Unless GOG now has a $60 price point, I don't think that's particularly likely.

That. Sounds. Awesome.

Why the hell that game is priced 55$???

You never heard of Impossible Creatures before either?

It sounds it, but unfortunately it's not the game he's making it out to be.

While it was an ambitious venture, and was certainly an enjoyable strategy game, the game suffered from the simple fact that there were "best" combinations. Realistically you always combined a lobster with an elephant, because that made a highly armoured elephant sized creature. It was fun at first, but it soon wore out.

I bought it at time of release, but unfortunately it went during my ill advised games purge, and I sold it on for 20p.

If you combine a lobster and an elephant, that unit would cost a lot of resources and would take much longer to make, so the game isn't actually as simple as you think. Having loads of "best" units, as you described them, just means you'll get swamped early in the game and lose.

Played it, beat it, uninstalled it. Quite simply, I don't share your high opinion of the game. I consider it - quite good.

Played it, beat it, did not uninstall it. IC is a masterpiece of gaming in every aspect, and a criminally underrated game, with good graphics, great voice-acting, and ORIGINALITY, something which the vast majority of games don't have. But hey, why buy a good game, made by a good(now bankrupt) company, when we could just buy FIFA...

I'd say because Shrapnel Games have an unjustifiably high opinion of their game.

Because Illwinter have a justifiably high opinion of their game. FTFY.

If you want to play a crazily detailed high-magic, high-diplomacy strategy game where you'll have to think on turn orders nearly as long and as hard as you would in real life, Dom 3 is the game for you.

As such, they can ask any price people can afford, but can't lower it too much because that wouldn't increase demand (on the contrary, angry casual gamers would complain how they totally wasted their ten bucks).

That being said, the prime requirement for any game to be on GOG is that customers who purchased the game based on nothing more than "I heard it's good" comprise a satisfied majority. Dom 3 doesn't qualify.

The same reason we want DotEmu games here (like Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines), or games that are sold DRM-free from the developers' sites directly, like Penumbra series and Amnesia.

That is, because it is still somewhat nicer to buy games only from a few sites than dozen different sites that you are not necessarily familiar with, and also because it is simply not a good reason to reject a game just because it is available elsewhere too.

To use your argument: should GamersGate sell only games that are not sold on Steam, and vice versa? E.g. no game should be sold on more than one site?

I for one don't have Majesty Gold (HD) yet. I think I have the non-gold version on CD, though.

:o

Pool paradise

I'm sorry, but unless legal copies are in extremely short supply, then a game from 2006 has no business being sold for $55.

Furthermore, if selling a game for $10 attracts hoardes of impulse-buying casual gamers who somehow ruin the game for hardcore players, then why exactly is GOG not overrun with them?

For me: it is Severance Blade of Darkness

I have waited for years to see this masterpiece on GOG

It sells for however much the market can bear. There are no "better" games catering to the same niche in 2012. There's probably some generational effect at play already, meaning that, theoretically, it can sell indefinitely.

Casual gamers won't "ruin" the game for anyone - but they would generate negative publicity ("This game is teh suxxors!"). Dom 3 for $10 won't sustainably sell six times as many copies.

GOG games are *not* niche. That's what I like about GOG. If you like the genre at all and don't mind the graphics, you will probably enjoy a 4-5 star GOG enough to justify the price.
