It does not limit the giving of gifts, just the buying.
(If they did not change this in the last two months)

You can imagine how thrilled I was when I went on a gifting spree for a certain newly released game and was then blocked... and the system did not even work correctly... there was a bug, they needed three days to find the bug and unlock me for buying that game again...

3.3 Your GOG account and GOG content are personal to you. You can gift GOG games and GOG videos to other people (up to a limit of 5 per day and provided the recipient doesn’t already own the GOG game/video being gifted) however this might differ on a case by case basis, but you can't sell them or charge money for them.
I don't know how this works, so... If you can't redeem Death to Spies, just give it another try tomorrow.
Still available:
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Star Wolves

Hey that, Amnesia the dark descent still available?
I didn't realize that they have add the linux versions. I guess some kind of optional notification for specific platforms when a new "release" happened would be cool.

I just wanted to find this weekend's promo thread and ask if Wasteland 2 is a good game. On my way to this thread I clicked a couple of other threads and found nothing but idiots (worst example is this one) and countless threads with bitching (people rage quitting GOG because of the shelf view, people throwing around "You're gonna sued for false advertisement" crap because of speculated Witcher 3 graphic downgrades, etc.). Everyone's in full doomsday mode... And this after we got Warner, Disney/Lucas, Star Trek and a hand full of not so old AAA games (stuff that was impossible to get for GOG) DRM free. The games are what matters and GO's been doing an awesome job with some releases this year. But people throw shit (complain and criticize all you want, but keep it civil, reasonable and don't be aggressive towards everyone who doesn't share your opinion!) because of the game shelf... No, now I don't want to ask stuff about Wasteland 2 anymore -.-
Too much is too much. This place isn't fun anymore. I'm out of here for a couple of weeks/months until everyone's calmed down a bit... or leave for good if the bitching won't stop. Maybe Magmarock was right and we need some "modiration" ;P
Seems to me the mellow *GOG-feel* on this forum is evaporating... Hence hesitation posting is next...
(Asking *silly* questions or making remarks that don't fit the mainstream opinion will easily get you bashed).
NOW, about Wasteland 2: I liked the game a lot. Dense storytelling; packed with content. Gritty atmosphere. Graphics are good, though not state of the art. A lot of playtime but I never got bored. After playing X-Com I felt the fights could use a little improvement on the tactical elements, nevertheless I was pleasantly surprised.
I payed full price; if it is on sale I would say go get it...

Just thought I'd post something here.
I have only been on GOG for a short time (I guess I'm one of those "noobs") this is my first post on the forums.
I must say I am impressed. I have always despised registration codes on games and what not. This, among other reasons, is why I gravitated to consoles for gaming.
I came across this site while looking to purchase Neverwinter Nights. I could not for the life of me find it anywhere, so my google search lead me here.
I was worried there would be difficulty with installation, but I did not have a problem. I experienced a couple of crashes in game, but that can be expected.
Since my purchase of NWN I have bought a pile of other games I've missed out on, due to console gaming. GOG is the reason I'm playing PC games again, and I couldn't be happier. For the first time in well, forever, I am more than happy to throw my money into something. GOG has my full support and I will continue to buy games from here.
I despise Steam, Origin, and other such programs. I am holding off on downloading this GOG Galaxy client, for now..
Anyway, just thought I'd add this to the mix, for positivity's sake. Complaining is the way of the world these days, but I have none here.

But be warned, keep a tight lookout for your wallet. I am like you and so happy with GoG that I buy games I unlikely play during sales because it is cheap, want to support GOG and feel I own the games unlike steam rental.
Then my backlog grew to 800+

Yesterday my account showed a total of 706 games, today it shows 709.
Isn't the unbundling done already, or is anyone aware of other reasons for such a change in numbers?
Thanks in Advance for any helpful answer.

It would be cool, yes. The current changelog and notification system work fine for the games you already own, but that's all. Some people don't buy games they want because they're not supported for this OS or are not available in that language, so it would be convenient to notify somehow about this kind of changes.
