They gave away presents (a GOG t-shirt and a cardboard shield) to the 50 users with the largest GOG libraries. And they announced the TW3 Expansion Pass.

I gave away my shirt in a GOG giveaway, which was won by tfishell (or actually, IIRC, by HereForTheBeer on behalf of tfishell).

Ah, right, I remember that. I was looking too focused for any kind of sale to celebrate the event.

Yeah...around these parts, not a hard guess to make. =D

Really? :( I bought it here specifically to have the soundtrack with it. :( I suppose there's no way to get the original one back now?

Probably not from GOG -- unless you bought it within a short time after release, downloaded the installer in question right away, and kept a backup of that early version, you'll probably have to track down a CD copy, or get it through other means. (For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure the CD-ROM shareware version of Quake includes all the music from the full version of the game, so if all you want is the music to listen to, that should work just as well as anything -- though I have no idea if it's as easy to find as a lot of other shareware titles from that era.)

The voices in your head demand answers! Genius answers!

Seriously though, what the hell are you talking about dude? I actually read that entire post and I'm almost certain that I'm now dumber having read it.

Oh sorry, I mixed the prices, thought it was the other way around. :P

Damn, that shit is so annoying... pricing is really obscure here on gog... :/

hmm, seems like a waste of store space ... if every game here were to release 4 (oh wait 3 ;) worthless costume DLCs we'd have another ~4500 "games" in the shop now :D and ~1500 news items ;)

Soo, any chance gog could bundle these up into one item to save space? And maybe hide it for germans, that way at least one good thing would come from this censorship. ;)

Good thing there's not a limit on space then, huh? I'd much rather have separate DLC items sold separately than have them forced into a bundle just to "save space".

well, each to their own. But I like being able to actually click through each page of what gog offers which won't be reasonably possible anymore if we get spammed by dlc like those.
And I figure if someone likes stuff like this then they'd probably buy them all anyway...

Adding an option to filter out DLC when browsing the store would be a good solution, I think.

Bit off-topic but something that did not get a news item but was released on the same day as these dlc:

Kerbal Space Program

Patch 1.1 (20th April 2016)

For the full list of changes, please visit: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/137335-the-grand-ksp-11-discussion-thread/

Hello everyone!

Kerbal Space Program is “Turbo Charged” by the release of patch 1.1!

After almost a year of hard work our major update is finally here! In the package you’ll find a large boost in performance due to the upgrade to the Unity 5 game engine, 64 bit binaries for Windows and OSX that will help you mod the game to ridiculous lengths and the brand new KSPedia reference guide for all the information you need to play the game!

That’s not all though, here are some of the highlights for this patch:

All new user interface

The user interface has been rewritten from the ground up to take full advantage of Unity 5’s new integrated systems. The ‘parallel’ UI systems have been removed and the game now uses only one system, adding to the performance bonus the update already brings. Almost all interface elements have been redesigned and tweaked but have retained the familiar feel for experienced players. The most notable tweaks can be found in the map view, staging, IVA portraits and the right-click part menus.

KSPedia

KSPedia will be the primary source for information on just about anything in the game. New players will find the basics of building and flying explained here, and more experienced players can take in information about more advanced concepts such as docking, in-situ resource utilisation and all the information they need to plan a successful mission to the next planet or moon.
New tutorials and scenarios

The tutorials have been extended and reworked from the ground up. The new tutorials will cover topics ranging from basic and advanced construction and flight, to docking and landing on Mun. Learn how to execute the perfect gravity turn, orbit Kerbin and land the Eagle. New scenarios unlock advanced mission concepts to any player: use a spaceplane to re-enter the atmosphere and land it back on the runway at the Kerbal Space Center, return a craft without heat shield from Duna, or beat SpaceX at their own game by flying back the first stage of a rocket to the launch pad.

(haven't tried it myself but sounds a bit more news worthy than the costume dlcs to me...)

I don't mind that they sell such crappy cosmetic DLCs here (that's probably the price when they want to have AAA games in their store). But I'm a little angry that they make a big newspost about such worthless content while other developers that add similar and even better stuff for free don't get that kind of attention in most cases.

The simple reason for this is that DLC counts as a new release for the store, whereas free updates do not. GOG has done news posts for major free updates before (less than a week ago they made one for Thea: The Awakening) but they have to draw the line somewhere.

Garbage skins and weapons are the opposite of what I'd like to see on a site called Good Old Games. Best change your name to Today's Overpriced Shit.
