land yield unbelievable prizes on the black market. If you think you have what it takes to become one of the fabled S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s, the whole story of the Chernobyl Zone opens before you: the original Shadow of Chernobyl, the prequel Clear Sky, and the sequel Call of Pripyat. All three games come with high-quality soundtracks encoded in lossless FLAC format.

For the next 72 hours, that is until Sunday, February 9, at 10:59 GMT, you can get the entire S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series 70% off, that is for only $14.97. Separately, the games come with 50% off discount for that time.

EDIT:
Now, that the release special offer has expired, the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games are priced at $19.99, $9.99, and $19.99 for Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat respectively. A permanent 20% off series discount still applies, if you get all three at the same time.
Shadow of Chernobyl system reqs says "Patched to version 1.006".
Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat patched to which version?

Amazing release, btw. Bought all of those on DVDs last year.

Phasmid: GSC Gameworld, according to the game card. They didn't go bust and the company still exists unlike, say, THQ. They just cancelled Stalker 2 and aren't (so far as we know) making games any more.

(And presumably GOG will get some money as well...)

Nettacki01: Indeed they don't make games anymore. In fact the company that exists nowadays is a shell of its former self, with many of its members moving on to form Vostok Games and 4A Games. Therefore, if we buy this game now, I feel that none of the money will go to the people that actually made it.
You can purchase a brand new title that was released to the public yesterday and not have any of that money go to directly to the devs.

Unless they have some sort of royalties to the profits after the fact, then the money went to most of the developers in the studio whenever they developed the game a long time ago. In either case you don't really know because a lot of that info is not public knowledge.

Actually they're still in business. Stalker 2 was not cancelled and they still have other projects.

Thanks! The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series definitely seems to be something I can get into, and I'll definitely be buying the entire series (and checking out the book/movie). The two modern Fallouts are not necessarily bad games, they just aren't for me.
Nevermind

JohnnyDollar: How do buy a game based on whether the money goes "to the people that actually made it"? How do you know who all of the employees were in the studio during development? How do you know where those employees are now? How do you know how the money is distributed, then and now? How do you know what everyone's contracts or salaries were? How do you know who gets royalties?

What are you doing, looking at what's listed on the store page and cross referencing that with Wikipedia? lol Come on! If I had to dig around and find all of that stuff before I purchase a game, I would never be able to play anything!
think you meant to reply to the other poster.

Yeah, I'm gonna edit that. I deleted my original sentence and typed something else, but didn't bother to take the quotes out when I did.

Actually, I think I'm just gonna delete it. It comes across a little derogatory, and I don't feel like editing it. hehe
After having a bad day... finding your favorite franchise ever going DRM-Free, on your favorite digital retailer, OST included... priceless.
I always had my eye on this franchise, but never played it. Between all the praise here, the praise from a co-worker who has played it, and the phenomenal discount I just had to break down and buy all three.

That is now three more to add to the pile...

Pretty much the same here... Post apocalypse, $15,....add to the pile.
I really want them but don't want to stretch my budget. So if anyone wants to trade:

You can pretty much make outrageous demands and I'll probably agree. I'm insane like that, but insane people don't think their insane, so am I.
