Brawn, brains, persistent blood stains.



<span class="bold">Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition</span>, the definitive package for the open-world, free-running zombie survival sensation, is now available DRM-free on GOG.com with GOG Galaxy support for multiplayer, achievements and leaderboards, and a 17% launch discount.


As the light is dying, so are your chances of survival. A mysterious outbreak has turned a city's population into running, flesh-eating killers who grow severely more aggressive at night. You are also turned into a runner when your mission to retrieve some sensitive documents from the hopelessly infested city of Harran goes awry. Some people speak of a cure, some worship an aloof, self-proclaimed savior, and others fight each other for supplies or territory control. But all of them have one thing in common: they are constantly on the run.

Master the flow of your swift parkour moves and your weapon-wielding skills in order to stay alive. During the day the infected are less energetic, relying on their numbers to gang-up on you before you can scale the nearby building, overrun them with a buggy, or club them to death with your makeshift destructible weapons. But when darkness falls, the tables are turned: your enemies grow stronger, bolder, and terrifyingly more agile while unspeakable horrors crawl out of their daytime hibernation. Don't get followed or you may not live to see daybreak ever again.



Outmaneuver the flesh-eating hordes and escape your nocturnal pursuers before the <span class="bold">Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition</span> wanes completely, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 17% launch discount will last until March 23, 1:59 PM GMT.

The game is not available for purchase in Germany. There are legal restrictions that are beyond our control, and we're very sorry for the inconvenience.


Twitch alert

Want to see people desperately running away from the infected hordes? Tune in on Twitch.tv/GOGcom and watch Memoriesin8bit and Outstar's co-op stream this Wednesday, March 16, at 9 PM GMT / 4 PM EST / 22:00 CET / 1 PM PST.

ObscuraNox: I liked it better when it was real regional prices, and all the games available for everyone, like it was a few years ago...The whole offering a german shop has more disadvantages than advantages tbh
In essence, it was a move to make GOG more attractive to new customers from Germany. ( While giving the finger to their "old" German customer base, most of which had no interest in any of these questionable new features. )

Aren't you grateful?

At this point GOG is still the better alternative to steam, but the question is...for how long?

Antimateria: I thought that following was some expansion. So to be clear it's the whole normal game plus dlc with improvements?

Johny.: I'm really sorry, but I won't make a lot of comments on the legal matters because I'm not competent. I guess the laws are fuzzy thing (interpretation etc.) so nobody (especially me) can tell something 100% sure. I'm sure legal specialists know what they are doing though.

DanTheKraut: Techland has no legal specialists for Germany. We had to show them that a regionlock isn't necessary for Germany and when it comes to GOG and I look at the games you are selling to German customers I need to say your legal specialists are bad when it comes to German laws or they don't exist either.

Sorry, but bringing up the legal matters nonsense again and violating the German laws on the other hand all the time sounds like a joke.
Please send me exact details or sources you are basing on when making that statement, and I'll surely pass them further up. Thanks.

tells you that you are allowed to sell things in "list A" to germans of age 18 and up
http://www.bundespruefstelle.de/bpjm/service,did=213560.html
tells you dying list is in "list A"

all you need is an age verification system and you can sell dying light to germans.

Damn, I just now noticed you blocked Dying light for german customers :(

Please, I think the very very best aproach to the whole subject is: CLOSE DOWN THE GERMAN GOG PAGE and be rid of all considerations for german customers. Be an international store that doesn't discriminate customers based on nationality like you were before you started the german page.

Please! I don't need a german front page. I hate it. and all it brings is censored games badly translated news entries and in the end some stupid age verification system that I will hate! I don't want to give out personal information about myself. I love that I don't have to do it for gog. You just take my money and don't ask questions. That's exactly the right way to do business. You don't have to become yet another data hoarding beast.

please don't put in a age verifications system. please just close that damned german page and go back to ignoring those incredibly stupid german laws. PLEASE.

Please no more special treatment for Germans. It is horrible.

Alright, thanks. :)
One thing I can recommend is open wishlist entry for smart age gates (maybe put valuable ideas there), as I can't reveal what we're working on. :)

It's not about the language, but the country you're coming from, unfortunately - deleting german language won't do.

You'll have a hard time convincing people about that.. Since the whole blocking started when gog introduced the German page. Before no games were blocked ;-)

Not aiming at German customers would do. Our government only regulates affairs that are aimed at German citizens directly. A Polish company from Cyprus can give our government the finger. Would be in my interest, activating VPN is bothersome. Not seeing the store page for games you own is really stupid.

Btw, I really want the Linux version! Not just for Dying Light, also for Tropico 5, Metro, BOUT, ... (Booting up Steam is annoying!)

I only said you shouldn't bring up the legal matters nonsense because if GOG would really be affected by the German laws it would be dead for Germany (image a store where 80% of the titles are only available from 23-6 no one would shop there go ask Ubisoft). GOG isn't a German company so you don't need to care about this and if you don't believe me go write directly to the Commission for the Protection of Minors in the Media (KJM http://www.kjm-online.de) and ask them if GOG is affected by the Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors in the Media (JMStV). It is not really a surprise but GOG is not affected in any way because GOG is not placed in Germany (I already asked the KJM regarding this the answer can be found in the German subforum here on GOG).

The Protection of Young Persons Act (JuSchG) doesn't count because it is a law which includes only retail copies and no digital stuff. For GOG, Steam and so on the Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors in the Media (JMStV) would count if they would be stores in Germany.

moonshineshadow: Before no games were blocked ;-)
The Witcher 2 was blocked in Australia and The Witcher 2 AU was blocked for the rest of the world. I think I recall a user managing to have both games on his shelf, and they were different entries.
Or does that not count as a blocked game?
