Same old...

Edit:
Question to people who know:

So far, I haven't purchased neither "TES V: Skyrim - Special Edition" nor "TES V: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition" here on GOG.

It's the only Bethesda game which I haven't bought here yet, and that I have any interest in.

Now, I can see on the game's page of both versions, that there exists a free total conversion mod named "Enderal: Forgotten Stories".

However, if I put the mod in the cart and head over to the checkout, there is a message saying:

"Please note that you are required to own The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition on GOG.com to be able to purchase and play Enderal: Forgotten Stories."

So: do I understand this right, that I can't "buy"/claim that free mod, if I should decide to go with the "Anniversary Edition", instead of the "Special Edition"?

Or is this just one of GOG's usual hiccups, and they simply forgot to add the other edition as an equal requirement to claim the mod?

So, would the correct text need to read:
"Please note that you are required to own The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition or The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition on GOG.com to be able to purchase and play Enderal: Forgotten Stories."?

Thanks in advance!

Well, I am glad Skyrim and Fallout 4 had joined the ranks, but I would expect some new addition to the catalogue - you know, like Prey (2006), Doom (2016), any old or new game...

You can`t talk about Microsoft in third person, They feel it for a purpose.

Hi Bethesda! We Dance!

Guys, we just got Fallout 4 recently. I think they earned a sale or two without the "no new games" complaint.

Psh! If there is any good time to complain it is now. Now and forever! ;)

Agreed, basically

Agreed.

I'm only missing Doom 2016 and Eternal at this point, but those will probably get released here sooner or later. I can wait.

While you have Bethesda’s attention, could they take a peek at Raven’s archives for the Hexen II Portals expansion?

GOG, What in the heck!?!?

I just went to buy Call of Cthulhu and...

... it's no longer on sale!?!?! What the heck!?!?

I looked it up this morning and it was on the Bethesda Sale page at $6... now it's not there...

... but...

... it still shows in the "from your wishlist" list at the top of the sale page for full price!!!

I really HATE THIS GOG!!! I'm tired of these things happening almost all the time!

GET YOUR %#^&@ TOGETHER!

(and yes, I may just go to Steam and make some purhcases -- ones I'd decided to forego to do business with you. every time I start trusting you to get your act together...)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I assume you wanted to buy the 2018 game. It was a mistake; they put the wrong CoC on sale. This is the one that they meant to put on sale and is now on sale: https://www.gog.com/en/game/call_of_cthulhu_dark_corners_of_the_earth

They actually DID get their "%#^&@" together.

Call of Cthulhu (2018) should not have been discounted in the first place. It has nothing to do with Bethesda. It's developed by Cyanide Studios and published by Focus Entertainment.

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is published by Bethesda and is now correctly discounted.

They did not.

I was alerted to the sale early this morning by a third party price monitor that said Call of Cthulhu (2018) was on sale.

I visited the GOG site and saw the game Call of Cthulhu (2018) was on sale for around $6 as stated in the email.

I then received an official GOG email showing Call of Cthulhu (2018) on sale.

I then visited the GOG site to purchase the game and found...

... the game was listed in the sale "from your wishlist" header as on discount, but it was no longer on discount in the sale. In fact Call of Cthulhu (2018) is STILL listed in the sale's "from your wishlist" header (obviously if you have the game on your personal wishlist).

You see this as a problem that GOG found -- that the game was published by Focus and not Bethesda -- and corrected. But I see it as a string of problems on GOG's end that...

... has become COMMONPLACE to GOG sales.

In fact, I have now been in a handful of Support conversations on GOG pricing issues, games leaving sales without warning, games with incorrect prices, etc.... and this kind of thing is getting worse, not better. I wouldn't mind (as much) if this rarely happened -- or if game sales was secondary to GOG's main business -- but game sales is GOG's business and this kind of issue is happening more-and-more often.

GOG just started to show some positives moves in acquisitions, but they need desperately to spend some money and time to vet sale games and find these issues BEFORE the sales go live.

If I bought games from a brick-and-mortar and had similar issues as often as GOG, I'd never do business with them again. GOG's lucky most of the PC game world has gone digital. C'mon GOG!

Do you guys really think GOG doesn't wanna sell Prey (2006), Doom 2016, or old Terminator games to boost their own revenues? It's ultimately Bethesda/Xbox/Microsoft's call on whether to release here or not, blame them.

GOG's just making obligatory sales announcements to keep their head above water. There should be no surprises here after they got Skyrim and Fallout 4 earlier this year.

Like Namur said, Anniversary is a DLC. I have the Anniversary Edition and in my library I see the Special Edition with a separate installer for the Anniversary DLC.
It feels like Bethesda often waits for the popularity (or sales?) of a title to decline to a certain point before releasing it here. Skyrim (2011) remained popular for longer than Fallout 4 (2015) yet both released here around the same time. Prey (2017) released in May 2020, but that title never reached the heights of Skyrim or Fallout 4 in terms of popularity.

Some internal politics may also be at play. After the release of the PC port of Doom 64 (2020) Bethesda wanted to end their partnership with Nightdive Studios. In 2022 Nightdive got to work on Doom 64 again, patching the biggest issues. A few months later, Doom 64 dropped on GOG. Coincidence? Who knows.
