GOG.com is celebrating 6th birthday: different games up to 80% off each day!
For six years now, we’ve been building a library of great games of many genres, ages, and origins. One by one they were introduced to our catalog, publisher by publisher, developer by developer, series by series. We’ve started small, with just a couple dozen of games and a small crew of passionate gamers. Then we grew. Each year was exciting and brought excellent additions to our offer. This week, we’d like to go back to GOG.com history, taking you on a little trip down the memory lane. Each day we’ll be taking some of the games we’ve released in a given year of GOG’s existence, and offering them to you up to 80% off.
GOG.com’s fifth year (September 2012 – August 2013) marked our expansion to a whole new gaming platform. Mac gamers were initially presented with a selection of 50 titles, old and new, majority of which became available for Mac OS X for the very first time! Our support for Apple PCs came just in time for FTL: Faster Than Light the turn-based, hard-core, roguelike-like indie phenomenon of the year. Here’s a review from our user, Bryll:
It’s everyone’s dream (commanding a beat up space ship, keeping it running with a small crew as you schlep across the galaxy) and FTL gives it to you in a way no video game has done before. Instead of flying about with a joystick, in FTL you really do command the ship. Order your crew about, engage in combat, and make increasingly-tough decisions in a spectacular game that’ll make you want to come back again and again for more. If you aren’t on the edge of your seat within minutes (every time you play) then you’re probably playing a different game.
Along with FTL: Faster Than Light our fifth year brought us quite a selection of successful indies like Don’t Starve, or Hotline Miami. Oh, and we’ve made one of our own dreams come true, releasing System Shock 2. You can grab the games we mentioned – and many more – up to 80% off – from our 6th Birthday Promo page, today!
Today’s featured games will remain discounted until Saturday, September 13, at 9:59AM GMT, so don’t miss your chance! Come back tomorrow and continue the celebration, with a new set of memorable titles from yet another year with GOG.com! Finally, if you’re in the mood to reminisce, think about taking part in our GOG-Game Video Contest. Thanks for being with us!
