skeletonbow: Oh I've been here the whole time so I know that. :) I have a spare Torchlight code or so in my own gifts page still I think. Either way though, there are people right now today on Earth who play video games that are GOG customers who do not own Torchlight, probably more people that don't own it than do I'd bet (although there's no way to measure that currently), but at a grander scale there are more people on Earth who do not even know what GOG.com is right now let alone have an account here let alone own Torchlight here, and new people join GOG every day and GOG doesn't put a free copy of Torchlight into their account automatically. Likewise there is no automated messaging system that sends a message to every new GOG customer saying "By the way, we gave away a zillion copies of Torchlight 2+ years ago just so you know.", so there are both millions of people out there who don't own Torchlight (current customer or otherwise) and who aren't even aware the game has ever been free before.

So despite its popularity as a past freebie, and despite many people having spare codes for it, everyone does not already own it and it's a cool and popular game that new people coming along that never heard of it are going to be interested in and some will want to get a copy. I mean from a purely logical perspective this is the only thing that actually makes sense. :) Now some people might say "Torchlight? Really, everyone has that already." and just be throwing that out there jokingly or sarcastically or whatever, but some people say it like they really truly mean it and that just doesn't hold up to logical analysis - that's all I'm pointing out. :) I mean even if one defined "everyone" as less than every single living person, and instead defined it as "80% of all GOG customers" I would doubt 'everyone' has Torchlight. :)

The proof is in the pudding though, and you can always find someone out there asking for a copy of Torchlight in the forums rather regularly, showing that "everyone" does not already own it despite how shocked some people are to learn this. :)

Just to be clear though, I'm not judging anyone, but rather I'm just making an observation of how humourous I find people's reactions to people asking about Torchlight or similar, whether they are sarcastic or literally dumbfounded that someone doesn't own it already. :)

Tarnicus: You and you're typical awesome logical position! <3 EVERYONE in the world has Torchlight, didn't you get the mass email from the Overlords that told you so? I didn't either :P (but I do have it on 3 sites) lol

MarkoH01: Watching your rep I knew my bribe wouldn't last long ;)

MarkoH01: When did the cookie monster wake up? Hey, I haven't even noticed you yet. Glad to have you back!

trentonlf: It has not appeared yet :)

PaterAlf: Woke up four hours ago, but had some work to do, before I could return to this lovely thread.

Seems I missed an epic keaning while I was asleep. But when I look at the front page it seems the next one (or even a double-keaning) is already there.

skeletonbow: Or... it did appear, but it's faster than light so nobody saw it! ;)

trentonlf: Torchlight, really? Everyone has that! :-P

Tarnicus: In order for your bribe to work, you would have to manipulate the economy of scale to outweigh my buying power. And that isn't feasible given I have 3 balls of yarn, a scaled rainbow fish, and 2 twigs; in my world you just can't beat that kind of economic domination! Of course if they were scaled to world market value, that would equate to a pebble, a slight breeze, and a slight uncomfortable itch in the wrong part of your pants.

skeletonbow: Or... it did appear, but it's faster than light so nobody saw it! ;)

Geralt_of_Rivia: Sure, but what good will it do to create 100 accounts? You won't get a single gift key out of them since none of the accounts have the game.

Maxvorstadt: Hmm, before the sale started there were 960 games on GoG. When the sale started they added a few games temporarely for the sale, it where then 965: now those temporarely available games are gone, but two new games were added to the catalogue, Trainfever and some puzzle game, So there should be 962 games in GoGs catalogue, but there are only 961 games. Hmm, weird.

skeletonbow: Very weird because it shows 963 in my browser.

skeletonbow: Well... I do it out of great respect for the late Leonard Nimoy, may his atoms live long and prosper wherever they happen to be at the moment. :)

You have to wonder though... How many games like Myst could I solve in a month if I didn't get vacuumed into the forums during sales promos? LOL
