GOG's Interplay Bundle is Pay-What-You-Want
GOG's Interplay pack is pay-what-you-want... sort of.
GOG is taking a page out of Humble Indie Bundle's pay-what-you-want method for its Interplay pack. Old-school gamers looking to revisit the '90s can choose to pay what they want for access to old Interplay titles.
Though the Interplay pack is 32 games, those who choose to pay only a $1 will only have access to eight. Those who choose to pay above the average (which, at the time of this writing is $13.61) will receive an additional 12 games. Those who pay $34.99 will receive all 32 games. It's not a bad deal, considering the original pack is worth $191.68.
The tiered pricing is set out below:
Pay-what-you-want ($.99 minimum):
· Conquest of the New World
· M.A.X. + M.A.X. 2
· Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business

Vestin No! The slider is but ONE method of adjusting the price... CLICKING on the displayed price is another. You may as well get the first 8 games for a single cent... if you want to. Just click on the 0.99 and change it to 0.01 ;P.Reply -
frombehind they need to do this with modern titles... COD for 10 bucks - campaign only, 30 bucks MP only, 45 for both... and then maybe things like "triple exp foir a day" for 5 bucks, or wep attachemnt unlocks for 3 bucks, or weapon camo unlocks for 1 dollar.Reply -
jhansonxi Some of these have open-source engine clones and ports. These support multiple platforms and probably improve graphics and network support.Reply

myromance123 Too bad theres stlll no Linux support by GOG. Made a couple of purchases from them in the past, but stopped now that I use Ubuntu almost full time.Reply
Interesting though that the current way to sell games digitally is through sales. If the future keeps up like this, I'll be a happy gamer. -
QEFX Freespace + Expansion + Freespace 2 is worth 34.99 alone. Forget "game of the year" it's "game of the decade".Reply -
