The big annual event starts on 18th August yet we on GOG start the celebrations of QuakeCon early this year. To help you get into the mood, we’ve prepared a Special Sale that includes great games from Bethesda up to 80% off and lasts until 22nd August, 5 PM UTC.

It's sad how GOG keeps on promoting the same publihsers treating them like dirt.

It's like those abusive relationships...

Gonna have to introduce something new to entice me. Already have all the id/Bethesda stuff here.

Why's Wolf3D not on sale?

ciemnogrodzianin: PS. They've changed base prices for Doom series:
• Doom 3: BFG Edition – from $19.99 to $9.99 (-50%)
• DOOM II + Final DOOM – from $9.99 to $4.99 (-50%)
I remember when Quake 3 and Team Arena were $19.99 each on Steam. Good times....

Alexim: We need at the very least Quake Enhanced Edition and Doom 3 included with the BFG Edition as on Steam, after which some new release if they want to make money from it, otherwise Bethesda knows where it can shove its QuakeCon.
Spoiler Alert: It's not gonna happen.

I was just going to post the same thing. It's baffling, really.

Zoidberg: No GOG Connect? No more money. ;)
Connect wasn't earning them enough money to make giving free copies away worthwhile. People were just taking free copies because they were free. Threatening to not spend money here because GOG doesn't want to continue to waste money on leeches isn't much of a threat.

For some reasons Wolfenstein 3d has full price...

latest year if i remember was Quake1... (on steam at least, i don't remember about gog)

edit: don't wait any type of remaster, nothing will happen...

tfishell: Oh hey, nice that Doom 3 BFG dropped in price. But why is it so hard to get Doom 3 original here when it is now bundled with BFG on Steam? Hmmm
I was thinking the same. Not only the Doom 3 original, also his expansion is included on steam at the same price! I would buy here now but only if they include the missing files. Times of 2nd class citizen pass away.

Connect provided only "free" games that you have already paid for. We get freebies from gog sales though.
Since connect is pretty much dead, they should really just remove it from the site and unlink steam accounts. Unless it is somehow profitable for them to keep it linked years after its last active session.

Yeah I'm not buying Doom 3 anywhere online until Doom 3 + RoE original appears here. Of all the places, the site formally known as "Good Old Games" is missing the good old version.

Somehow we got Doom 64 here recently which is great, but I want to buy the above here.

Still waiting on the Quake re-release from a year ago... disappointing that it never showed up here.

Naturally, the Rage games, Doom 2016, and Doom Eternal would be amazing to see... hard to get excited about the same games being peddled year after year when the really exciting stuff just never seems to make the leap over.

action_fan: Do you mean "Fallout 76"? As far as I know, Fallout 4 had its last official DLC a long time ago and has no multiplayer components, so it would be ported to GOG without big efforts, I guess.

Anime-BlackWolf: Nope. "Fallout 4" had the Creator's Club DLC Store put into the game, which is ALL PAID DLC. So no chance of that one coming here... Same with "Skyrim".
no, those are paid mods, not DLC's,

The last DLC for Skyrim was Dragonborn, released 2012.
The last DLC for Fallout 4 was Nuka World, released 2016.

There are special versions for Skyrim, but the last one was Skyrim: Special Edition, released 2016.

Yes, the creation club is probably the reason why neither game will get here, but do not confuse the mods on creation club with DLC's.

It's hard to be excited for QuakeCon when there's nothing new. Doom 2016 is already over 8 years old at this point.

There's also Skyrim: Anniversary Edition also which has a bunch of Paid Mods in there bundled w/ it too.

If Skyrim: AE & FO4: GOTY are coming to GOG - they'd need to get rid of the Bethesda.Net stuff and in-game store that they both have.

They also should add Galaxy support for Achievements & Cloud Saves too, if it hits GOG.

That probably ain't coming to GOG anytime soon either - as all of those would need to get their Bethesda.Net stuff removed from GOG version; and also they (Bethesda) should add Galaxy support for Cloud Saves & Achievements to those too.

Exactly why I think more games should build Achievements for offline directly into the game w/ offline profiles, if worst comes to worst - so Achievement fans can Achieve stuff while offline.

Achievements to Online services like Steamworks and Galaxy are "Soft" types of DRM.

Doom 64 on Steam has their EXE unprotected, so that EXE is actually DRM-FREE there - so that probably wasn't hard to port to GOG.

SCAgent: Great game! That intro with "dont fear the reaper" is still one of the best intros to a game ever.
I'm no expert on the matter, but I think the problem lies just there: licensed music. That song and the ones in the juke-box. Perhaps it can be hoped that someday a new edition of the game will be prepared for re-release, with the songs removed or replaced with non-licensed ones. In my opinion, it would be an acceptable compromise, since that music does not play an active role in the game, apart from enhancing immersion (important though that is). Anyway, the game is great and surely deserves to be on GOG.
