Breja: I love all these "I love the idea of getting a game cheap, but why is there a chance of getting something I don't want? fix it pls" threads. It's like all of you people just refuse to understand how the whole pinata thing works, and that maybe buying a game blindly is just a stupid idea.
Clearly we are not 'refusing to understand' and if you hadn't been in such an pompous frame of mind, you might not have misunderstood us and missed the point. Just imagine that GoG had offered Mac pinatas, and Linux pinatas. We would be happy. We would not have posted on the forum, no matter what actual Mac or Linux title we got from a pinata, pre-owned or unwanted. This has nothing at all to do with "got something I didn't want" or "got something I already have".
While every pinata game can at least potentially be of benefit to Windows customers, this is not true for other platforms. By design, this sale slash promo is not something that Mac or Linux customers can participate in with the same odds as everyone else. Discounted games are subsidised from the company's profit, which Mac and Linux customers contribute to, so why shouldn't we also have an equal chance to benefit? This promo was ill-designed.
OP never suggested it shouldn't be a gamble, or that pinatas are wrong because we might get a title that we are not interested in playing. Other threads might have said those things. But we didn't, we just want the same odds and same potential.
