Sure an equal bundle sale here would the fair response for GOG customers(although that doesn't cover those that have already bought the 3 releases so far) but obviously Cinemaware nor GOG had never planned this.As written above, with the Steam sale, Cinemaware is not going to see all that much profit.

It seems like a deliberate move from Steam to throw out that Cinemaware bundle for next to nothing in order to draw away some of GOGs customers and further infringe upon the classic games territory to damage GOG.

will be getting the bundle on steam later , still i wonder where they will make more sales we will find out at the end of upcoming year end sales i guess

The sensible solution to keep the profits coming is to also offer separately DotC CDTV, DotC II (CD32), Robin Hood: DotC (PC). DotC: DRE (PC), there is no use crying over spilled milk. Besides, many of these titles were offered for free for years at cinemaware's website, there is a limit at how much you can milk those titles.

Steam doesn't set prices for third party games, they only suggest them. This was most likely Kalypso's doing, possibly a miscommunication between Cinemaware and Kalypso on how they preferred to sell their 'collection'.

Besides what Pheace said, I don't think GOG wants to be known only for classic games anymore, anyway.

with all this talk about blindly signing contracts and Kalypso, did anyone notice who is the publisher on Steam? It may be a mistake, though....

That is true.Though the Cinemaware/GOG combination is a collaboration that makes perfect sense and all of the future GOG Cinemaware sales have been greatly diminished now.

Somehow this Steam incident doesn't seem coincidental to me.But i may be wrong of course, just speculating.

I don't think GOG wants people to think they have to pay through the nose to get DRM free games that are cheaper on Steam either.

It's written cinemaware , though, by looking there (for the manuals), Kalypso is nvolved (as pointed in past posts)

Cinemaware is also listed as the publisher for Wings Remastered on Steam. GOG's and GamersGate's entries disagree, though.

Yeah, problem solved.

They probably won't do that though. Just skimming over this thread, I'm appalled by the amount of people here who are REWARDING their shitty behaviour. "Well, they sure fucked us GOG customers in the ass royally! What are we gonna do about it? Oh, I know: Give them even more money by buying their shit on Steam! That'll teach'em!"

The release announcement is pretty clear though :

http://forum.kalypsomedia.com/archive/index.php?thread-25977.html

"Cinemaware Anthology: 1986-1991 is available now for PC via digital distrubtion for £7.99/€9.99/$9.99 with a boxed retail version scheduled for a 2015 launch."

I just hope it isn't just a glorified Steam key.

Little hope. "Steam is what customers want" ... You can always ask Kalypso, of course :

Thanks for the info, but as far as I know, Kalypso games on retail don't require a Steam key, but activation through their launcher. Even the newly-released Tropico 5 doesn't require Steam (Look at Customer Questions & Answers).
