It's my genes, I guess.

:-p

I tend to edit the blues text when I quote bc its so fun to see blue text say what you want it to say. :)

3 of 12 on sale. Two of those being the ones I'd be least inclined to actually buy right now.

One has been on the WL for years and is always on sale for 75% off (Bastion) and I've passed on the same price dozens of times. Not sure why it's still on my WL. Another is Witcher 3 expansion when I haven't actually finished the main quest yet, and have lost my place in the story so I'd probably have to start over now.

The other is Torment: Tides of Numenera, and current sale price is meh, esp. considering it was in a bundle with other good stuff for an extra 16-20% off just a few weeks ago.

So this sale is a hard pass from me unless I pick up an old Forgotten Realms pack or something. And no free gift, but I wasn't expecting one.

That said, sales come and sales go, but even as someone who didn't believe they were giving us free stuff (and I did get the email) I find the communication around this sale a bit disappointing. Not sure I really buy that most of what's on sale is really topping wish lists out there, but maybe it is.

All you can do is wait for the next sale and hope.

15 of 156 for me and only a couple are over 40%. I guess we own the most wishlisted games already?

Indeed.

Cool. I was just wondering because I didn't see any edit tag on his post, making me wonder if blues can edit their posts without it showing, which would be rather shady...

As to the other part, that was my second question. Hopefully you'll PM me links to your naked pix for uh.... educational purposes.

11 of 21 games on my wishlist discounted. But most still way off my target price, yet I got the Forgotten Realms bundle cheaply. Perhaps it takes time to hit our target prices, or we have what we wanted. It's not that sales are rare on gog. I wont complain. I have patience and already a huge back catalog of games to play... Especially since I usually prefer genres that take time to play anyway...

the sad truth is every game I would play is already in my library... do you feel sorry for me?

Congratulations and have a nice play! :)
Could you, please, tell us the title? Is it Transistor perhaps?
These 3 packs are definitely the best offer here. It's great that GOG brought the games here. One of the reasons I love GOG.
I'm also happy that the games are delivered with Linux installers. They're DosBox-based, of course, so it's no bug deal to do that, but it's still not obvious for other publishers.

My free game was the Gabriel Knight remaster – great :) Bought some games yesterday – nice sale! Thanks gog.
Who are the characters from the banner? I see Geralt of course – but the rest?

https://www.google.com/search?q=false+advertising From Twitter: From emails: The advertising: Free wishlist items.

The requirements: Active, member, April 16, start wishlist

The quantity: Thousands

It's the last part, "thousands", is where the misleading occurs. How many customers does GOG have? One thousand? Ten thousand? One hundred thousand? Nine-hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine (999'999)? If it's less than 1 million, then ALL of GOG's customers are part of the "thousands" that were promised a free wishlist item, if they meet the requirements of being an active member with a started wishlist on April 16.

And, of course, if GOG does have 1 million or more customers, then did they give away 999'999 games? Maybe not.

A lawyer would tear GOG apart over this. What's so damning about it is GOG never bothered clarify the terms of their giveaway. Namely that it's some kind of lottery, which again, could possibly create some legal problems in jurisdictions where lotteries are regulated or illegal. The use of the word "active" to describe eligible lottery entrants was not clarified with the common phrase "no purchase necessary".

Unnamed free games were allegedly given to an unnamed group of people. Observers have no choice but to view GOG's intentions in this situation very negatively. This could be a huge can of worms.

I'm as much a fan of GOG as anyone can be, but I fear GOG may have set themselves up for harsh interpretations of their advertising methods. GOG should probably consult their attorneys to figure out how to cover their butts in case government regulators start asking questions.

For myself, I'm so grateful for all the nice games GOG has made available, I'm not mad even though I feel like I was misled. I can forgive this one screw-up, but hopefully GOG employees will read this message and understand they need to take action quickly to prepare for damage control, if it is needed.

Maybe you are onto something like a hinted new release ;-)

Yes! Listen to this guy! System requirements are a big deal. They can make or break the financial success of a game, regardless of the cost of the game. Would I be more likely to spend $50 for an awesome new release if it worked on my old hardware? Yes! I have been greatly enjoying a lot of nice games, both new and old, that have low-spec system requirements. All the money I save by not buying a new PC every 18 months can be spent on games instead.

My manifesto:

Low-spec HARDWARE WALL keeping customers away from a SOFTWARE BUSINESS : /r/lowendgaming

The ease of finding low-spec games on GOG.com is probably my #2 most favorite thing about GOG. Being DRM-free is my #1 most favorite thing :)
Good catch! I didn't notice that until you pointed it out!

well, without last week promo it's 12% of wishlist, and most of the discounts are even smaller than usual.
not a big deal, actually, but if this is all we'll get, I think GOG really should've tried to slow down that hypetrain. because either 'Witcher Adventure Game' or 'I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream' are most wishlisted games here or 40-50% off base price of the game in digital store is considered super cheap.
