The course of the future is in your hands. You are JC Denton, the last hope of humanity as it spirals into chaos.

Experience the opportunity to be a futuristic freedom fighter in Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition, here on GOG.com, for just $9.99!

Deus Ex is without a doubt one of the best, most influential games in history. PC Gamer and PC Zone both have named it the best PC game of all time. It has received countless numbers of “Best”, “Greatest” and “Top” game awards. The story of JC Denton is a perfect fusion of RPG, FPS, and adventure. The world of Deus Ex is immense, the storyline is ambitious and layered, and the freedom of choice guarantees high replayability.

Ancient conspiracies, secret agendas, political intrigues, twisted plots, nanotech-augmentations, difficult moral choices, twenty-four weapons, intense action, deep character customization - it’s all here and it truly combines into a cohesive whole. The depth of the in-game experience and interaction will engage you on a level unparalleled by any other game.

Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition is as close as you can get to the real year 2052 without growing really, really old for $9.99.

Leroux: I didn't read most of this thread, so if this has been discussed before, I apologise. But having serious trouble to get GOG's XIII to run smoothly on my Vista desktop PC, I read that games based on the Unreal engine are notorious for their poor compatibility and glitchy performance on newer systems. In case I decide to buy Deus Ex, would I have to expect similar issues to the ones my rig has with XIII?
I'm using a cd version of Deus Ex on Win 7 64 bit without issues.

I'm not so happy with last releases - and prefer Magic Carpet 2. Because Deus Ex is Great game of cause - but I have 4 license already - one original, second and third was bundled with videocards 4th was got as gift for sequel preorder. And this game is selling over all shops - on GOG I prefer games, that couldn't be purchased anywhere else.

spindown: Yes, the EULA kind of sucks, but I'm quite sure they are not actually tracking GOG users. The EULA is just copied & pasted from their modern games, which do track user behavior. They have no interest in knowing how you play a twelve-year old game.

My firewall alerts me anytime a program tries to connect to the internet, and no GOG game has ever attempted to phone home. That includes the EA games, which contain a similar section in their EULA.

Fred_DM: this. it's a company EULA, not game-specific. hell, the EA EULA talks about Origin, that tells you how unrelated to the games on GoG the EULAs are.

just click it and forget it. it's what the rest of us have been doing for the past 20 years. old news are old.
I would love to be the bank when you came in for a loan. "Here, just sign this, don't bother with what it means." I'm guessing you are a supporter of SOPA and their equivalents because they would never do anything bad with it. Honest, they even promised it would only be used on the 'bad guys' and it has never been used incorrectly so far.

In any case, this file is specific to Deux Ex. Both the title and the url are unique to that game. That GoG needed to boiler plate the license to be able to offer the game and/or the competence of the person that made the license is irrelevant. This is what you agree to and it only applies to this game. GoG is turning into Steam without the client.

But then again, if they aren't going to do it, why do they need my permission in the first place? By reading to this message, you agree to send me, at your expense, your first born child once per week to perform landscaping duties in the yard of my choice. But don't worry, I won't ever really make you send your kid to mow the lawn/shovel the snow, I promise. Now just click here.

I'm sure it will be fine, they would never do the thing that I agree to let them do. Nothing bad could ever happen by allowing them to do it. It will be fine. Don't worry, be happy. I've been doing this for a long time and I know what I'm doing.

Asbeau: It's news to me. Do all GOG games 'call home'?
avatar
Kuchenschlachter: not sure, but i don't think so.

i'm in two minds about software "calling home" as it's no problem to prevent that. but of course that's no reason to try it without "asking for permission"(including it into the eula isn't the same as asking).
i like the approach of vlc best, they ask while installation if it's ok to "call home". with a nice statement saying they're doing that because they self hate it if every little programm trys connecting to the internet.
What does "Call home" mean? Apart from the obvious

A good laugh courtesy of a paranoid user before I got to bed. Thankyou very much.

Playing this at the moment on steam, loved every minute of it so far.

I would have waited for the GOG version but I wasn't sure when it was coming... :(
