I just had a look at the 3d realms collection they are offering on their website. It is very tempting but I own all the titles gog has of theirs, but if they go for half price again I will buy in an instant.
Which leads me to my question: Are there any other game devs/publishers doing a similar sort of thing?

Many thanks

Zojoi sells the original Shadowgate, Deja Vu, and Uninvited.

Very useful to know, thank you and +1

Larian have their own store. Blizzard have been selling their own games for a long time already, but only from the Battle.Net era.

well EA has origin and they sell quite a few of their older titles there
square enix also has their own shop ( mostly the old ff games )

Both of those companies also attach horrible DRM to those games though.

and they still sell their own games via their own shops
and that was the original question

Excited about the blizzard store. anyone know how restrictive the battle.net DRM is (eg: will i need to be online to play?).

unfortuntly I'm not surportive of origin due to the afformentioned drm, and i should imangine square will be the same. but thanks all the same and +1 to all

i should not mention the ubisoft store then >.>

Best not :)

i have used battle.net but most with wow and th demo version of diablo 3 ( didnt like diablo 3 )

so i am not sure if its needed for diablo 2 or warcraft 3

Don't forget that was a large point to the original use of Steam! :P

Yeah it's the classics I'm interestered in. But I did enjoy Diablo 3 co-op on PS3.

hell if its diablo II you want i can send you the actual game on 3 cd's

TBH I am not totaly against Steam. but if it was'nt for there okish offline play i would hate it.
