I just took a look at my game library and I noticed that my Die by the Sword gamebox on my shelf was CHANGED to a Dark/Red one

WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?

What is the GOG team up to?

hmm, I don't like replying to block caps, but you have a point. They have changed it. It was rubbish before.

It is experiencing Christmas cheer? Drank too much? Lived by the sword and is now dying by it? Damn, I am intrigued now!

old, news is old

Was pointed out near a week ago :-P

I like this look better. Shame I didn't like the actual game.

Giants and Freespace + Expansion have new boxes too.

really? I find old Die by the sword cover way better than current one. The exact opposite feelings I have for Freespace.

The Panzer Elite box art could use some work too, GOG, while you're at it. Black and red text never really did stand off to well against a black and red background...

What?

Castles 1+2 as well. Unless my old grey cells are playing tricks on me...

Why are they changing it? I want the old one back, it was the same art that was on the real box that I had, I just think it suits it better to have the actual boxes on theshelves......look like the real boxes.

Ishar was updated too.

Other than Giants, it looks like they were getting rid of that ugly black stripe that goes across the middle of the boxes. I never did like those.

Here's a quick comparison image for anyone curious.

To me DBtS looks worse now, Ishar looks better, Giants a bit better, Castles a bit worse, and Freespace about the same.
