Apparently, there are a bunch of strategy games on sale here on GOG, for no apparent reason.

Sacrifice
Overlord
Theme Hospital
Startopia
Evil Genius
Tropico Reloaded

Most seem to be 50% off. Overlord and Evil Genius are 60% off.
No indication that it is connected to the current Irish sale. Perhaps one of the blues can enlighten us?

EDIT: Trying to check out gives you "DK special promo" as the explanation. Whatever that might be.

LOL ! Why wasn't I informed ? :/


EDIT: There's nothing about any sale on the pages of any of the games... Could it be a permanent price drop ?

It's displayed like a sale (Orange price tag, "You save" etc.) so that seems a bit unlikely.
Seems more like a sale that went up too soon or something.

Any idea what DK stands for? Because when I go to the checkout screen it mentions "DK Special Promo 17/03/14"

Dungeon Keeper is the only thing that comes to mind....

Weird, wonder if they're priming another sale on the side? Looks like a good time to finally grab Overlord for myself, at least.

I'd love Overlord but I don't have the OS for it. :-(
Unless turning down all the settings won't totally ruin it. Anyone here ever play it?

EVERYONE BUY SACRIFICE !!!

There were a couple on sale last week too.
I've made a point of using the 'discounted' filter on the browse page, since no more than 20 will show on the front page :)

Of course Theme Hospital is on sale. I just bought it last week. Grumble, grumble. :)

That my friend is a physical law of the Universe! Someone with a D.A. avatar should know that! :P 90% of the games I own here I bought a few hours before they went on sale.

Oh, I know that, and I would just like to provide a relevant quote:

“One of the things Ford Prefect had always found hardest to understand about humans was their habit of continually stating and repeating the very very obvious.”

Here's the explanation

Apparently it's a sale for games GOG thinks Dungeon Keeper fans will enjoy since they gave DK away a while back. I just got an email about it.
