How well do you know GOG.com?

GOG.com 5th birthday celebration continues, and we came up with some fun activities essential to every nerd party in the universe. Namely, we want to play some trivia with you! There will be prizes, of course, because there have to be gifts in a birthday celebration. Since it is our party, you get to keep the gifts! We wouldn't have it any other way. But, just to make it more fun, you'll have to put some effort into getting them. For the next couple of days (let's say: until Sunday), we'll post a daily activity for you. A quiz, a puzzle, some trivia--you know: fun stuff. Each day you'll get a chance to prove your gaming knowledge and familiarity with GOG.com for a chance to get some free games. Our activity of choice today: a GOG.com useless knowledge quiz, brought to you by Pictie the Unhappy, our very own media representative!

vulchor: Woo hoo! The first one of these puzzles that I was able to finish!

Maddog1: Finishing it is easy (just pick random answers)
Getting it correct is slightly harder-still easier than the previous two though! :)
Right. In this case, I'm 99.9% sure everything's correct. Unless we had 1000s of people vote up X-Wing.
swing and a miss, gog. Leave humor to the professionals.
Cool contest, GOG, I loved this! First one I really participated.

Great way to get to know a little more about GOG. And thanks for offering a chance to win something even for non-gunslingers like me.

This was so much fun.

Just sent mine.

Thanks GOG. I enjoyed doing this one. It was fun.
I took my time. I prefer accurate answers rather than hurried guesswork.
I'm using phone. I can't beat the speed of those using computers, anyway.

Question #2 is the hardest one IMO.

My question is...is it allowed to submit answers more than once?
Can someone still win if the first one is incorrect and second one correct?
The answer options made me chuckle - nice one GOG!
8. Why did "those &%^*$*# shut the website down"?
a) Expanding to mobile
b) to get out of beta
c) Linux support
Don't be cruel, GOG :(
Where are the answers, GOG?

Just want to know if I was wrong on certain questions.

l0rdtr3k: anybody won?is this over?
It's definitely over, says there 2:59 GMT, and the link was removed from the front page around that time (some 5 min later actually).

It's only saturday - and no new quiz?
I'd expected at least one more.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. Thought, they would bring a new quiz and the solutions for the third round...

Whatever is happening, it's probably GOG monks' fault...
Maybe GOG is still trying to figure out the answers themselves; some of the questions surrounding the delayed launch were confusing.

Arthandas: Whatever is happening, it's probably GOG monks' fault...
They should apologize as GOG monks do!
Has anyone received their gift already?
Hi!

Where are the GOG's official answers to this trivia?

Thanks!
