I know I'm stupid for not pushing the button to add the DLC earlier, but punishing me for it is pretty stupid. I've seen other games which were de-listed but still had DLC available for those who bought the base game already. Why should this one be any different?
Revolution Software is generally pretty cool for porting all versions of the game to Linux, but what the fuck.
By the way, the 2024 remaster also supposedly lacks content that was in the removed 2009 director's cut — including the pictured scene, if I'm not mistaken — which isn't really my problem, of course, but is still pretty lame.
>check GOG
>also have 2009 version on GOG with 1996 version in goodies there
Good.
