From the way the clock works one can know when the 6 millionth tick is tocked. But that clock is not real. So you can't base your buy off it for the win. Its a steady progression with no relation to real time sales. It's a farce. If your hoping to win based of it, you will lose. Its just marketing cheese. A shame to see GOG do it like this.

Tizzysawr: It actually counts game sales, not downloads. Its just terribly worded :P

swizzle66: Really? I thought that's what it would be, but the wording said "downloads." I picked up Planecape and Temple of Elemental Evil in the last sale, so I figured I'd save the ToEE download just to take a crack at being the six millionth. I know, it sounds stupid, but on the other hand, so many free games.
Oh apparently there was a double misunderstanding. I read this:

But now they say this:
http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/help_us_achieve_6_million_downloads_milestone/post36/?staff=yes

so yeah, its downloads.

Just like the way you would press the "download now" button to buy a game, and then press the "redownload" button to download it for the first time. One of the idiosyncrasies of the site.
Actually I bought whole catalog and now I'm waiting until counter will hit 5 999 700 and then my automated bot program will start downloading all of them at once.
I will win for sure and all of the games will be mine for free!!! HAHAHA....oh wait....

In answer to the title...not personally, no. ;)
Maybe I'll hold a contest like GOG is doing....gift every game in the catalog to the 6-millionth reply to this post.

But only the first reply from each person is counted, right? Oh, dammit.

Okay I'm in. Where's the counter? :-)

carnival73: It's all the doing of one poor bastard desperately trying to get that 6 million count.
And I bet they've also hired some poor unemployed bastard to type the numbers in for every individual sale, for like a week.

kodeen: I've been uploading games to GOG to make the counter go down.

Sorry about that.
Nice :)
