GOG.com is extremely happy to tell you that while the <span class="bold">very successful "Battle of the Games"</span> has ended, our plans for an exciting summer have only just begun. Following the 66% off Alan Wake series promo, which will be over in two hours, we have prepared something indie fans will love. [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/release_promo_indie_drop]<span class="bold">Today, we&rsquo;re dropping four releases and dropping their prices a neat 50%.</span>

For the next 7 days, four great indie titles: Gemini Rue, DEFCON, Multiwinia, and Uplink are available 50% off. Gemini Rue is a tense, surprising, and challenging sci-fi point-and-click from the publishers of Resonance and the Blackwell Bundle. is a Global Thermonuclear War Simulation in which you prepare your military forces, and nuclear silos, make or break alliances with other superpowers, and finally, fire zee missiles! [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/multiwinia]Multiwinia is the multiplayer-focused (but not multiplayer-only) sequel to Darwinia, a fantastic RTS with simple game mechanics, but great strategic depth. Uplink is a hacker simulator--not your typical game, but strangely entertaining and believable.

Visit the Summer Indie Drop promo page to get DEFCON, Uplink, Gemini Rue, and Multiwinia for 50% off until Thursday, July 19 at 04:59 AM EDT.

Oh...
yeah, nothing special here and do have them all on Steam and DRM Free from Bundles. Thanks, but no thanks.
At least GOG is speeding up their indie backlog.

Yet, I am utterly underwhelmed and considering the time still hoping for a proper release.
hope we had enough of these new indie games released to bring some classics again.
The Gemini Rue soundtrack alone is definitely worth $5 to me, but then I remembered I have that already from some bundle or another, too. Oh, well.
I think it's great to have this games available DRM free any time, here on GOG, just becaus they were released in bundle doesn't mean we have to be ungrateful

"Grateful"?

You really need to re-evaluate that company - consumer relation ...
Release promos are cool. Gemini Rue looks good.
These games were all in bundles recently so most of us probably already have them, but for everyone who doesn't I strongly recommend every game in this promotion. I especially enjoyed Uplink.
GOG is really trying hard to push indie on this site. Thing is they've been in plenty of bundles already and I'm still only using GOG for old games until they come up with a better shelf or the option of a seperate one. I don't want indie mixed in with my other stuff. That said, even if I was going to buy indie on here.... I have all the ones on offer already.

Dunno, call me mental, but I think I would actually be grateful if GOG managed to re-release Blood Omen or System Shock or similar, just not for Uplink, Defcon and Multiwinia. ;)
Just because these were in bundles there is no reason for GOG not to expand it's catalog with them. And releasing all at the same time with a discount seems like best way to do it.
oh man. i already have the 2 games that interest me. bought one on Steam and the other in an indie bundle.

i hope we still get a "proper" release at the usual time today...

My point exactly, thank you :)
