Daggerfall Unity was always free (but it was not on gog), and Daggerfall itself has been free since 2009
But i hope it will help to give more exposure to DFU by having it on gog, as since Bethesda put Daggerfall on steam it also increased the amount of users for Daggerfall Unity.
edit : checking the gog page, i'm unsure at what this is about.
I notice they have Daggerfall Unity at 5.5gb !
And looking at the screenshots it looks like they're all taken with a bunch of mods.
So is that actually Daggerfall Unity or is that a package of Daggerfall Unity + a bunch of mods ?
edit 2 : It looks like there will be troubles as a few modders posted that they never gave permission to gog for having their mods in that "Daggerfall Unity GoG Cut" :
https://forums.dfworkshop.net/viewtopic.php?p=61803&sid=0a20b741c4a8145e6bf53c3f8353094e#p61803Just want to give a heads up that GOG does not have my permission to include my mod, UBLaMF.
I was contacted on the 14th by an employee of GOG who told me about this, and asked for my permission to include my mod. I had already asleep by the time the message was sent, so I only saw it the next morning. However, I was very busy at work yesterday (only got back home at 9:15pm) and so, wasn't able to reply but did plan to give permission. I did have a concern I wanted resolved before doing so, though (specifically, how they were going to handle updates to DFU and the included mods). I did have enough time to send a message to GamerZakh asking him to confirm if he was involved in this, to which he replied that he was.
So after I woke up an hour ago, I found an email from GOG advertising the release of this DFU pack, and was shocked to see that they have decided to include my mod, regardless of them not having my permission to do so. So I guess GOG wasn't actually interested in getting my permission after all. I guess they don't actually respect modders' rights to their work. And worse, if they don't have permission to include my mod, how many other mods on that list have they not got permission to include?
The timing also suggests that GOG effectively decided to package all the mods together and set them up, then try to ask all the modders involved for permission only at the last minute, which is a pretty backwards way of doing it. At this point, I'm strongly inclined to tell the GOG employee who contacted me that I'm not granting permission and that they need to remove my mod from their pack. If I do so, I wonder if their response would be to respect my wishes, or would they simply ignore it.
Edit: I see joshcamas mentioned on the Discord server that he also hadn't given permission for his mod.
