PC Building Simulator, Ultimate Fishing Simulator, and Plane Mechanic Simulator are now DRM-free and up to 45% off!

In PC Building Simulator (-30%), you can find out how "easy" it really is to plug a Ryzen 5 Six-Core 1600X to a Z170 Mtech motherboard, with two GeForce GTX 1060s in SLI. To celebrate the arrival of the game into the DRM-free world, Claudiu Kiss and The Irregular Corp have announced the upcoming release of special GOG-branded in-game wallpapers as well as a custom GOG/NZXT in-game case in the GOG version.

Hop on a boat with your fishing rod and a healthy amount of bait to catch some feisty sea creatures in Ultimate Fishing Simulator (-45%). Toggle between the realistic mode for a slow-paced and contemplative experience or the normal mode that will always make sure you have a marine opponent coming up soon.

Lose your mind playing around with 800 bits and pieces in Plane Mechanic Simulator (-20%), a game that will test your ability to learn quickly about the mechanic powering warplanes of the Royal Air Force.

Discounts for newly released simulator games are valid until May 31, 1 PM UTC.

tinyE: I drive a car but I don't know how to build one.

Where does that put me?

dgnfly: I don't know if you've noticed but these days knowing how to build a Car isn't a thing anymore considering every Car is now reliant on their operating software. When I own something I sure as hell learn to maintain the damn thing.
yes many cars ( and soon every car) (will) require "software" which maybe positive but als very negative: hacking cars
will become very common.


Many people never knew how to build a car, but the majority does know how to fix simple things, exchange tires, and fix other minor technical problems, many car owners still don't, if i had a car i would only be able to drive it, not repair it, then again you cant be a master in everything, its good we have people who can do all kinds of different things.

Anyway its a simulator and simulators arent on my list, never wore , never will be, i want to be active in a game if i want to watch , i watch a dvd, or buy an aquarium and look at the fish, thats why i dont buy or like sims that require to build and then you start watching it.... thats not my way of gaming.

DadJoke007: Different strokes for different folks, no need to be an ass about people wanting to spend their money differently than you.
My comment was more a stab at GOG's curation while calling out people who would buy this garbage Considering a lot of users complain when people like me Want certain ''Niche games'' released that are actual games.

I have a cat, three dogs, three donkeys, and a rabbit, but I don't know how to build any of those either.

However I do know how to build a women, but I need to have a bra on my head to do it.

Well, my stepson and his friends definitely enjoy the "PC Building Simulator" on Steam...so, yeah - why not.

The "Ultimate Fishing Simulator"...considering what you need to do to be legally allowed to go fishing in Germany (and I'm not against the regulations per se - they definitely have their legitimacy), for some here this might be an interesting (and cheaper and easier) alternative to the real thing.

The "Plane Mechanic"...never heard of this before, but I know guys who absolutely enjoy the "Car Mechanic" on Steam - and this seems to be comparable.

None of these are my cup of tea, but I'm certain they'll find their audience here.

I agree, The electronic age brings with it many more dangerous problems but most likely those manufacturers want that so they can cash in on the unknowing people. It's not just hacking but also the monopolization of industry, Kinda like how Apple forces you to go through their official channel for fixes which makes it more expensive. I prefer the old style where you could actually build something from the ground up.


Actually, you can be a master in many things, it just depends on your ability to want and try, Problem is people are always too scared which is why it's best to try everything on old things. These simulators are just money wasters when you account that on hand action gives you more knowledge.

Yeah, none of those look "too niche" or "too small in scale in terms of production value" at all.

Seriously, what the actual fuck.

I'm not angry about those games being here, but it 's hard not to see it as a huge middle finger to all the devs that had their games rejected supposedly for those reason, and the useres here who wanted those games.

ReynardFox: ...Seriously?

So you'll sell a PC building simulator but not games from Cave or Taito?

I've really been trying to avoid the comparison game, but jeez, are we sure the curators aren't just monkeys throwing darts at a board at this point?
They are tha bomb or whatever it is called, personally i will never buy games like this, wast of my cash and time.
Steam is loaded with 'games' like this, i kinda expected the 'game' to arrive here some day :D i also expect more typica Steam games will arrive here . imho a 'wast' but its good that they arrive for all the ones that love 'games' like that.


Anyway , now to get some more good old games , real good old games: no default 3d shooters please, or other 3d stuff, just good old 2d games unless the 'well' has dried up, which would be sad, and good at the same time: this allows me to save all my cash to buy a new fast pc, on which i will play ................... , yes what would i play, many old stuff doesnt run on w10, so i be stuck wit an awfull w10 a pc thats manytimes faster and better then my current 'dinosaur',
Ah well watching benchmarks running on my 'monster' pc ( compared to the dino i have now) showin what it can do if i would play 3d games :D hahaha
Still it is sad, too many new meh games , only a few (new) good old games arrived (of whic the majority are 3d) so.... what is left: nothing : ⊙︿⊙

nice to read you believe we can master anything, which is true but you do need decent brains for that and to be honest , mine are 'deteriating' rapidly, it wasnt much to begin with at all, kindergarten already showed it was meh, then basic school 6 years, meh ( c or c - as average ( we call it a 6-) you cant call that a brain now can you? 2 times an 8+ ( behavior for being a nice good boy no big mouth , no swearing back then, but the grades for the other parts count , and 8x a 6= MEH in capital.
Schools afters that LBO ( meh): english was 8, dutch was 6- , rest were 6.5 again meh, MBO was a small nightmare 6- and the english was okay 7.5 , dutch was a 6- rest were 4 times a 6+ and again 2 times 8 because i was almost a 'choirboy' never messed up, never made a mess, but those 2 dont count the grades for ecomic and the rest count.
Anyway many people would not change places with me :D , after reaching 40+ things became tough... joints aching , muscles cramps... and that chances you into a grumpy gamer :D hahahaha ahwell nothing to do about it...

And that one is still in early access.

Even if some here don't want to believe it: these games have their fans in the world.

And isn't it nice, if fans of these simulations AND of DRM-free games can now kill two birds with one stone?

In many cases you can hack Skynet away via the OBDII port. Not as easy to maintain as in the past (and sometimes not nearly as fun), but can be done; hacking will become more popular with time, if it isn't already.
How about a Dungeon Crawler bobber Sim wherein you play games like Grimoir and Wizardry?

i'm glad you like the game, i'm not into sims, or games similar to it, i keep it simple and stupid:
700 casual games ( retail) and a total of >999 digital casual games

Anyway i expected GOG to get this game , i also think more like this will come, afteral look at the number of positive reviews, and those reviews count.

Als ik heel eerlijk moet zijn maakt I.Q tegenwoordig helemaal niets meer uit want als je naar de hoog opgeleide in Nederland kijkt dan zitten er nogal wat domme mensen aan het macht en dan niet te vergeten dat school tegenwoordig nog lagere standard heeft dan vroeger. ene is better in theory de ander in het uitvoeren maar je kan uiteindelijk alles leren en deze simulators gaan helemaal niets helpen. Raar genoeg waren mijn cijfers ook niet denderend maar toch kan ik goed leren zolang ik me er zelf maar voor inzet. Ben heel goed in politiek bijvoorbeeld maar de manier hoe ik woorden gebruik wordt nooit gewaardeert.

For anybody wondering what is written here, it's nothing related to store users or the game at the moment kinda like how he mentions his personal account.

I agree Programming has already become key for the future, so if you can't keep up with that you pretty fucked in the future when it comes to your own safety and private records. I don't get why the government, for instance, does things digital cause that would mean one person could access all data in one spot.
