Stilton: Dare I say that that almost sounds sensible? Drip-feeding (GOG-stylee) makes people come back to see what else is going cheap, but there's an awful lot of appeal for the money-managers who want to see everything from the outset in order to know how much they can get their sweaty hands on. Shame you won't actually
own those games, though (Steam-not-so-stylee). I'm a moaner, but I'll suckle the GOG tit. :-)
CarrionCrow: On the most basic level, I think that's the best route to take if you have to choose between the two.
I'll sing the praises of Insomnia all day long, but I know perfectly well that GOG will never try to use that during a massive revenue stream like the end of the year what-not.
Between seeing everything and the aforementioned once daily drip-feed (which will inevitably turn into repeats for the daily deals by the end of the sale), I'd much rather see it all at once.
You're absolutely right, which is why I have boatloads of games here, and 95 percent bundle fodder on the other.
Another point comes to mind for why that won't happen here -
The prices here would have to be higher to compensate for the longer duration of sale items being made available. The competition can get away with that. Not sure that GOG can.
Would they? I'd've (mmm, apostrophes) thought that it would be down to units sold regardless of how long the sale runs. Cheaper units means more sold. Longer sale and cheaper units means more more sold. I think Steam have low low prices because they're a behemoth and just about everything and everyone wants to be sold through them. Sooo much of whats available is Steam-only that its almost sickening. But who wants to run with the crowd? Gimme GOG.
