For those of you who would prefer to get your games DRM-free and want to support GOG (which is always a very good thing in my opinion) and do not require a Steam key, you can save $0.09 AUD and get the Homeworld Remastered Collection from GOG.
Note: It has been mentioned that that the Steam version is also running for Mac Operating System while the GOG version is not. It also seems that the multiplayer for GOG and Steam is separate and is not interoperable.
As with the Steam version (current offer on Fanatical for $7.09 AUD, posted by myself) you will get:
- Homeworld 1 Remastered
- Homeworld 2 Remastered
- Access to Homeworld 1 Classic (I assume this will be a separate download)
- Access to Homeworld 2 Classic (I assume this will be a separate download)
From the website:
The Homeworld Remastered Collection includes:
Homeworld Remastered Edition
Homeworld 2 Remastered Edition
Homeworld Remastered Multiplayer
As a bonus, you will also receive free access to:
Homeworld Classic
Homeworld 2 Classic
Experience the epic space strategy games that redefined the RTS genre. Control your fleet and build an armada across more than 30 single-player missions. Choose unit types, fleet formations and flight tactics for each strategic situation.
