Got Simcity 4 Deluxe. Seems fair to me. Haven't played Simcity in like a decade, so I'm sure it'll be fun/nostalgic

So I decided to write a quick and dirty script to help people check their true odds of getting a game they already own on PC. I wrote it in powershell, and it does not appear I can attach the file in .ps1 or .zip format so I will place the code here. If you are on any modern version of Windows, it should run in the native powershell_ise.
Personal Results: I have just under a 30% chance of receiving a game I already own outside of GoG. It is a fairly high risk, and in my case, I would be better off purchasing as a gift and risk getting one of the 4 games I already own on GoG. I still carry the same risk of getting something I already have on Steam, but at least then I could gift it out.
Instructions: Copy everything below starting with # Mystery Sale List line to the script pane in powershell, then look through the $gameList, copy and paste each game you already own and either place in the $oGoG list, or the $oSteam list. In the powershell_ise.exe window, click the green arrow to run the script. I have left my lists in as an example of what it should look like, but obviously you should remove anything there that doesn't apply to your digital pile of games.
And now the code:
# Mystery Sale List

I got Stronghold Crusader HD, which I probably never would've picked up on my own, but I've been meaning to try more RTS games anyway, so thanks GOG!

I got adventure game, it looked really good - yet I played these in my childhood and right now that game type is completely not my piece of meal. So donated to those who might be happier about it.
