eiii: Actually GOG had implemented the same, customer friendly behavior with their old bundles. They only switched to this new, intransparent and customer unfriendly behavior with their new collections.

faroot: Your memory is very different than mine. When did that happen?
It was the standard bundle behavior when bundles still had their own promo page where you also could see which games of a bundle you already own. You got the higher bundle discount when you bought all the games from the bundle which you did not already own. So for example when a bundle had 5 games and you already owned 3 of them, you only had to buy the remaining 2 games to get the higher bundle discount.

I don't think GOG should be dealing in fudge when it comes to bundles that ignore games you already have and/or gift codes that sometimes expire.

Rather, GOG should remove all that fudge and

a) make it so no gift code ever expires under any circumstances, period.

b) make it so no bundle refuses to acknowledge games that a customer already owns; in such cases, all bundles should be discounted accordingly for that customer.

GOG instead going with this current it's fine to fudge things policy is not a good thing for GOG. That's just going to damage its reputation.

Leroux: No, eiii is right, they did that in the past, although mostly with very huge bundles, like all of the D&D games.
They also did it for a lot of smaller bundles. There even were bundles where you only had to pick a certain number of games from the bundle, like pick 5 of 10, to get the higher bundle discount. Or bundles where the discount has been increased the more games you have picked from the bundle. And for all of these bundles the owned games have been counted in your favor towards the higher discount, without having to re-buy them as gift codes.

GameRager: It's not hard and sometimes a bit of effort makes things more enjoyable when they're worked for and not just obtained easily/quickly.
Sorry but that must be the most stupid argument I have ever heard as an excuse for laziness.

You know what? I'm going to say the same to the devs who don't care about rebinding: work it up, it's worth it in the end!

(and in my case, it actually is, no rebinding, no money)

Hey GOG...
Any plans to fix the Scary Family pack?
Why couldn't you make a pack with the deluxe version of the third Mafia game?
You could have made it a higher price point.
:(

Oh damn, I completely forgot to thank GOG Team for a gift copy of Obduction. Thank you very much and sorry for a delay.

dav34: So am I missing something or am I required to rebuy items I already own just to get the bundle deal....

Just deleted 3 bundles from my cart because it doesnt factor individual already owned items. Will wait and probably buy them on Steam then when the inevitable sales hit sadly since their store does factor owned items, #sadface.
The bundle price is for all the games included. If you already own some of the games, you will get a code for them, with an expiration date of one year, that you can gift or trade.

Zoidberg: I'm not using joyToKey because my keyboard is working well, and I'm not messing up with Unreal config files. Devs don't put the work in making me welcome? I'm not going through the work to play their game. Screw them, it's like there are 100s of games where I can easily play and devs that aren't lazy or stupid as to overlook that basic functionality.

GameRager: It's not hard and sometimes a bit of effort makes things more enjoyable when they're worked for and not just obtained easily/quickly.
To be fair to Zoidberg, half the problem is Epic Games completely stupid defaults for Unreal Engine 4 that often need the config files editing anyway to remove bad bindings in order to remap good ones. Eg, it's long been standard convention to mirror WASD onto cursor keys for the benefit of left-handers and yet UE4 defaults to L/R cursor keys turning instead of strafing (like A/D). So you then end up with two controls to turn left / right (one in each hand) and yet no control for strafe (in either hand). One other bad default game recently was Pathologic 2, ie, cursor keys were double-mapped to both move forward / back and look up / down at the same time. So every time you moved forward with cursor, you stared at the ceiling, and moved back = stared at the floor. The sad truth is, this nonsense is stuff that most devs got right 5-20 years ago in earlier Unreal Engine 1-3 era games like Unreal 1 / Deus Ex through to Bioshock Infinite, etc. It only seems to be UE4 that's had it's defaults stupefied as if the maker of Unreal Engine had never made an FPS game before...

chandra: If you want to buy a game as a gift, then you receive a gift code that never expires, so you are not wrong about that :)
Game collections are not the same, though. If you were to purchase a game collection (and the ones we have in the Summer Sale are pretty sweet deals ;) ), and you own one or more of the titles in said bundle, then you receive giftable game codes, which are valid for a year.
Where I live, selling Gift codes that expire is illegal. The code may be of limited duration only if it is free. If the code is paid (you pay money for it), then it should be permanent.
Of course, there is such a thing as Stature of limitations, but even this term is established by legislation for three years (as a general rule).
What GOG does is illegal here. GOG simply takes advantage of the fact that GOG is Elusive Joe. (https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/9jxc6a/elusive_joe/ )

Where do you live ?

I hope Neverwinter NIghts 2 gets added to the sale. I don't think I've seen that come around in a while.

If you like:
• point&click adventures
• horror atmosphere
• pixelart
consider Last Door Collection.
Perhaps story is not perfect, but audio-visually it's just masterpiece and overall experience is worth trying, especially that these games joined the sale with huge discount.

Thank you for the giveaway!

:]

I'm also glad to see BioShock Infinite finally come to GOG. Now I might be able to finally try it out, and maybe who knows even complete the whole series.

They also include the soundtrack as well if I remember correctly.
