Paingiver: I looked to GamersGate but it seems if you buy from them you can only install from internet? Isn't there a site like GOG?

Psyringe: Officially, GamersGate requires an internet authentication each time you install a game, in order to decrypt the installer. Practically, you need to do the authentication only once - just copy the decrypted installer out of the folder before it gets encrypted again. You then never need to authenticate this game again. You don't even need to actually install the game to do this, it's enough to just start the installation. So, for every game I buy at GamersGate, I decrypt the installer using this method, and then burn the files on a DVD, as a fully functioning archive that doesn't need online authentication ever again. Which is good enough for me - as long as that's possible, I'll keep buying there.
If it can be done, i will buy. Thanks for the good news ^^

Keep in mind this is only for the games that say DRM-free on their page. I don't think many of the games you listed in your previous post (Limbo, Pirates, Tales of MI) say DRM-free.

ne_zavarj: For me :
GamersGate deals > Steam deals

GamersGate = our local grocery
Steam = Wallmart / Tesco
:p
We know, you always remind us of your opinion of Steam :)

Gamersgate (uk) have dropped their Dungeons & Dragons Anthology price to a meager £7.48 ! Apparently they're basically the GOG games anyhow (installers, extras etc) I wish I hadn't bought Icewind Dale on GOG yesterday now or I'd have picked this pack up.

New game deal: GamersGate has updated the 1C Complete Collection.

Previously it contained 38 games for 99€. Now, it contains 96 games, and the current price is 120 €. While that's a lot of money, I find paying 1.25€ per game in the package actually a tempting deal. There are lots of games in the bundle that I'd buy anyway sooner or later, even at a higher price per game (Star Rangers complete including Reboot, Star Wolves 1-3, Cryostasis, Reign, Farewell to Dragons, King's Bounty: Armored Princess and it's expansion, several racing games). And the ones that I already have (e.g. UFO trilogy) can be individually traded, or just gifted away. Hmmm ...

Correction: It's 86 games, so the price per game is 1.40 € (still very tempting), or (if you buy the pack from the US for 100$), then it's 1.16 $ per game. Humm. Is there a way for me to buy the US version? :)

Look at the product pages on Gamersgate you will see something like this;
Platform:PC
File size:9 557.91 MB
Categories:RPG, Real-time Strategy, Turn-based RPG
Publisher:Atari
DRM:DRM Free

It will show what kind of drm the game has.

And yes this is from Dungeons & Dragons Anthology: The Master Collection so it is drm-free.

It's great value even at full price for that matter. Once GOG introduces more price points, they could have awesome bundles like these.

So this version is better than GOG's collection of D&D buying seperately?

And i have one more question:
Some of the games list as DRM: See bundled products. Is it mean that these games are collection look the games consisting of this collection?

Yes. Check out the individual games for their DRM (and other requirements).

Yeah. Currently however this is *dwarfing* the prices these games have on Gog though, even on sale it would have been like what, 27,50? To get all of these games on Gog.

It's only 9,98 atm for the whole collection.
Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 + Expansions
Icewind Dale 1 & 2 + Expansions
Planescape: Torment
The Temple of Elemental Evil

Anyone know if you can gift individual games from the Dungeons & Dragons Anthology: The Master Collection on GamersGate?

Cause I already have BG 1&2 and ToEE here on GOG. So I'm only missing half the pack.
