Up to 75% off Avernum series, Syberia 1+2, Atlantis series and more!


Friday, March 20. It's the first day of spring (in participating locations), the first day of our <span class="bold">Spring Breakers Weekend Promo</span>, and we've got a few handfuls worth of discounts (up to 75% off) for you. Break into that spring state of mind - take your laptop outside, (no connection required here!) or crack open your office window and soak in the warm, blooming air. Breathe in...


The evergreen lands of Atlantis 1+2 are as good a start as any, and it's tough to deny the pleasures of sailing the Caribbean in Corsairs Gold - but really, who knows where springtime adventure will take us eventually. We might just descend into Avernum, an underworld in turmoil, or perhaps delve into the Geneforge games and their ridiculously deep RPG mechanics. If you're not too big on the seasons changing, the cold and dreary lands of Syberia are always there to take you in with their mystery and adventure. All that and more is our impetuous springtime greeting.



Breathe out... The spring equinox overwhelms our senses with sunshine and allergies, it's a fine time to take on some of the greatest titles you maybe haven't gotten around to yet. There is nothing quite like the gust of warm wind to accompany a weekend gaming session, the <span class="bold">Spring Breakers Weekend Promo</span> is how we're doing it - how about you?

The promo will last until Tuesday, March 24 at 4:59 AM GMT.

DeMignon: Well, only 15% of the games offer 75% discount, the rest is less discounted. That used to be different in the past or at least the ratio was a bit more appropriate. Don't fall for cheap marketing bla bla GOG, you're better than that. It almost looks like you've got some new marketing personal. This sale strategy is rubbish, because you loose credibility and amiability, which will hurt you in the long run.
Well, that's one way of looking at it...
We're always trying to bring you the best possible deals. That's why we do have some games at 75% off in this weekend promo and that's why we use the "up to" phrase. Would you rather we didn't mention their discount at all, or drop them from the promo altogether and wait for another one with more 75% off games? I admit, there is no perfect solution but the current one is the best we got.

realkman666: "Up to" has always meant the same thing.

DeMignon: "Up to" is cheap marketing bla bla nonetheless if there are only a few titles fulfilling this expectation.
Don't take me too seriously, I'm a bit in a rant mood today and I really hate lies and trickery in marketing (not talking about GOG here), be it commercials or whatnot. I simply detest those suckers preying on gullible people.

DeMignon: Thanks for answering. I appreciate your work and I like GOG, maybe that's why I'm a bit sensitive to these things. I don't think GOG needs any marketing tricks. It's all good, maybe I'm just in a bad mood today ;-)
Bad mood? It's Friday! Life is awesome! :) Anyway, seriously, feedback is always welcome (This is NOT a marketing trick).

Gearmos: I need advice: Geneforge Saga or Avernum Saga? I can't buy both, so I must choose one. Thanks!
Geneforge :D
