I wanted to ask - if we buy a game here and it later comes up in another promo using the all for 50% or some for 30% model, do we have to buy the same games again to get the 50% deal? That would kind of suck, but promos like this are good for research for ideas for my RPG company - www.dvoidsystems.com

You just need to buy all remaining games to get 50% off.

Not at all; the posts for these promos would be thousands of replies long, each and every one of them a legitimate complaint over such a poor business practice.

If you already own at least one of the games in a promo, and there's an "all for 50% or some for 30%" deal, then the game or games you already own will be greyed out and flagged "already owned," in which case you'll get the 50% discount by purchasing all of the remaining games.

chautemoc: Great promo. More of these 'best of the genre' promos, please. :)

Only one I didn't have was Journeyman and I've been rather curious about it, so that's that.
Agreed. I like seeing this intermingled with the publisher promos...brings something a bit different to the table.

DrIstvaan: I agree with gyokzoli; they are definitely not for me, but it's good to see a promo that is sure to be well-received by the majority of GOGers.
I feel the same. Given the feedback from the massive promo two weeks ago, it appears that GOG took heed by offering some scaled down (yet quality) promos. I hope they're rewarded with a strong sales response.

Ended up buying Tex Murphy too. I now own all of the games in the promo and 3 of them were bought here.


Kudos to GOG for the excellent promo, you made me buy 2 games!

A pretty good little promo, despite already owning TLJ on disc I bought all of them anyway. It's just such an irresistible deal.

Hmm the first time I've noticed you get the same discount if you buy one or all games and I have them all except for the Journey Man 2. Oh well.

Just checked out a quick play through trailer well the first 6 minutes I don't want to spoil the game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijpT5gGcGZU

Yep I'll get a copy I think I might enjoy it, who knows when I'll have time though. Perhaps I need one of those suits.

Another day, and another reason to love gog.com! Saw your weekend special, saw that two of the games are interesting to me, klicked the others off and...surprise, surprise!!...the 50% discount stays...wow!
Right away, I bought the two games I was interested in.

*both thumbs up*

Sweet! As a games fanatic, I've pretty much wishlisted every game on GOG, including the ones I already own on disk, and these promos are an ideal way to pick them up!

What do you think this is: Steam or something. :)

Ok, Tex & JP BiT bought... This is first time we got 50% off no matter how many games from promo bought... I wonder if we witness changes in gog.com promo strategy.. We shall see. This weekend was indeed nice.

You are mistaken regarding the highlighted part. There were a couple of such promos already, they are just very rare.
EDIT: for example, this wasn't a "bundle promotion".

Just bought the whole pack. Actually I had two of the games on old CDs, but it's so much easier to dl from GOG. Besides. It's my 200th day on GOG (or so my profile claims), so I had to treat myself to something :D

I ended up buying Journeyman Project 2. I already own Sanitarium (hard copy), and the Tex Murphy game (both physical and GOG copy), and... Longest Journey doesn't interest me. >_>

The Longest Journey is actually the best game of that group.
