There are a few more heroes from SquareEnix, that deserve a special treatment from GOG.com, and we will be announcing them in coming weeks. Today, it’s time to shave your head and buy an AMT Hardballer or wear sunglasses at night and save the world from the Illuminati.
You decide what kind of hero you want to be.
If they do a Thief release I'm sure they'll at least give some of the FMs a nod seeing as there's so much win around here.
I have a vision of "special treatment" that includes some kind of collaboration with the TTLG community and the peeps working on the source. We've already got texture packs, hundreds of fan missions with 3+ mission loaders, re-encoded cutscenes, widely tested widescreen support, technical support for many platforms and possible modernization of parts of the engine (I haven't checked "the thread" in a while). Licensing terms might allow some of this to be bundled or included as a bonus patch to the GOG release. Long shot, but no matter what happens, the GOG release will bring more people here and liven it up a bit.

Thank you, Captain Obvious!
Yeah, it's Hitman and Deus Ex

Jesus malau, was it necessary to post those big website images to make an announcement with news that everyone knew four days ago?

Free soundtrack? Anyone able to check if it's the one which the Child of Karras arranged? It already annoys me that (

Bonus content? Interesting...

New Release: THIEF™ GOLD
It’s a Steal!
THIEF™ GOLD is the definitive version of Thief: The Dark Project, the first game that introduced sound and light (or silence and shadows) as stealth gameplay mechanics, so there is no way you can sneak past this gem on GOG.com for just $9.99.
Garrett, the main protagonist in Thief trilogy, is one of the gaming’s most appealing hidden anti-heroes. Sure, he’s a thief (and a killer!), but he makes it up with sarcasm, intelligence, and rougish appeal. Thief’s surprisingly elaborate storyline throws Garret between a rock and a hard place where he needs to restore the political and magical balance of the city by using silence, stealth, and thievish skills as a weapon. The chaotic Pagans and technological Hammerites are preparing to tear the city apart in their battles with each other, and it seems that only a little judicious theft can keep these titani forces from clashing. No matter who's the employer and who's the victim, he plans to stay neutral and is always upholding his beliefs with a simple key principle: always get the loot.
In THIEF™ GOLD, you have a wide range of equipment at your disposal: a blackjack, a sword, lockpicks, holy water, explosive mines, flash bombs, and seven types of arrows to assist you on 12 treacherous missions in a steampunk-medieval metropolis called the City. The game’s FPS mechanics are a big change from then-traditional DOOMlike “shoot and run” to the unthinkable "it's quite amazing how much fun it can be to avoid action". The game received much critical acclaim (92! Metascore), with reviews ranging from “immersive gaming experience”, through “bloody good”, to the quite expected “my favorite game of all time”.
You don’t have to get your hands dirty to get THIEF™ GOLD from GOG.com’s secret stash for $9.99.
