If you've been here for a while, just think for a moment about all the games you've received for free from GOG. I'm sure I've got dozens in my catalog that were given away.
If you missed this one, like me, make a small curse at kismet and then walk away. You didn't get harmed. And there will be many free games in the future.

I have "decent, reasonable and civil forum community" on my wishlist, and I didn't get one. I'm really disappointed.

GOG can give games to whoever they please, based on whatever criteria they please. It appears they chose to spontaneously reward wishlisters. It doesn't seem random, the game was on the wishlist, which suggests it was wanted. If we don't put a game on the wishlist it either suggests we don't want it, or we don't want GOG to know we want it. Either way, their giveaway was entirely reasonable on identifying those most likely to want the game.
Of course GOG can do anything, as long as it's legal. But for a business it would be a good approach to respect all parties equally and be as transparent and open about things as possible.
"Guillaume Rambourg: We have only two price points on GoG – we have $5.99 and $9.99. So as such we have already quite a pure message for the users. So of course we run promotions, but we are not so much into it. We believe that the best way to promote the games it not to have promotions all the time, but to put your heart into it. That's why we specialise in reviving the brands by adding some exclusive interviews, talking to the guys who made those games. I think this is the best way, not to dive into endless promotions all the time, and devalue the products."
(emphasis added)
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2010-09-24-gogs-guillaume-rambourg-interview
What kind of a message does GOG send out these days?
Some users get benefits, while others do not?
Some users get $70 worth of freebies (talk about devaluing products right there!!), not necessarily even wanting them that badly, but just happening to click to right button one or twice.
How does anything that happened here inspire my confidence as a long-term GOG customer to keep spending my money here? GOG is going against their own principles one at the time.
Well, whatever. I guess Good Old Games is really gone.

Now all of sudden, it does. No one knew using wishlists was an entry ticket to something. Or a subscription to game removal notifications, which have been asked for the last eight years or so.
If you don't see the fundamental problem here, fine, OK, but there really is one. A big one.

But we have to disagree about the rest. Using the wishlist to give away the games to people who really wanted them (and put them on the wishlist because of that) was a good idea in my eyes.

I mean, if you're going to go with ridiculous, dramatic hyperbole you can at least put some heart into it.

Seriously, when I buy a game, the only thing I'm entitled to and the only thing I expect is that game. It has nothing to do with any freebies, giveaways or anything of the sort.
And it only took you six years to notice!

To clarify one thing, as previously mentioned, this was limited to a select number of titles but everyone that had wishlisted them have received them.
If someone had just one title out of the selected ones in their library, they would get one game. If they had, let's say three out of these selected titles, they would get three games and so on.
And again a thank you to GOG for this GA.
I don't give up the hope that all the whiners and haters will wake up one day, and will start to solve the real problems in this world.
There is a lot to do.

It has been asked before by the whiners so I will provide one answer.
I didn't know that having a wishlist would provide me with a free game.
The only reason I started using this feature was to have an easy way to remember what games I want to eventually buy, but can't afford at this time.
I use the wishlist since...I don't remember, perhaps from the very beginning.
I use the wishlist in other sites too no matter what it is called. For example Amazon, Ebay, Skroutz .gr Public.gr and others. I add items that I want or that I find interesting enough to consider getting in the future.
Suddenly (good song) I received an email I got a free game from my wishlist.
It was good news, I was glad they gave games away. There are other Telltale games (which GOG gave away) which I do not own yet and which are not and never were in my wishlist. With the logic of the whiners here, I too should complain to GOG that I should have been informed about the giveaway as to add to my wishlist the games I don't really care about enough to click an icon (add to wishlist). I should probably whine and whine and whine about the almost certain end of the world that I didn't get a couple more games for free.
OH THE HUMANITY! I DIDN'T GET ALL THE FREE GAMES I COULD!!!!
There is a wishlist for years now. Use the wishlist and perhaps you will get lucky in the future.
FFS stop your bitching!
You didn't get a couple of free games, WHO THE FRAK CARES! You didn't lose anything. You weren't harmed. You were too lazy or whateverthefuckIdontgiveashitwhatthereasonwas to click on add to wishlist games.
Get over it you shit for brains whiny fraktards.

No this is terrible. I'm going on hunger strike until gog takes back the games it gave away.
