Did you experience this odd feeling when you installed a bigger game from GOG?

I occured to me yesterday when I installed Neverwinter Nights 2.

The Installer had some gog advertisments there.
The weird thing was that all the advertisments proposed by the installer already where in my possesion, installed in the very same directory the installer was installing NWN2.
Now I know the perfect rational explanation for this, but it felt pretty weird nonetheless.

Did this occur to you as well?
Did it feel weird?

The other day the installer lied to me. When I installed Postal 2 it said "Checking game integrity". Now I love P2 but who are we kidding!? It doesn't have ANY integrity!

Note to self: disable webcam when visiting <ahem> other websites.

Don't you go rehashing your old jokes now! That's the worst period in any proper comedy writer's life! :D

You own lots of GOG games?

Yes. It makes perfect sense for GOG to advertise you games you already bought. That would mean GOG marketing guys are geniouses.

If it were spying on you, it'd show you advertisements for games you do not own, in order to get you to buy them as well, no?

EDIT: see keeveek, post #6

It depends what you call "a lot of" including all the freebies I own 14.26% of the entire catalogue. But my backlog is huge and there several genres I don't like so I don't intend to reach 100% Well, as I said, there is a rational explanation for this.

I buy games of specific genres and I'm already owning most of them. Buying the last few games from that genres and installing them shows advertisments from exactly that genre. So the marketing guys from gog do a pretty good job. They don't advertise games I don't want, but rather advertise games I should like because they have the same genre and people buying these kinds of games together.


This does make sense but it still is kinda creepy to see the exact list of games as advetisment while the installer is working...
That's all

Shit. Most people don't pay attention to anything I post much less remember it. Okay, I promise not to do it again.

...and I just got derepped twice in the course of typing that. Man, tough crowd. XD
