Sweet! I'll definitely be buying Populous. GOG has had some great weekend sales lately. I bought Lords of the Realm Gold last week and Syndicate a week before that.

At this rate I'll never need to buy a new game (or new PC) again.

@samstag: Yea, I bought the Lords of the Realm before the deal, it was one of my favorite games growing up. I will say that I could never get the multiplayer to work with LoTR 2 though...

I love GOG.com. No DRM, great selection, and fantastic customer service.

Dungeon Keeper and DK2 are my favorite mine/build/attack RTS games of all time. Funny, strange and challenging.

Another thumbs up for GOG. Great site.

Pfft...no 'Mail Order Monsters'. Now, THAT was a classic EA game.

These are great games to be sure, but EA is getting none of my money.

@malio: I don't actually think EA gets any of the money, they might make a few cents off the purchase, but that would largely depend on the deal GoG.com made with them when they licensed it.

I'm going to have to break my EA boycott for Populous. Used to play that game for hours. I'm noticing that more and more I go back to the "old" games, and only play the new ones once or twice.

@theselected: EA gets at least half the purchase price, possibly 70% or more.

I don't buy their new games lately, but I don't have any problem "voting
with my wallet" on GOG to let them know I'll pay for quality DRM-free games.

Actually, if the game is 5 years of more, they get about 15%, 10 years, and it drops to 1%. Most of the cost is done with shipping/support. Look at DMCA, the answer lies within...

@bruf man, my brother and i played mail order monsters so much when I was in grade school. I remember the constant running away trying to get to the edge of the map, only to run into those mushroom or city things and get all caught up. Fun game.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
