What a brilliant stunt this is. I only heard about Dungeon Keeper in the backlash to what EA is doing, now I am curiuos and GOG comes in to scoop up some good will. Nice.
- Karunamon 13y agoLooks like EA is directly involved in this[1]. A less charitable person would say it's their attempt to save face after their gaming media drubbing over their money-sink mobile version.

- logfromblammo 13y agoI seriously doubt it. I am having difficulty imagining EA giving away anything for free and without DRM.
- Karunamon 13y agoWell the alternative is that GOG is lying, since one of their verified employees said this in the linked thread.
- logfromblammo 13y agoGiven my biased and prejudicial opinion of EA, I haven't ruled that out as a possibility. On the other hand, EA is very large, so I also cannot rule out the possibility that its left hand is facepalming even while its right hand is giving all gamers everywhere the longest, fattest middle finger yet seen in the world of microtransaction-driven gaming.
- MartinCron 13y agoEven the less charitable interpretation is pretty cool. EA taking steps to repair their image is a lot better than EA just being EA
- LeoNatan25 13y agoAnd a more cynical person would say this is EA's ironic way of showing how much they care about classic PC gaming in light of their sleazy ways on mobile and modern PC and console gaming.
