Sotamarsu: I noticed that GOG is using US version of Wizardry 8. What does it matter?
Well, when you exit the game you can see a game advertisement. This advertisement is present only in non-European version.

http://wizardry.wikia.com/wiki/Wizardry_8
"During the production of Wizardry 8, its publisher, Sir-Tech, went bankrupt. The final production process was rushed, and finally Sir-Tech was forced to sell advertising space within the game itself in order to make budget. This advertising appears when exiting the game (but not in the European version)."

I have the original EU version and would be willing to share the non-advertised version to everyone. If it is ok, I'll put a link to the file.

GOG support answered to my question as follows:

Hello

Thank you for writing and for your offer, the advertisement only appears when exiting the game and we will not be removing it.
Have a nice day.

Regards

If we removed the ad then the purists below your post would be clamoring for a return of the ad :D. I'd rather have the game preserved as-is because that was the way it came out back in the day.
