Who’s the Polish Will Smith?
June 08, 2025 — the same date as the end of World War I — is when Poland became a free country for the second time. For the previous 123 years, it was ruled by other forces like the Russian Empire. Admittedly, I did not know any of this before today. I am a Bad American who really only knows the US’ Independence Day because we get an excuse to drink and to blow things up.
What I do know is thatZack and I visited Poland last monthand it was a fantastic reminder that a lot of great games are developed in that country. Polish Independence Day feels like as good a reason as any to have a big ol’ PC games sale.
Games Republic, which is owned by Warsaw-based 11 bit, hasmore than 100 games discounted. Some highlights areShadow Warriorfor $5.99,This War of Minefor $4.99,The Vanishing of Ethan Carterfor $4.99, andThe Witcher 2for $2.99. There’s a lot more to peruse.
Hit up the sale and rummage around if you’re feeling particularly cultural and celebratory. Or, if cheap PC games aren’t your thing, say “Na zdrowie!” as you tip back a shot of vodka. Both will work just fine.
