Are you Strogg enough to survive?


<span class="bold">Quake IV</span> is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 75% launch discount.
The fourth chapter in the legendary FPS series takes the fight to planet Stroggos, home of galaxy's ugliest cybernetic meanies. When things go sideways you must rely on your big guns, armored vehicles, and fellow marines to survive this desperate mission but nerves of steel might help, too.

Feeling nostalgic or just awfully trigger-happy? Check out our <span class="bold">Bethesda shooters</span> sale.
The 75% discount will last until August 28, 1 PM UTC.
What should I say, I don´t care.

I know it´s hard for the devs, but I think a payed key is batter than a illegal download.

So I spend my money to a keyshop and the devs will get some money, better than no money.

Otherwhise they will have lost a fan/user which maybe won´t buy any games in the future.

Like I did more often in the past, cause I have my principes. ;)

It's quite possible that they won't actually. Depends on how the keyshop obtains its keys.
The usual comparison for keyshops is the guy at the side of the road selling stuff from the trunk of his car. Yes, it is possible that he is actually selling stuff he owns, but it is also possible that he is selling stuff he shouldn't have, much less sell.
Also, considering that people people have been buying keys, selling them to a 2nd hand market, then getting the keys revoked (either through chargebacks or because they bought the key with a stolen card), a keyshop purchase may actually cause the devs to lose money, unlike an illegal download.

I am not going to tell you not to use keyshops, but before buying from one, ask them where they get their keys from. If the answer satisfies you, then feel free to continue buying from there. If the answer seems sketchy, then you may want to rethink continuing to use said shop.
does that game have ingame music? there is no ingame music in the gog version, is it the same shitty mess as with the other quake games?

Quake IV much like Doom 3 had ingame music stored in the pk4 files, so the music works.

Turbotobi: So when I pay with my creditcard here at GOG, they can be really shure, that I´m more then 18 years old.

JMich: What if your kid pays with your credit card? Is your kid over 18 years old or not? And how do you check that without checking an ID?
The kid's just committed fraud and that's nothing to do with the gamestore.

You can look at it from the customers point of view that the problem is devs trying to region lock and with faulty methods of payment allowing this.
