![]() ![]() The problem for many isn't really holding up any single game as examples of this or that. Eg, " where's the sales potential" in selling Morrowind for £14.99, whilst £9.50 gets you Morrowind and Oblivion and Skyrim combined in a sale elsewhere (or where the retail GOTY can be picked up for less than £5 on EBay)). And that's no different to dozens of other games GOG sells which are also generally cheaper elsewhere. If GOG acquired Betrayer for say £3.99 (Steam listed price), would I pay say £2-£2.67 in a 33-50% off sale despite it being previously listed for £1 (or "$0.25" using your maths) in a Humble Bundle? Yes I would. And the answer why GOG still sell them is the same - a lot of us are quite happy to pay a premium to own DRM-free games (vs merely acquiring an "open ended rental license" (Steam keys in a nutshell)). ![]() Include those and "why bother" selling Outlast, Steamworld Dig, Hammerwatch, Retro City Rampage, Never Alone, Hotline Miami, QUBE, Sir You Are Being Hunted, Goodbye Deponia, The Bard's Tale, Broken Sword Directors Cut, Pixel Piracy, Torchlight, To The Moon, Psychonauts, Amnesia Dark Descent, Mark Of The Ninja, Brutal Legend, Race The Sun, Dust An Elysian Tale, Fez, Bastion, FTL, VVVVVV, Beatbuddy, Samorost 2, Machinarium, World of Goo, Legend of Grimrock, The Swapper, etc, which have all been "bundled" for under $1 (and as little as $0.32 each using your "bundle maths"), yet are still priced on GOG at typically £4-7.ĭo we remove all these titles for the sake of consistency, or admit that rejection policy on the grounds of " but it's already less than $1 / €1 / £1 elsewhere" really isn't that consistent?. ![]() ![]() Or 99p Steam sale Thief Gold, Deus Ex, etc / 69p Steam sale Costume Quest, Syberia 1-2, System Shock 2, etc / 58p Steam sale Commandos Enemy Lines + expansion, etc. Eg, the cost of custom packaging and play-testing for $0 "Abandonware" freebies (Beneath A Steel Sky, FOTAQ, TeenAgent, etc). Just like GOG's £6.89 Penumbra Collection discounted by 75% means it'll cost me £1.72 to buy, and not "57p" if I only wanted one out of the three.Īnd whilst the bundling 'explanation' makes sense in general, you could equally apply the " it doesn't make sense for GOG to sell a game that's under $1 / £1 / €1 elsewhere" to an awful lot of stuff they do sell that fits exactly the same description. It doesn't mean you arbitrarily divide the price by the number of games and pretend that's the "real" individual price if you only want that one game because you simply can't buy Betrayer for $0.25. A bundle means games are only cheaper as a collective if you want all the other games and don't already own any of them. Embark on challenging quests, hire fiercely loyal warriors for protection and explore a long-lost world teeming with tantalizing secrets, hidden cities and legends of mythical creatures.RWarehall: GoG just isn't dumb enough to try to sell a game that if one waits 2 months you can buy it for $0.25 elsewhere.
