Let's take a look at the bundles, shall we?

All of the above offers last for the next 24 hours, that is until Sunday, June 30, at 12:59PM GMT. Enjoy our #NoDRM Summer Sale, and drop by tomorrow for more massive discounts and gaming excitement!
The biggest problem Myst has for me is that I bought it when it was released. I don't remember the game too fondly as it seemed more like a pretty game. I got stuck early, and so I imagine buying it again would be nothing more than stepping through some walk-thru to complete.

On the other hand, I passed up completing the Platformers pack, but I just saw a video on the twisted dreams, and that looks like fun to me. I might pick that up yet. Need to watch a youtube gameplay video on it first.
I can believe there is no rayman in that platform bundle.... the last one would have been a hit! The twisted dream looks really interesting though... hard decision...

Fred_DM: his point is that he has to re-buy games he already owns in order to get the special discount on the games he actually wants.
Well, Fred_DM, thanks for explaining what was obvious!

My point, however, is that he cannot seriously expect GoG to grant him the full 75% off, only because he has bought some of the games at an earlier time somewhere else.

And let's not forget: even if he decides to pass on the games he already owns he still gets a decent 50% off on the remaining games.

And apart from that: how many of those games you and me and everyone else have purchased here on GoG, we did already own on Disk, CD, DVD or as a downloadable .exe from some of GoGs Digital Competitors?

Heck, I actually thought, that was the original point in GoGs existence: being able to rebuy / replay games, that we once owned (or still own), but cannot get to run (hassle-free) on our modern systems.

Out of the 193 games I purchased here on GoG, at least 80% are games I did already own before - some of them even twice.

EDIT: To make my point more clear:

Out of the actual "Platformers Reborn Pack", I already own Giana Sisters (I was a Backer of their KS-Campaign, so I received a DRM-free and a Steam-Version), Capsized and Snapshot (Humble Bundle?)...so only Pid remaining.

If I was interested in that, I could get it now for $4,99 instead of the usual $9,99...which is a good deal on its own, OR I could pay $6,22 more for the complete bundle and purchase with that the comfort of having all those games, easy accessable, under one roof.

Now, I'm not interested in Pid, but if I was - I wouldn't complain here, that I don't get the 75% off, unless I rebuy three games I already payed for in other stores.

It's called "common sense".
