More discounts!

As of today also games from Bethesda Softworks are joining the Winter Sale on GOG.COM. Here are some notable examples:

Doom II + Final Doom (-70%) is a set of two cult first-person shooters that defined the whole genre. Defeat swarms of monsters using an arsenal of weapons and your reflexes.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Game of the Year Edition Deluxe (-70%) is an epic RPG title that introduced to us a truly vast fantasy world, filled with adventures and possibilities.

Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition (-70%) is yet another RPG, this time set in a post-apocalyptic world where every gamer’s decision can become a matter of life and death.

Discounts on Bethesda titles, as well as the rest of the Winter Sale, will end on 2nd January 2020, at 2 PM UTC.

xyz123: Actually no game added since the last Bethsoft sale.
How about offering Skyrim, Fallout 4 and Prey?

Is the conventional sale still making more money than if these would be sold here?
Maybe many won't follow suit but I'd actually buy each for 40 € here on GOG...

Tauto: They would probably offer Oldrim in 2025.
I was looking for what OLDRIM is... I found How to get OLDRIM and its DLCs
>>> citation from the steamcommunity website >>>
"The reasons why OLDRIM was deleted is that Bethesda needed money and so they released a lot of useless editions of Skyrim, but OLDRIM remains the best because you can run it on almost any PC and the modding community is much more present."
<<<

That sounds like the won't offer OLDRIM anytime, never.
Now still what does OLDRIM (the letters) stand for?
BTW: " they released a lot of useless editions" WTF?

As I have seen the Bethesda game's offer for 1 year, it seems pretty poor.
They could really add some recently released video games like:
Wolfenstein: The New Order,
Wolfenstein: The Old Blood,
The one Wolfenstein game from 2009,
Or unique Raven products like Mageslayer, Necrodome, Heretic and Hexen games.

They have milked the game and at au$29.95. Did I say 2025, let me adjust that a bit 2050 is a more likely date. Oldrim, stands for....I have no idea (maybe something silly, because it's old). And as long as they keep making money on it, then it will never become DRM free for Gog.

I used to respond to these sales listings by trolling Bethesda about their unwillingness to put anything made after 2010 on here, but at this point I've honestly mostly forgotten that they even exist. Don't get me wrong, it's great that they put some DRM free stuff up and I certainly partook of their offer at the time, but most of their RPG lineup has aged poorly due to all of the really fantastic open-world games that have come from other companies with comparable world-building talent but better storytelling ability. If Skyrim or Fallout 4 ever shows up here I might buy it for 10 or 15 bucks, but it'd probably just get me interested in another KC:D playthrough.

GameRager: I was about to have a heart attack(figuratively) when I saw those prices, as I almost thought they were in US dollars.

I am guessing that is a lot of money where you are from or incomes are lower on average(I ask as over here one can make enough to buy all those games in around 2 hours(or less) of work at minimum wage)? If so then I feel for ya.

As for future sales...those(sadly) might be the best prices one can get for some games here(usually holiday sales are around the lowest for many games, but sometimes a game will get a lower price later on...though that is more rare).
It's not a lot of money (couple of movie tickets), but i already own those games in their original releases. I wouldn't mind having easy acess to them in GOG, but there's no need to rush.

If the prices were just bit higher than Steam on this particular sale, i wouldn't even be talking about it. But having such a difference between stores, almost three times more, shows how Bethesda doesn't care about DRM-Free. No wonder people on this topic are complaining about them not making their recent games available here.

At one point Beth re-released Skyrim with an overhauled 64bit engine and (AFAIK) stopped selling the original version. All mods released so far (also AFAIK) which where a massive amount where incompatible with the new version. My guess: Oldrim stands for the 32bit version. Unless its something like that Oldblivion mod (? re-engineering?) which made it (Oblivion that is) possible to play it on systems far below the minimum specs.

... and now I realize I know far to much crap about a company and games I never even played from said company because they cling to a useless outdated customer unfriendly online DRM system.

Suck to be me for having been a Bethesda fan once. :/
