We're launching the weekend early this week as good things should last longer. You've been waiting for this promo for a while, and it's finally here!

You knew this day will finally come, and at last you can grab the great Dungeons & Dragons classics, including Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment or Neverwinter Nights, for prices so crazy you have to figure that we're Chaotic Neutral. With this deal we're also testing a totally new promo system that gives you a bigger discount the more games you buy in one order. We're starting with a 20% discount if you buy one game from the offer. Every another game from the promo that you add to the order increases your discount with another 5%, so 2 games get you 25% off, 3 games get you 30% off and so on, until you get a 60% discount on your order of the whole D&D collection. Of course if you already own some of the games from the promo they will count towards your final discount!

The promo ends on Monday, September 26 at 11:59 p.m. EDT, so there's no time to lose, and you'll never know when a similar occasion will happen again.
Nice! Just got IWD 1+2. Thanks, GOG!

Mikdog: I agree that Steam is bigger, but I disagree about your logic on their sales.

But how about a little something for those of us who aren't lacking a reasonable collection? Not everyone is a classic gaming newbie, but the gog sales focus exclusively on them, while Steam is equal-opportunity. Which is why they get my money.
Steam is not only bigger, it's insanely huge. A couple of days ago GOG was happily talking about how they have a million unique visitors per month now - meanwhile, Steam can have 4 million unique customers online at the same minute. It's a whole different league, when we're talking pure size. I'm sure you can imagine how much more pull they have in negotiating deals with publishers to have sales.

Anyway... a distributor working under the assumption that you don't already have the games that they are trying to sell you.. Why does that surprise you? GOG is here to sell classic games. It isn't really reasonable for them to focus their attention on people who already have a collection with most of the games they could ever want.

That doesn't mean that I think that they "focus on gaming newbies" - you don't have to be a gaming newbie to have large gaps in a collection. Games get lost, sold and broken over time - very few people are serious collectors of games. Even if we have been gamers for a very long time, we haven't kept all those games from all those years in working condition.

[edit] And I don't even agree that they focus all that much on people with large gaps in their collection. During my time here I've certainly seen plenty of big discounts on individual great games.

this was a nice offer, thx alot for completing my collection of black isle d&d games. hell and u even count my baldurs gate 1+2 that i bought a little while back into this nice offer, to help me get the highest possible price drop on this collection, thx alot :)
u guys enjoy a nice weekend :)
Well I already own most of the games,stilli had to purchase this pack. Somehow I wonder people complain about this sale. Those games are high quality, nearlynever on sale and even 20% or 30% for some of them seems like a fair deal.
comparing Steam with GoG is quite strange, as Steam offersmostlyfull price games, often at full retail price, while amazonandothers already halved the prices for the boxed versions. Sure they can lower the prices in sales by50% and still arent cheap. Some sales there are great deals, but often not so popular games or ones where they promote newergames.
Not to forget, Steam mostly gets more money for selling one game than gog for selling 5 games.
I like every type of promo, as it offers a discount. Regardless how high it is, its still a discount!
Just got the DnD pack yesterday, with all 9 games...

Woo hooo it rocks ;)
LOL GoG.com isn't going anywhere it will be here until they pull the plug or the internet and the world ends. It's worth over 30 million USD so I think it will be around for a very long time.

Well, i most definitely WILL buy Baldur's Gate 2 here for the english language version. I have boxed ver of PL version (and it's SUPERB), but always wondered how my favourite character sound in ENG ;)
I joined GOG a week ago, mainly to get old RPGs from BioWare and Black Isle.

A week later GOG is having a big sale for most of their games. I bought all nine games.

I am in exactly the same situation - I have some of those games but I really want a copy that will survive time and English voices are also tempting so I will buy them All. And I feel that I definitely postponed for too long buying some of those great games *coughIceWindDalecough*

Bought all, although i have BG1, Bg2 twice, german and american version, IWD1, Planescape and NWN, Couldnt resist to have an easyinstallable package without the need of CDs. Those are packed away anyway.
I bought all them.

And I don´t think about discounts, just the final price. And I must say very cheap they are.

More, I like the DRM free thing, because is safer and more confortable (no need to put in
and out the disk, and the risk of breaking it). So, I even bought some games I have the CDs.

Conversely, I do not like the system that forces me to be connected with a site, even to play
offline.
This sale is exactly what I'd been hoping to see since joining, thank you GOG!

I've only been here 36 days and now thanks to this sale (and the freebies) I have 36 games. I'm looking forward to many future purchases, even if my bank account isn't :-)

Just have to find the time to play them all...
Unbelievable, the offer I've been waiting for since joining and when it finally arrives I have no money.. It's almost laughable :)
