Another big sale there this weekend.
Old school games.
Crusader was the shit. First game I ever had to patch, and the company actually sent me the patch on a 3.5" floppy.

Has anyone used the "Good Old Games" site?
There's some stuff no longer available on Steam because Atari and Valve aren't getting along, but the games are available on GOG. BUT.... does GOG have the "invite/join" player function like Steam does, or would I have to work out archaic multiplayer settings with servers that may not even exist anymore?

I know there's a thread for it already.
I don't think they have the gaming services you're looking for...?
What game are you trying to get?

Looking to play NWN with my kid, but Steam no longer sells it. Same with NWN2.
gog support says multi still works, the permanent matching servers no longer exist but one can still "Direct Connect" in the game. It doesn't say if that is stable, though, using one of the clients as a host. I guess I need to buy two copies and roll the dice.

Looks like I can run a dedicated server though.

Might want to google that game. Somebody is doing something with it. I know I've read articles about it.
As far as Atari, I think I saw something about them going all mobile. So they may be out of the PC/console business.

DLing GOG Galaxy now.
"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."
Yeah, this is barely beta.
Things that worked:
- Installed client
- Browsed the store
- Purchased a game with my paypal account (got paypal confirmation that correct amount was charged)
- Game appeared in my library. I was able to launch the download
Things that are weird/don't work:
- Installed GOG Galaxy on my kid's computer... it required a restart. Mine didn't. Same OS.
- I am unable to add his account to my friend list. "You have no friends in your list. Hover over any avatar in the STORE/FORUM/COMMUNITY section and select 'Add to friend list.'" I can't just type in his account name and add him, and obviously he has no posts on the forum. This is hella stupid.
- There's no pause button on this 4GB game download.
Fake edit - In researching these issues, I see there is a "vote on which shit gets fixed first" button. The top two items are the friend list, and the pause button.
