ssling: I suspect many people will be pissed (discount price was historical low on all platforms).
Wottie: I wouldn't exactly say I'm peed, as I've crossed out about 17 items off my wishlist in this sale (and only one on "the other platform" Summer Sale so far), but as I'm a marketing professional, it brought a sad sigh out of me, in the "Good intentions... way to hell..." way, out of me. Yeah, I bought Virtuaverse at the beginning of the sale. Leaves a bit of a bitter aftertaste. Is it sooo difficult to make a deal with the developer that if you do a giveaway (which is paid to the developer, by the way), you don't discount it during the same event? Or does GOG want everyone to wait for the last moment of a sale to be sure that what they're buying is the best deal on the item?
ssling: Freebie-wise this is possibly best sale ever for me.
Wottie: Having hoarded 900+ games on GOG so far, I wouldn't say that, as I only didn't have one of the giveaways in my library, but I got rid of a bit of my wishlist thanks to the Insomnia deals. A good sale all in all - so it's all the more a pity that it leaves that bitter aftertaste, especially with the _last_ giveaway.
Same thing here. I bought VirtuaVerse just a few days ago, and now they give it for free... They should have not discounted the game, if they were planning to give it away...
Just my 2 cents.
