The famous video game company from Vienna celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. This gives us a great opportunity to host a Special Sale dedicated to games published by THQ Nordic. Play titles like Desperados III (-60%), SpellForce 3 (-75%), and The Book of Unwritten Tales (-75%) before the sale ends on 15th November 2021, 2 PM UTC.

That’s not all! Until the THQ Nordic Special Sale’s end, you can claim your copy of Outcast 1.1 on GOG.COM. Tackle this exceptional waiting for its upcoming sequel.
Uhm, m`kay... two Nordic sales at the same time?
They both lead to the same THQ sale page.

Nope, just a separate post for it, they probably thought that it might get lost if just lumped with yesterday's weekly sale post.
No buy until THQ fixes all their issues here.
They like to post in their sales thread which inspires confidence that they are active or involved here but you could pull any of their games out of a hat and find issues.

Or they forgot that they already advertised the sale. Too much weed can have this effect!

What are you talking about exactly?
They are one of the few decent developers who actually care about this community and communicate with us.

Main game and DLC don't recognize each other: SpellForce 3 Series
Missing languages: AquaNox; AquaNox 2: Revelation; Chaser; SpellForce Platinum; The Book of Unwritten Tales; The Book of Unwritten Tales 2
Missing voiceovers: ArcaniA (supposedly they claim the ball's in GOG's court, since they provided the files)
Missing extras: The Book of Unwritten Tales, The Book of Unwritten Tales: Critter Chronicles; The Raven Remastered
Missing soundtrack: Codename Panzers Series (paid); Biomutant Soundtrack (WAV); Darksiders III - Digital Extras (lossless); Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition (paid and free); SpellForce 2 - Anniversary Edition (paid); Spellforce 2: Demons of the Past (paid); SpellForce 3 Series (FLAC, piano book); The Raven Remastered (paid)

I don't think the free Outcast was mentioned in the previous news so maybe that's why they did another one.
Two announcements for the THQ Nordic sale. Announcements for major updates to in-dev games, which are expected to have regular major updates. And yet, no announcement for Wasteland 3 Colorado Edition + repricing + new DLC, or the major Solasta update + new DLC. Whatever.

Just to say "hi" and "buy our stuff" and never to reply. AKA a drive-by PR stunt.

All right, now I get it, most of these are valid reasons, especially the missing patches and DLC not recognizing the main game.

Buying in GOG has become a monumental research duty:
Thank you Swissy88 & Cavalary for bringing this info to the community!
Let's see if there is any positive reaction

This.
I guess Desperados 3 is still lacking the Linux build that is sold through Steam?
It will have to get much cheaper than that before I consider buying a Windows-only build from GOG…

And at least in my region they are the publisher with the highest regional pricing of a game, almost 100% on top of the US price.

THQ Nordic have been my favorite publisher on GOG for a long time and I already own a lot of their games. But now they are more on my blacklist because of the regional pricing and the game issues Cavalary already has mentioned.
