This weekend, we're celebrating the 11th anniversary of GOG.COM's launch. We've been preserving classic games for over a decade now, hand-picking unique modern indies, and sharing all of them DRM-free. Time flies, right?

There's no better way to celebrate this round-plus-one anniversary than with even more games! That's why, together with Anuman Interactive, we're bringing back the classic version of XIII! This unique shooter from 2003 will make you feel like you’re playing a living comic-book, as you chase a gang of conspirators that framed you for murdering the President of the United States. With David Duchovny as the voice of your protagonist, this is a game you simply cannot ignore.

That's not all, as more highly requested games join our DRM-free catalog today! Battle through an onslaught of monsters in DUSK (-25%) with its retro visuals, powerful guns, cross-play multiplayer, and the exclusive THE GOGATORIUM map for the endless mode. Platforming more your style? Explore a fantasy world and crawl through dungeons in procedurally-generated adventure platformer Chasm (-35%). Finally, take a trip to Mars to master your skills and discover the secrets of the Red Planet in two exciting RPG titles - Mars: War Logs (-75%) and The Technomancer (-65%).

We also asked the GOG.COM team what they've been playing recently and picked their brains to learn more about their favorite titles on the platform. Why? To bring back the classic tradition of GOG.COM Staff Picks and provide gamers with great deals on some of our most outstanding and memorable titles. Grab The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition (-70%), Pathfinder: Kingmaker (-50%), Kingdom Come: Deliverance (-50%), Dead Cells (-33%), Stardew Valley (-25%), Hollow Knight (-40%), Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Complete (-75%), Gothic (-75%), Dungeon Keeper 2 (-75%), The Mystery of the Druids (-75%), and many more up to -80%, all hand-picked by our staff!

Discounts for new releases are valid until October 10th, 1 PM UTC and the GOG.COM Staff Picks deals are available until October 7th, 1 PM UTC.

We would also love to know what some of your favorite games are! How many of them are already available on GOG.COM and which ones are you still waiting for?

TheBigCore: Regarding Portal, instead of being promised cake, how about some pasteis de belem instead?

Eh, let me try to do 11 of each then, so starting from the lists in the previous post adding 2 GOG games and trying to come up with 11 non-GOG ones, so adding 9 of those.

11 picks out of the GOG games I played:

Betrayal at Krondor
Deus Ex
Gothic
Gothic 2 [vanilla, NotR makes it too hard and I couldn't finish, nowhere near really]
King's Bounty: The Legend
Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven
Planescape: Torment [original]
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

Just below the line this time around: Quest for Glory 2: Trial By Fire

11 picks that should be on GOG [those not played are basically left on the list since I still tracked non-GOG games, haven't in several years]:

Drakensang: The River of Time + Phileasson's Secret [not played]
Siege of Avalon [not played]
StarCraft + Brood War
Stunts
Transport Tycoon Deluxe
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning [not played]
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim [full, may prefer Legendary Edition to Special Edition - not played]
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic [not played]
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow [not played]
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory [not played]
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist [not played]

Just below the line this time around: Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed

And to make it actually 11 added to the category on top of the 2 in the previous post, 2 freeware games I'd want to see added too:

The Spirit Engine 2
Supaplex

Again, ask me again and I'll likely pick others...

goral: Removing gogmixes because developers/publishers demanded it (they had no control over it and often a gogmix of the name "shitty game" was at the top next to the game which didn't stand well with them)

tfishell: Where did you learn this info? Links? Sounds like a rumor.
My gogmix was one of the first to be removed and it's been confirmed that Beamdog demanded it and GOG complied. I can't say for sure for the rest of GOGmixes but I'm pretty certain it's the same reason, publishers had no control over GOGmixes which resulted in lists that ridiculed some of the shittier games being on top. There were also lists like "SJW games to avoid" which don't stand well with potential investors I would imagine.

Gede: Portal!
Hey, you asked! Clearly you never read any of my letters to Santa!
Well...I *suppose* it's better than the pony you asked for last Christmas...

Wishmaster777: Liberals are boycotting Hatred on Gog. Here is the community wishlist spam they made .
The game should be boycotted, not because of politics but because it's terrible. The only reason that highly mediocre game got any attention at all in the first place was because of the outrage mobs.

It's kind of funny how the studio played their critics like a fiddle though.

I should still be able to play it/buy it, though, if only to spit in the face of the outrage mobs and others.

Live and let live is an unknown concept to self-righteous pseudo-intellectual moralists. Boycott for a game like this is nothing but infantile and childish attempt at virtue signalling.

Or some truly think such games and media will influence people and want it banned for those reasons. I don't know which is worse.

What are you guys trying to say here? Is "boycotting" one game because you thinks it's crap not the same as "I don't buy this game because I don't like it". How is that "boycotting" at all?

Are you really this naive or pretend not to understand it.
Boycotting the game to be released on a website is not the same as skipping to buy the available game for sale.
By boycotting the game to be brought on a retailer's website boycotters prevent people from buying the game, who originally had interest in buying the game.

You are missing to differentiate the two types of boycott:
1.) Boycotting the game to be brought on a retailer's website, which prevents everyone from buying it. People who are interested in buying the game have no chance to make the purchase.
2.) Boycotting the game which is available for sale, which doesn't prevent the interested customers from making a purchase.

And is DadJoke007 (the person you replied to), or any other person on this forum in a position to prevent a certain release on a certain website?
Sure, if someone in GOG's management were to talk about boycotting a game - then they're really saying Boycotting(!). But is that the case here?

Why is that boycotting? Sounds like "just not buying" to me.
