GOG Fall Insomnia Sale: Finding new ways to piss you off

[ImpulsE69]

Ya..i think this is the annoying part....and since they are just cycling it will get worse every time they come back around. Eh, nothing I really want anyway.

HoMM 3 is hard......

I feel pretty dumm.

Meh, I need sleep and have a huge backlog of games to get through (not to mention forthcoming kickstarters). Think I'll pass. Most of these will likely be around for the GOG Christmas sale.

Lol, they offered 50 System Shock 2 for free. It was literally gone in about 7 seconds.

Definite bias for those near gog 🙁 New form of twitch shooting.

I'm in Delaware and I'm doing fine. I just got Blood Pack: One Full Unit and Master of Magic for less than $3. Already have SS2 anyway. 🙂

God this is worse than a steam sale. Virtually everything is <$2, so unless I know it's shit it's practically justified. 😛

They have a deal for a game with a set amount of copies it will sell. When those copies are sold a new game goes on sale and it keeps going on like that. Every once in awhile they will throw in a free game with limited quantities as well.

So basically they want you to watch their sale all the time and if you aren't really quick to jump on a deal you'll miss it. Way to totally negate a big digital plus of not having to worry about "stock" and just piss people off that weren't living on your site practically. Saw one free game pop up, it was gone before I could even get the cart to load up.

All I can say is, GOG, I love you guys but you really do seem to try and find new ways to piss your customers off.

That's exactly why some put GOG titles on TPB. 🙁

It's really not that bad. Yeah the free games go in seconds but the vast majority of the rest stick around for at least a minute or two, often longer. I'm working online, so I check GOG every few minutes to see what's going on. Everything 70%+ off so it's dirt cheap.

*shrug* Worth it to me. I'd prefer they just do a traditional sale, but cheap games are cheap games.

Uh oh, just tried getting Eador and kept getting a message that there was a problem with my payment. Kept going back the page and tried processing. Did it about 4 times, kept getting message. then checked my game library, and the game is sitting there. Now, I wonder if I bought it 4 times!

I doubt it. GOGs policy is you can only buy once. That said it should have told you you owned the game after the 1st try. I dunno.

yeah, looks like you're right and it only went through once.
