GOG.com and Interplay Level up!

GOG.com has been in talks with our good friends at Interplay, and we’re pleased to be able to say that we have good news! Not only are we adding four classic games from their catalog to GOG.com in the near future, but we’re also going to give you another chance to [url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/interplay_price_change_promo_09_11_12]save big on the games we already have for the next week!

Every silver lining has a cloud, though, and the reason that we’re putting the games on sale again is because we’re raising the prices on some of the Interplay games on the 16th of November as part of our new deal with Interplay. As such, games such as Fallout, MDK, Redneck Rampage and others may never be as cheap on GOG.com as they will be this next week. If you’ve been hesitating to pull the trigger on any classic Interplay games, now’s your last chance to buy and save big!

What are the new games that we’re adding to the Interplay collection? Well, if you know GOG.com, you know what we don’t like to give away that kind of news early, but if you’re paying attention on our website--or on any of our social media channels like , [url=http://www.facebook.com/gogcom]Facebook, , [url=http://www.youtube.com/gogcom]Google+ or even just your email inbox, you’ll be sure to find out.

So pick up our last huzzay of Interplay games at $2.99 this week, and let us know in the comments below what classic Interplay games you’re hoping will show up on GOG.com early next year--or perhaps even sooner!

Fenixp: Isn't that a Blizzard game?

Licurg: I think it was initially published by Interplay, just like Blackthorne, so they might still have the rights to it.
I dunno, the latest version of the game, the GBA version, was published by Blizzard themselves.

Yes, but the original PC version was published by Interplay.

Not to be nit picky but Interplay does not own Bards Tale 1-3 EA does, yes they made it but the publishing deal they made with EA allowed EA to keep the rights to the series.

Well then, without Bard's Tale, I have no idea what's coming out. But I can say this... it better be worth it if the only way to get these was to raise the prices on some of the more popular Interplay titles.

I cherry picked Descent 3 because it's the only game i've had a passing interest on that i didn't own already. Now I'm wondering about Lionheart.

The reviews don't even give it the five star treatment other games get, apparently because it gets repetitive and uninspired by the end, due to things happening at Black isle at the time. Then again, I have a bunch of RPG's still unplayed (both icewind Dales, first Baldur's gate, Beyond Divinity, Arcanum...) and I'm going "Do i seriously need this?". Then again, the only convincing factor is the fact that it might go up in price later on. At 3 bucks, it should be chump change, I spend more than that on a meal, but spending 3 dollars on a game that i may not play because... because...

Screw that, I think I just sold it to myself. It's just 3 bucks for a pretty graphic on my shelf that will stay there AGES, but I've spent more money on less worthwhile things. if I do get some enjoyment out of it, even if I don't finish it, it'll have been worth more than three bucks.

Well, the original Bard's tale trilogy is now incorporated in the new The Bard's Tale game from InXile Ent. (on Steam).
Posted November 10, 2012
I know, you know, we all know, that I shouldn't buy more games, that I already have too many unplayed games and too little time to play new ones. But let's say, just for the sake of it, that I am considering the purchase of one RPG. Which one should it be, Lionheart or Stonekeep? Or maybe I should just buy both of them (just theoretically, of course)?

I am interested in Lionheart because I like Black Isle games; even if it gets repetitive after a while, I suspect at least I'll enjoy the beginning. And of Stonekeep I know almost nothing, but I've read a few reviews and they all are enthusiastic.

Price rises.... Seriously GOG? That's disgusting! So they must be going up to $9.99 as GOG has always said it'll only use those 2 price brackets for old games, unless that's another great big cow dollop they're doing on the face of their followers. I'm getting further and further away from caring about supporting GOG and using it as my go to for old games.

Another wimpy concession from GOG.

... I thought Inxile owned the rights to Bard's Tale now. Since they include the games with the Steam release of the game.

What would you prefer... having to accept a crappy deal from a crappily managed shell of a company, or having to remove around 50 titles from the catalog at once because Interplay is desperate for money and will do anything, even completely idiotic things like this, to "survive"?

This is only going to drive them further into bankruptcy. But try explaining that to them.

Maybe, though I heard they talked EA into letting them do that along with letting them package Wasteland 1 with Wasteland 2

I know this is not the classifieds thread, but this is the perfect place to find people who want to buy Interplay games. Maybe someone somehow lost the PWYW promo?

Anyway I wanna trade one package (VR Soccer '96; Kingdom: The Far Reaches; Evolva; Screamer; Shattered Steel; Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business; M.A.X. + M.A.X. 2; Conquest of the New World) for just one game: Evolva

Yes it is part of the package I'm offering. I don't wanna redeem the code and clutter my shelf with games I won't play. If they could be redeemed individually the other 7 games would already be in a giveaway.

I'd rather they had the backbone not to give in. If Interplay is that desperate for money they should've been more willing to accept terms, maybe gog could've even purchased the licenses on the cheap if they were that needy. Why should we, the end users who gog allegedly care about so much suffer?

Yes, they don't care. That's why they didn't give us a heads up about the price increase, or put on a sale to sell said games at a severely reduced price before that happens.

Wow that's some impressive sarcasm. Yes that's a good step but it still doesn't change the fact in the long run.

Really depends on what's in the contract terms between Gog and Interplay i imagine.Reckon similar terms with other publishers - so would not be surprised if another publisher did something similar if they need (or get greedy) $$$...
