Why do you keep taking my money?

EVERY DAY, I get an e-mail... "70% off!" "80% off!!!" or... Buy 1 game, get 2 free!!!

HOW can I say no to UFO Aftermath for $1.99... or Ultima 8 for $0.90 cents, or all of the Forgotten Realms series for less than an elementary school lunch?

You are killing me! I bring my lunch to work, I've sold off all my video games, and I drive a car that's 15 years old. I'm trying to save up to pay off my mortgage, put money into my daughter's 529, save for retirement, and save so I can pay cash for my next car.

Yet, despite all my frugality, I fall victim to your e-mail campaigns, almost every single day. The worst part is... I'm buying games that I actually ALREADY OWN on CD / DVD.

Is there a help group for GoG addicts?

I would definitely sell the lunch as peanut butter and jelly sanger's is sickening.With the extra money you could then buy more as there is no cure for your problem.Gog addicts? Heaps of them in here and looking for the same cure as you but wait.....I can help for a small token (deeper thought here,think of the weight loss) just deposit all the daily lunch money (after sale of lunch) into my account and presto,just like magic your problem will be solved.This method is a sure fire,guaranteed to work and any other addicts are welcome to enrol in my new class as well.This offer is limited to the entire world so act fast or miss the opportunity of a life time.Nudge,nudge....wink wink..say no more.

HA, got me with the title.

but seriously though, if it really is a problem and not just joshing us, please do something about your addiction.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
There was a thread a year or two back that was essentially a "buy no more games" support group for resisting impulse purchases and sales. Too lazy to search for the link, however.
This is why I have a policy of only buying games under 20 USD.

Sure, let's sit around a camp fire and sing Kumbaya while looking at our GOG collection (because playing them would take a lifetime).

I'm aware, but putting a limit on purchases does help.

73vwtodd: GOG! WHAT THE H**L!!!!
Don't swear, please. There might be women or children on these forums. Use HLL instead.

My name is ciemnogrodzianin and I've got the same problem.

As I'm interested mostly in classics, there is a lot of games here which cost 1-2$ and pass below my immune system threshold.

However I've found out that transfering funds to GOG Wallet may be a nice gratification in self-development and self-discipline plan. My current solution is based on daily targets and daily reward :) Works like a charm!

I recommend such solution wholeheartedly!
