Lucasfilm strikes back.

January 27:
It's been a long weekend for Star Wars™ fans among us. Today marks the return of Lucasfilm on GOG.com: WAVE II, with the final batch of three Star Wars™ titles:

A 20% launch discount awaits those who join the fight against the dark side in the next 72-hours with three new releases:
Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
<i>Star Wars&trade;</i> Republic Commando
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Starfighter&trade;

As the Wave II timer ticks down to a zero for the last time, one of the most exciting weeks in the history of GOG.com comes to a close. We couldn't be happier with the series of amazing titles we added to our catalog this week, and we're proud to have teamed up with ©Disney Interactive to finally restore six iconic Star Wars™ games back into the hands of gamers exclusively on GOG.com.

January 22:
The time is now! Lucasfilm strikes back with three more Star Wars™ classics available now on GOG.com! This means the exclusive GOG.com digital premiere of two more spacefaring titles:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Rogue Squadron - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Rebellion - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!

<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Empire at War: Gold Pack is now also available for purchase, DRM-free with a 72-hour, 20% launch discount!

The timer is still ticking, so stay tuned for one more reveal from ©Disney Interactive and GOG.com!

January 20:
A long time ago in a galaxy near you, ©Disney Interactive and <B>GOG.com</B> teamed up to bring you the holy grail of classic gaming: six Lucasfilm cult-classics were added to our DRM-free catalog, including three titles which saw their digital premiere on GOG.com. We also made a promise to bring you many more cult-classics in the future and, believe us, we did not forget.

Today, with great pride and joy, we're excited to announce Wave II of Lucasfilm games on GOG.com! Starting right now, six new Star Wars™ classics are available in our DRM-free Lucasfilm/Disney catalog. This includes three amazing titles available, for the first time in digital distribution, exclusively on GOG.com:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing Alliance&trade; - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Galactic Battlegrounds Saga - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!

We're also celebrating the DRM-free release of these Star Wars™ games with a 72-hour 20% launch discount:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Battlefront&trade; II
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Dark Forces
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Knights of the Old Republic&trade; II: The Sith Lords&trade;

Just in case you missed your chance last time, you can grab three more Lucasfilm classics for the same 20% discount, until Friday, January 30, at 1:59 PM GMT!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Knights of the Old Republic&trade;
Indiana Jones&reg; and the Fate of Atlantis&trade;
The Secret of Monkey Island&trade;: Special Edition

Our Lucasfilm/Disney is made that much more impressive today thanks to our team-up with ©Disney Interactive. The 6 new Star Wars™ releases, which include 3 digital premieres exclusively on GOG.com, are barely the beginning. We're not saying more right now, but we know the wait will be worth it for six great reasons - keep watching the front page and stay tuned for more exciting Lucasfilm titles releasing on GOG.com when the timer strikes zero!

Why are these called digital premier when these games have always been digital and have always been distributed digitally?

I'm pretty sure the original X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and Dark Forces were never distributed digitally, at least not when they were released.

Th ones with the Digital Premiere tag have never been distributed in a digital form but only in retail :)

I think that "digital distribution" of the PC version refers to the option to purchase them as download.

So you claim these games used to be analog? Do you have any proof of this?

The retail versions, bought in store, were still digital. I think you mean "online" instead of "digital".

You don't have to be so defensive. :D
No I don't have any proof, but then I don't have any proof I exist either but I'm not going to dispute it. :P

My point is that these games have always been digital and distributed digitally. GoG has misused the term "digital" when they meant to say "online". GoG have brought these games into ONLINE distribution debut. Or INTERNET distribution debut.

I would bet that it have been possible to order the discs through online stores somewhere.

"Digital distribution" however, generally means "downloads" (perhaps even "streaming", I'm not sure). Shipping a disc is analogue (and offline) distribution for a digital storage media.

"Online distribution" is also called "digital distribution".
And if I as a non-native speaker can understand what GOG means you can be sure they chose a term that is easy enough to understand.
Or are you just trying to be anal retentive about it?

Piranjade: "Online distribution" is also called "digital distribution".
This was my point, but as anyone who knows me can testify, 99% of what I say comes directly out of my ass, so I apologize of I was misleading and or wrong with this one. :D

And incorrectly so, because the term digital means data encoded in some quantized form, such as binary. However, because the term "digital" sounds cool and techy, various people and companies over the years have turned it into a marketing buzzword and misused it, creating monstrously inaccurate terms people use today such as "digital distribution," distorting it's meaning. Similar to how marketers have created the horrible term "organic food."

This is not a matter of anal retentiveness, but a matter of retaining the integrity of language and it's ease of understanding and learning. However, on an unrelated note, I do happen to be constipated because I haven't been eating enough vegetables.
