DotEmu doesn't have any DRM on their games; I'm not sure where you got that info. At any rate, besides 4-6 games from those leaving, the rest can be found on the aforementioned stores, either DRM-Free or with an offline serial key.

Games on DotEmu are also DRM free ... Grargar is absolutelly right!

50% of the taxes we pay are used to serve useful, necessary or essential purposes. The problem is all the gravy machinery that has been built to "consume" the other 50%.. That part of the money is actually diverted towards all kind of structures that actually make a living out of it. That money could be used to provide much better services to the people, or could be left in the consumption circuit.

Mouais,pas tout à fait . il doit y avoir 25% de sang flamand dans mes veines et 25% de sang français.

Maybe it has changed since I downloaded GG games the last time. As I recall, back then each GG game (which you download from GG, not e.g. Steam keys) had its own separate downloader application, and with that you had to make sure you copy the temp files to a safe place (in order to keep a DRM-free installer), before you exit that app.

I guess I'll know soon enough, I'll redownload my GG games.

EDIT: Ok I saw the additional discussion about it. Anyway, as long as people know how to obtain the DRM-free installer from GG.

I'm curious to see what will happen if I load games in my cart and they are removed from the catalog before I purchase them. Will they disappear from my cart? If I try to buy them will GOG deny the sale?
Good point.

Maybe Nordic is over generalizing their pricing structure into set tiers, not necessarily by specific game, and having Silver (even if exclusive to GOG) at a different price point is disproportionate. ...or maybe Nordic is trying to lump many of it's games together to get more "bargaining power" (possibly even GOG is doing this).

For future titles I can imagine having them here but for Amnesia and Penumbra ... I don't believe that they'll come back. :-(
But keep in mind that that's just my personal opinion.

Which games would you guys recommend I'd get before they get wiped from GOG.com?

So far I got:

- Gothic 2 Gold Edition
- Gothic 3
- Penumbra Collection, The
- Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive
- Painkiller Black Edition
- Silver
- Black Mirror, The
- Black Mirror 2
- Freedom Force vs. The 3rd Reich

Spellforce games are a fun mixture of RPG and RTS. Red Faction is apparently good, if you're into shooters.
Summoner is also a good RPG. I played it on the PS2 so I don't know if it works well on PC ( specially chain attacks).

Ah ben dis comme ça, c'est déjà plus défendable...

Not really. I wouldn't take it because I don't really have time to play it. It would be rather bad to take a game just to rust in my library, when someone else can enjoy it ;)

But I get your point now about problems with gift codes. It's probably new site labour pains. As professional dev with few years and projects under his belt I can assure you that it's pretty normal. They should iron it out rather fast.
Not that you are wrong to be angered, you've put your money and you have any right to complain. I just felt a little bit of sympathy towards them after all this "regional pricing" debate.

From those that you don't have I would look at "Summoner". I see you've picked few RPG's, you may want to check this one. Never played it for large amounts of time, but heard a lot of good things about it. I personally have PS2 version that I'm planning to give it a spin at some point in the future.

so share please your opinion on this:

if the publishers just drop the prices everywhere else instead of removing the games here, more people buy them and in the end they get more money, so everyone wins.

do i see it wrong?

Nevermind. Just being an idiot. :)

Also, why isn't The Book of Unwritten Tales part of the sale? It's publisher is listed as Nordic Games. The same goes for Critter Chronicles and Raven.

Just your idea. Ever since their release, the games have been self-published.

The Book of Unwritten Tales games, along with The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief, won't be removed from the catalog, which is why they are not part of the sale. Interestingly, they are now regionally-priced.

It's interesting that neither Frictional nor Nordic is fully pulling out. Of course, the only games left are the ones I wouldn't consider so they are as good as gone any. :/

Does GG also have a linux downloader or is it windows only?
Yes, of course. But these are low (otherwise you should start to blame your bank for unfair pricing and not GOG!) and I rather pay the conversion charges than having this multi-currency mess now and lose games because of it.
