To those who hate waiting, system shock 2, which one of the greatest predecessors to modern horror games, is finally available to purchase again:

Oh? I didn't know that System Shock 2 went off sale for a while. Why did they do that?

For a while? It's been many years since anybody could buy the game :p. The rights to the game were tangled up in an incredibly complicated legal mess, but some studio recently was able to get the rights to re-distribute the game on gog.com.

This is kind of incredibly big news for classic video games, as system shock 2 was one of the most innovative games of its time. It was the first to allow people move the mouse with free range, interact with objects in such a way, and a real upgrade system for your character. Most big games today like borderlands, mass effect, fallout, etc. are heavily influenced by it. The bioshock series is considered to be its spiritual successor.
