Gamification? I'm more concerned with the free games that I may be able to earn in the future.
Here is my point: in the last sale that let us earn free games at different XP milestones, I really had troubles finding the games that I wanted to buy to reach milestones - because I had already bought most of the games I wanted. I ended up buying some games that I did not even like to reach the final milestone to get the final free game. I wished I had not bought some of the games that I already had on GOG, so I could buy and use those games during the sale to reach the final milestone.
Since then, GOG has added many new games, most of which I already own on Steam. Now, if the XP milestones are coming back, then I would rather hold off on buying some of the games that are on sale now. I would save them for future milestones to earn free games. I am especially reluctant to spend money again on the same games that I already own on Steam. On the other hand, if I know that XP milestones are not coming back, then I may just grab them now.
