foxworks: I suggest you spend more at GOG so we can have more sales.
That reminds me - there are some games I want to buy bundled... must get Sinistar interested in buying them full price.

Navagon: Any game you buy at full price will at some point go on sale.
Unless it's Gothic or Shovel Knight.

Fixed it for you. The first Gothic has already been discounted thrice this year.

Yeah, GOG makes these little frauds all the time. One time, they closed the site for good. Oh, good days.

You didn't get the memo? You're supposed to send GOG a list of all the games you will be buying, and when, so they will know when to start their sales early. Geez, I thought everyone knew that.

Also, you should look over your welcome packet; it clearly states that GOG, whenever possible, will try to screw over customers and piss them off. They assume that if you haven't bothered to provide them with your personal shopping habits and plans you deserve to get screwed. Since you no doubt failed to send them any notifications, you're s.o.l.

But seriously: seriously YOU?!!!

Maybe with Bethesda here they could pass the word along to the Arkane guys. ;)

Every rule has its exceptions.

oniryck: Hi, and yeah, I'm pissed !!

Twice I bought games from you, games I could easily have on abandonware sites, but I told myself "heck, at least with GOG I'll have them anywhere, anytime".

And each time, the ONLY TWO times I bought from you, the NEXT day, all the freaking games I bought go on sale at -75% !! Seriously this is pure fraud and rip off !!!

I know I'm just screwed and you won't do anything for me, but I'll never buy from you again, period. Making business out of mostly abandonware stuff is one thing, I can understand as like I said it's handy to have them easily anywhere. But THIS kind of stuff, putting sales on games right after people buy them, is seriously spitting in the face of your customer.

I believed in this service but I'm heavily disapointed. I know this won't make anything move forward in the customers direction, but I least I said it.

Enjoy the last money you get from me.
It's not really GOG's fault is it? You were just extremely unlucky. If games are on abandonware sites, I doubt you lost more than few dollars/euros (as most classics are either 5.99$/9.99$ or euro equivalent). Can happen anywhere really. In late 90's I bought Voodoo 2 video card for 1500 finnish marks (~250€) only for price to drop to half next week. It wasn't even sale but permanent price reduction.

If you really want to avoid similar situation, buy games only during sales. GOG has regular sales over weekend as well as staff pick sales at begining of the week. Then there's several big sales where large portion of games on catalog goes to sale like Christmas and Summer sale among others. There is usually big sale in autumn celebrating GOG's birthday so big sale may be coming up in near future.

tinyE: That happens to all of us all of the time but you don't see us having fucking temper tantrums about it.

And BTW, your dad said he wanted TWO COATS OF WAX ON THE CAR! So get to it, or no dessert, you immature little twerp.
Back to the Future?
