Actually, when it comes for bigger publishers, Microsoft is one of the best options. Microsoft gives its studios a lot of freedom. Something we can’t tell about EA for example. After the Deadfire flop Obsidian was in financial trouble. If it wasn’t for Microsoft, the studio could go bankrupt.

I don't think so.
I can see Microsoft demanding that no more Bethesda and/ or Obsidian games get released for anything besides the XBox or Windows, they've done so with other acquisitions. I prefer publishers that don't pull shit like that. In my book Microsoft is is just as bad as EA or Ubisoft.

If not for Microsoft, somebody else would've bought Obsidian. They're a highly competent team.

Decent prices on this sale, but come on! Bring Skyrim, Rage, and Doom 2016 already!

And how is Doom 64 still not here?

When even a cheapskate like me would buy these games day 1 (on GOG), I'm certain countless other people would be buying and double dipping on them. $$$$

I don't think we will see any new game anymore here from Bethesda since Microsoft bought them (or their parent Zenimax). The same case is with EA and Ubisoft.

But I am open for surprises.

I'll pass once again. I was up to buy Quake: the Offering, but only 50% discount, seriously? Meanwhile, the rest of the franchise available at a price lower by 70%. This is screwed up. Maybe during this year's QuakeCon the price will be more attractive.

I wasn't talking about publishing games on other platforms than Xbox. I was referring to the freedom of expression under Microsoft wings. There are really worse options. When it comes to publishing games outside of Microsoft Store you're also not accurate enough. There are some games that will be released on Steam despite the fact that their publisher is Microsoft (Forza Horizon 5, Age of Empires IV, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition). I can agree however that after the acquisition of Obsidian there are smaller chances that their games will be released on GOG in the future. That's the biggest downside.

This is probably due to the fact that the game celebrates 25th anniversary this year. It was loud about it in the last month. :)

Yes I heard of that. So they are literally milking the cash cow in the moment;)

Don't be just tricked by discount percentages, they have also raised the base prices.

Thanks for highlighting this.

Feel free to release Skyrim: Legendary Edition, please and thank you.

Ditto here. Have plenty of these games on Steam.
Today I just bought again Fallout 3 from GOG as I am also aiming to get these DRM free.
The classic Fallout Games are DRM free on Steam as well I know, recently copied the game's directory and built an installer to have it archived on an HDD for practical use if I need in the future.

Its a pity to have to rebuy these games again, but hey Its also a way to support the developers and CD Project so I am in. I work as a Support Engineer for a Big IT company so I appreciate the work done here by CD project. No matter what I will always support them for this initiative. DRM Free + the possibility to archive my games and keep them forever.

Hope that the Fallout Games are not de-listed anytime soon. I am so glad I bought the Syndicate games in the past too.

Kudos to CD project and this awesome community I am proud to have become a part of.
