15% off racing titles at GOG
John B \| 1:15 PM on 02.13.2009	3 comments

Seeing as how the Dtoid staff don't consider this to be worthy enough to let everyone else know, I'll just do it here.

I got an e-mail today that GOG, our favorite inexpensive, DRM-free game company, is offering 15% off of five racing titles:
* 1nsane
* Colin McRae Rally 2005
* Flatout
* Screamer
* TOCA Race Driver 3

Some of them are $5.99, some are $9.99. Use the code "RACING15" to get the discount.

Even if you're not a huge fan of these games, they offer both Freespace and Freespace II, which I know are some prizes games for many of us, as well as the first two Fallout games. Because they're DRM-free ... well, I don't need to explain the benefits of that.

So, even if you don't like racing games hopefully they'll have something that you're interested in and you'll be willing to show your support. They don't have a lot, but I appreciate what they're doing so I bought a few games today. Hopefully, they'll be able to get more in the near future.

And, of course, they posted it to the front page shortly after I posted this.

*sigh* Oh, well. :)

It's okay! I would have put it up sooner but we're kind of short-handed today which means I had to prioritize.

That's okay. It's not the first time that news like this hasn't made it to the front, and the front page has been pretty busy today. So, I figured that there were other items more newsworthy.

No worries. :)

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

about me

As one of the oldest members of Dtoid, (I'll be 40 as of January 2010) I've been gaming since the Atari 2600 was a brand new item, and thousands of my teenage hours were dedicated to the Commodore 64 and the new 300-baud modems. (That's .00003 of a megabit per second, for those of you who only know broadband.)

I'm proud to say that I'm a member of the first-generation of gamers, and I still use my PC and each of the three current-gen consoles regularly -- and not for "casual" games. Bring on the Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age, and GTA4!!

So, I give a big PHUCK YOU!!! to anyone who thinks that video games are for kids! As far as I'm concerned, they haven't been for kids for over 20 years.

GAME ON!
