Delibrium: Can i buy it now in advance and send it to him when he's online?
JMich: Yes. Buy the game as a gift, and enter your own email address. You will get a code in your email.
When you want to give said game to someone, give them said code. Once they redeem it, they get the game.
Hah that's kinda smart, i feel stupid for not thinking of it. Thanks man
Delibrium: so yeah i have a good mate and i want to buy him a game in sale and send it to him but he does not have gog yet.
Can i buy it now in advance and send it to him when he's online?
skeletonbow: Yes, you can buy gifts for people by checking the gift box when you go to pay for the game. Fill out your own email address if you don't want to submit your friend's right away (such as a birthday surprise or whatnot). Just pass the code along to them when you're ready to gift it.
I should note that certain games that are discounted sometimes have a lower discount if bought as a gift compared to if you buy it for yourself which is to discourage fraud. Additionally you may need to purchase a certain amount of games for yourself first and/or wait a few weeks/months before you're able to purchase gifts which is an additional anti-fraud measure GOG uses. Your account is older so these may not be an issue.
Cool ,thanks for the info man and yes I am a member for quite a while now and i've bought more then 25 games.
I want to buy my friend vampire the masquerade: bloodlines (i allready own it on steam) but he does not have a gog account and i will of course get him "to join the gog team".
I myself am from Belgium and i have both euro's and dollars in my wallet ( i have a tendency to misclick all the time)
and he lives in the UK and is bound to use pound sterling i assume?
