foxworks: Nice! :D

HypersomniacLive: Nice doesn't start to cover it, as my Secret Santa spoiled me with his gifts! :-)

EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm talking about this event here on GOG.
Ahhh, okay. I missed that event. And here I was thinking of Santa-Sinistar ;-)

ChrisSD: Seriously, was this prompted by Guilty Gear again? Why don't people ever name the game when they start topics like this?! :P Every time they always make vague statements about "trends" but don't tell you no facts.

I demand facts! And cake!

JKHSawyer: Recent announcement that ArmA and Original War will leave GOG (Both I own on GOG and Steam already), which lead to me looking at all the games GOG lost over the years (about 19 in total, not counting ArmA).

I'm aware this happens at every DD store, it still irks me Steam took down Wolfenstein 2009 and Quake Wars :S

However, when it happens to GOG, it's really sad, since I see this place as a game museum of sorts.

What a shame.
From what lazydog says, I don't think they're removing it from GOG? Multiplayer is moving to Steam but you can still connect to an IP address directly, I think.

And it's not everyday that GameSpy closes down so this sounds more like a one off. And once Galaxy Of Gog is released this will be even less likely to happen.

"Important note: This is a last chance promo, as Arma Gold Edition, Arma: Cold War Assault, and Arma 2: Combined Operations will be removed from sales on GOG.com on June 22, along with the remaining Bohemia Interactive title: Original War. If you buy (or have already bought) any of these games, they will remain on your account "shelf", so you'll be still able to access and download them."

Ah I missed that, thanks. I stand corrected.

He's supposed to be secret, so not telling who he was. ;-)

And how could you have missed the event? It's right up your alley, I expect to see you this year or there will be sanctions. ;-P

Come December 2014, if I don't see your name in Secret Santa 2014, I will personally start spamming your PM with messages. Let's hope that it won't come to this, right? >;-)

HypersomniacLive: Jokes aside, this one seems to be in actual danger.
Wait what? Why?!
That game's on my wishlist since forever! Gotta get it soon if they'll take it down at some point :(

I think you know the entity that owns the Fallout games now. Well, the same entity also owns Arkane Studios, the makers of Arx Fatalis.
Also, I'm not sure how good of an idea is to wait for the game to be discounted, since it hasn't been discounted ever since December 2012.

I am not an expert in contract negotiation, nor do I have any sort of insider knowledge about GOG's deals with publishers. That being said, maybe you should grab up anything you had your eye on that's been published by Activision.

Damn it! It's just that this is the only classic RPG missing in my GOG Collection (I think), but it didn't have that high of a priority. And yeah, I guess I haven't gotten it yet because it didn't appear on a promo.

Well, I hope they'll announce if it'll get pulled and I'll get it then! =)

Ah sh*t! This has interested me for years. I hope they won't lose it. Summer School bills keep me on a tight budget for gaming.
