Only just found out about this (as I haven't purchased the UFO games yet, but always thought I might one day), so finding out today via the "What Did Just Update?" thread came a little too late. Why not make these kinds of announcements more visible to all like what was done with GRID recently? :(

Oh well, let's hope you can get it back with its new rights holder. Wonder why the rights only changed for the one game?

At least, something is moving. I feared the serie was dead. I'd like a UFO:After-4, or a good remake of a UFO:After.

Here's a sensible idea - e-mail notifications for wish-listed games.

Afterlight was the only game of the series that was originally published by TopWare. According to the game page on Steam, the rights have been picked up by Bohemia Interactive.

Given that, I'd say the chances of seeing it return to GOG.com anytime soon are slim at best. Bohemia Interactive has a terrible reputation when it comes to respecting their customers. They're DRM fanatics who love having an iron grip over when, how, and for how long their customers are allowed to play their games. They seem very opposed to the idea of people actually owning copies of their games, and fittingly, they have completely retreated from GOG.com already quite some time ago. You currently can't get any BIS games here.

I am definitely not happy about this. I loved this series of games, and they were so true to the original style of X-COM.

I already own all three on original CDs from when they were released, but I downloaded 1 and 2 from GoG because I like the simple / clean package that GoG does... (they just "work").


I came into this forum specifically to ask why UFO 3 wasn't on here, and I guess now I know why...
