66% off Deus Ex, Omikron, Startopia, Thief, Tomb Raider, Legacy of Kain, Hitman and more!

It's literally a Weekend Promo². The Square Enix catalog features some of the greatest gaming classics in the history of ever, and we've got quite a few of them right here. This weekend we're featuring the entire Square Enix catalog of nearly thirty titles at 66% off - this promo wins <span class="bold">Fair &amp; Square</span>.

Deus Ex, every time you mention it, someone will reinstall it. Now that we've taken care of the formailities - with a huge library of mods and one of the most freeform stories in existence, this is a title that you just can't miss. Though a fair bit more controversial, much of the same can be said about the sequel, Deus Ex 2: Invisible War - a revolutionary cyberpunk experience awaits! We can't let Deus Ex steal all the thunder though, the Thief and Hitman trilogies are not just another set of classic - they're cult series that according to many still exemplify their own brand of stealth perfection. If you're done being sly and looking for a bit of action, you may be surprised to find just how well Lara Croft is aging in the Tomb Raider games.

As always, this is just the beginning - you'll find plenty more goodness in our weekend promo, <span class="bold">Fair &amp; Square</span>! It's 66% off the entire Square Enix catalog until Tuesday, July 10, 3:59 AM GMT.

SOLUTION TO THE RIDDLE

2-3 hours ago we posted a mysterious equation that hinted at what the promo will be:

2.71828n - i = x²

If you were one of the ones who tried to solve our hint but didn’t make it to the end, here’s how we came up with it.

We took the approximation of the mathematical constant known as [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant)]Euler’s number[/url] (and shortened to e) - hence 2.71828. That leaves us with a letter string of E N I X plus the power of two at the end (squared). From there, it's easy to see that the promo was to feature Square Enix games!

If you didn't Sherlock your way all the way to the end or if you find the explanation inferior to your brilliant sleuthing skills and came up with a much more creative one instead - don't worry, there will be plenty more occasions like this to come!

As I posted in the other thread, it would be nice if Square Enix released Deus Ex: Human Revolution here (original + TML rather than Director's Cut as the DC has a ton of issues). That would easily be an instabuy for me.

The 'puzzle' was more fun than the promo.

yep figured that out before I opened the comments. Was going to post the same. Guess this is gog's test to see if we are worthy or not to get the promo. Not a mistake oh no.

GOG should release more Square Enix gems from the past. I have pretty much everything from this promo already.

Nice sale but I wish we would get some new Square Enix releases instead.

Matruchus: Nice sale but I wish we would get some new Square Enix releases instead.
Would be nice. I have all except for 2 which I keep avoiding every time they have a sale of these games. I may not have much restraint with buying games on sale, but I have to stop myself sometimes and not buy what a definitely don't want.

Oh well cheap day for me then.

I already own all 'must-haves' on that list so likely I'll just grab one of the oldies released here in last few months.

Maybe Square Enix just doesn't want to give GOG any more games? Because they're douchebags?
edit: that sounded wrong. I meant because SE are douchebags, not GOG. lol!
