GOG 2014 Fall Sale

Unread postby Kalah » 15 Nov 2014, 20:31

<img src="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/images ... _small.jpg" align=right>Our good friends over at Good Old Games are having a <a href="/http://www.gog.com/news/2014_drmfree_big_fall_sale" target="_blank"><b>fall sale</b></a>, with lots of discounts and good offers on their DRM-free stock of downloadable games.



In case you don't know what GOG is (if you've been living in a cave or whatever), it's an online store where you can download games; they have removed any and all forms of DRM/copy protection and made the old games possible to play on modern computers, via in-built emulators. It's completely legal, so don't worry about that either. Anyway, they have lots of old games, as well as quite a few not-so-old ones. So what's this fall sale about, then? Well, let's take a quick look at what's on offer:



The <a href="/http://www.gog.com/promo/big_fall_heroe ... 1114">HoMM series bundle</a> (HoMM 1-5) is at -75% for 17 more hours, that's 5 games for $14.95.

<a href="/http://www.gog.com/promo/big_fall_depon ... 4">Deponia 1-3</a> is on a similar -75% spot sale, at $8.97. Move fast and you can get 'em.



In addition to 1-day offers like these, there are "flash sales" lasting only 40 minutes. Check in regularly if you want to keep an eye on interesting deals.



I'm also seeing lots of goodies at -50%: Baldur's Gate, Mount & Blade, Neverwinter nights, Icewind dale, The longest journey, Star Wars, Jade empire, Dungeons & Dragons ... <i>so much good stuff!</i>

Bought part of the bundle, 2, 3 and 4. Listening to 2's OST. SOOOOOOOOOO NOSTALGIC. B-)

Pisses me off. Would love to have ordered the Ultimate Dungeons and Dragons Bundle, but it's way too fricking easy to miss a 24 hour sale. At least they could offer it at non-sale price, which I would pay, but apparently you get one chance and that's it. I notice they leave old news up on their web site. I guess that's sort of a "nah, nah, nah, you missed us" attitude. In other words, if a sale is no longer available, take it off your damn website!

@Plumber: Expect the next Sale during the christmas season - it is very likely that there will be again a D&D Bundle at a large discount - just visit the gog Site once every day and you will have a good chance to complete your D&D collection.

Yeah, the idea of a spot sale is to keep the potential customers waiting for the deal they want, by encouraging/forcing them to keep close tabs on the site, thereby increasing the chance that they will pick up some more items while they wait.
