GOG surely knows how to get the mystery thing done right!

RIME, Metro or Darksiders for 2 bucks is a crazy deal.
Gack, worst luck I've had in a long time.

DeMignon: Thanks for the list wanderer_27. Maybe someone finds the time and counts the hits to get a better understanding on quantities. However, looks like chances are very high for me to get either doublets or unwanted stuff. I'll better stay safe from this madness ;-)
Your wish is granted. ;)

I got Her Story - not a bad game, I think.
Bleh, Spellforce Platinum.

I wish there was at least a way to filter out genres you despise from these.
so you can get any game from the whole catalog I guess?

DubConqueror: I got Her Story - not a bad game, I think.
It's a great game, if you're into more... "experimental" stuff. I loved it but, then again, I love it when games try different things and stray from the norm of the usual action/adventure/strategy/RPG formula.

I guess a lot of people wouldn't even call Her Story a game. But I'll let you experience it for yourself and make up your own mind about it. Be warned, though: if you're one of those folks who downright *despise* "walking simulators", Her Story takes that formula even further. It's not even "artsy", it just tries to do a different thing, and it's definitely a unique experience; something I haven't found in any other video game, so far.

I highly recommend it, but the usual "it isn't for everyone" disclaimer (which applies to every single game, but, still...) is extremely true, when it comes to Her Story.
As you can only get games you don't already own, this way of doing randomized games is way better then just picking from the pool again and again (which makes duplicates so easy to get)

The more you own of the list the better the games should get, (as in, you probably don't buy all the new releases immediately). I might pick up a few additional ones another day, I want to see the list expanded first so I can better gauge what peeks my interest. But hey, at least the ones below won't come back again, so that's increasing my odds. Plus, thankfully I would almost play anything so I'd say I got money's worth so far :)

My current list for the statistics;

- Anno 1404
- STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl
- Man O' War
- Bastion
- War for the Overworld
- Seven Kingdoms 2 HD
- Warlords Battlecry 3
- Enter the Gungeon

Onsdag: Edit: Anyone know how to insert a function in the spreadsheet? I would like it if column 3 adds up all of column 2 then return the % chance of getting each game.
Try:

=B2/SUM(B:B)

Edit: For the sake of statistics, I got Republique.

These are the 10 I got.

Between Tyranny and Risen 3 alone, I feel this was an awesome deal! SOMA and SR: IV I already have on PS4, and the rest I wasn't too familiar with. All in all, these are pretty good deals, and I might be jumping back in for another 10.

I bought 11 Piñata and only get 4 new games.
7 of 11 are games that I already have, and 3 of 7 redeem codes are "SpellForce Platinum".

I am sure there are over 11 games in this thread that I do not have yet.
I have reported this issue via GOG Support: Ticket #114883.

UPDATE:
Issue closed.
GOG refunded me $21 and recollect those useless redeem codes.

Actually you can get dupes, if you run the pool down. I've read reports of dupes already. As is common in these kinds of sales, GOG will only put up a limited number of some of the titles (typically the best bargains or games most in demand). There is no indication that these are exhausted, so if you keep playing with the idea that these are the only ones left for you and thus you'll get them on the next pass, you'll most likely find yourself with games you own instead.

EDIT: For further evidence, see the post directly before this one. :)

Here's the total (I'm going to assume you'll put it in B110:
=SUM(B2:B109)

Then in C2, I'd put
=C2/$B$110

And then click-drag it down to the bottom. Then I'd format the column to be a %.

Not a Google Sheets expert, but I've worked with Excel and LibreOffice Calc once or twice.

As for me, I'm glad I got out with $6 in. I have one reasonably good game (ARPG) and one two star game (P&C adv). Not listing again because I don't want to skew the results. My contribution was waay back on page 2 or 3.

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you split this into two functions?
