Grargar: The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition: 673

Poor Guybrush...
It is his own fault, why did he get such a haircut, I also would not want to be seen with him ;-)

This being a Special Edition, he decided to get a special haircut. Seems like it didn't work.
Nope just a marketing tool to trap people into buying popular titles.*wink wink*
We all want to belong to the mass don't we

Nope. Besides, I can hardly think of one buying a game just to lift it on the bestsellers list. C'mon.
Let's take a look at the LucasArts games, now that the sale has ended:

Tie Fighter Special Edition: 119
X-Wing Special Edition: 143
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis: 484
Sam & Max - Hit the Road: 494
Knights of the Old Republic: 532
The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition: 674

Every game has gone up, with the exception of Indiana Jones which has remained in the same position and the Secret of Monkey Island, which slipped by 1 position.

tinyE: The GOG bestsellers are real.

The GOG forum is surreal.
Had to +1 that. It made me smile.
With regards to the "Bestselling" sort order on the "Games" search page: One of the Blues had mentioned in a post a while back (I have no recollection of where) that the "All-Time" Best Sellers were actually "just" the best sellers of the past year or so. (This has been since the site remodel; I don't know if that's how it worked in Olden Times.)
The year is ending, so let's have a final look at the LucasArts games:

Tie Fighter Special Edition: 117
X-Wing Special Edition: 137
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis: 480
Sam & Max - Hit the Road: 489
Knights of the Old Republic: 527
The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition: 671

Well it stomped just below the top 100s... probably awaiting a sale to keep ascending, isn't there a new SW hype Disney should culture?
Tie Fighter Special Edition: 114
X-Wing Special Edition: 133
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis: 477
Sam & Max - Hit the Road: 485
Knights of the Old Republic: 519
The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition: 668

BTW, The Witcher 3 Preorder: 130 which is impressive considering it was postponed and there were some who asked for a refund.

That's quite an impressive leap, considering that it's only been a week since my last post.

And on the last day it was the only Tie Fighter in the catalog it reached... Drum rolls: 109! Thats 5 spots in two weeks. Going downhill now...
X-Wing Special Edition: 129 Which is 4 spots up in the same time frame.
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis: 469 Still the only Lucas arts "original" as all we got today is more StarWars
Sam & Max - Hit the Road: 480 It's catching up with Indie, I wonder if it will beat it with time Indie had a long run on steam.
Knights of the Old Republic: 505 - A nice leap for two weeks, ~10th page district. I wonder if KOTOR2 brings more love to his elder brother.
The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition: 668 Yes, It didn't even move. Did you know it (still?) has a 20% discount?

It's a new 20% discount that also applies to KotOR 1+2, Dark Forces, Battleground 2 and Indiana Jones. In addition, The Secret of Monkey Island, along with the first KotOR had their base price dropped to $9.99 (was originally $12.49).
Yes, why not?

GOG is a community with a lot of old/retro gamers.

I wonder if Guybrush moved just due to other games were bought less (in comparison to all the spotlight SW games are getting on yearly span)
