Pond86: Tbh its a shame they didn't follow Steam's lead on bundles.

On Steam if you buy a bundle then usually the price is cheaper for the bundle as it excludes titles you already own.
Actually GOG had implemented the same, customer friendly behavior with their old bundles. They only switched to this new, intransparent and customer unfriendly behavior with their new collections.

dudalb: Ealier in this thread GOG explained that other companies programmed and sold the Mac/Linux versions (I guess 2k decided not to do the ports themselves and licenced them out) and the makers of the Mac/Linux versions did not want to remove the DRM for a GOG release.
I pointed this out in that thread, but the people there just ignored it and..after attacking me, continueing to rant about how evil GOg was.
That can be said about Feral (that they are pro-DRM), but so far I didn't know that Virtual Programming are pro-DRM as well. Do you have any statements from about about it?
Anyone know if bioshock infinite is the same? its the same game with all the dlc right? nothing altered like metro or something?
Thank you very much for Obduction! :-D

B1tF1ghter: The thing is that Feral ports can be made drm-free VERY easily with certain LITERALY official method (go to their github and check out for yourself) and very little amount of people actually know that...
(Luke)
Can you be more specific?

faroot: Well ok I can go search I guess; I know what malloc and phoronix and git and curl are, but I don't move in those rev-eng circles I suppose, so that's kind of a random list of stuff to show that you're in the in-group and most of us are not? Yes, I believe you, you know the relevancy of those symbols, and I and others don't?

Something more explanatory would be nice.
Read the post that I quoted. I was indirectly questioning that Feral provides source code to mitigate the Steam DRM.

That are the projects of Feral's GitHub account. Most of them are forks of other people's code. None of them seems helpful to circumvent any DRM at first glance.

Your memory is very different than mine. When did that happen?

Because I've been wishing that Gog did that kind of thing with bundles for something like a decade, and for all that time that has been one of my big reasons to continue to buy on Steam, rather than just on Gog. And continues to be so.

DRM-free is great, but that bundle issue is a huge deal -- rebuying things on Gog that I already bought on Gog is illogical at best, especially budget-wise.

Ok, cool, but for those of us who are not programmers (although I am) or are not deeply involved in these particular issues (I, for one, am not), listing things like "rpmalloc" with no explanation is simply puzzling, although I am capable of understanding if there were context.

But now you are explaining a bit and giving some context, which is what I hoped for, so thank you.

No, eiii is right, they did that in the past, although mostly with very huge bundles, like all of the D&D games. The more you already owned, the cheaper the bundle would be, and if you bought a gift code, you could split it, but if you only owned a few, you had to spend a lot in order to profit from the higher bundle discounts, so it was only partially more customer-friendly.
Thank You GOG for the free game.

Now lets spend some money :)
Thank you GOG so much for Bioshock Infinite! You're the best!!! :)

i miss the 3 tier freebies thing. the more you spend, the more you get. not too excited about this promo tbh. the past few weekly sales had some really good discounts but i waited to bag some freebies. looks like i missed out on both. bioshock sure looks interesting though

Btw. the list had a header and I still think that it is obvious that that list contains the contents of Feral's GitHub if you consider the parts of the post that I quoted and I consider that “in-group” narrative very condescending.
Obduction looks great, thank you!
Difficult to navigate shop.

And every time I got excited on a title.... I already own it... :(

Ok, thanks, I will assume you and eiii (and others) are right, and that I just missed it or forgot or something.

So back to the original topic:Still, we customers want Gog to make that the normal case again, since currently it does not seem to be the case.

If I have bought #1 and #3 in a series, I personally will *not*, ever, *EVER* buy the bundle of #1 + #2 + #3 at a price that does not discount my past buys of #1 and #2, and it's actually insane for the publishers to think that any of us would, no matter how many dollar signs light up in the publisher's eyes, hoping that we will re-buy and re-buy and re-buy the same content.

This is not some luxury extra feature, this is just common sense. If we have already bought most of the components of a bundle, then most of us expect a future discount on that bundle to reflect that. It's illogical to the extreme to expect us to re-buy a bundle at full bundle price when wel have already paid for some of its components.

This kind of discounting is up to the publlsher on Steam, and some screw it up (in recent memory, the puzzle game dev/pub "Blender Games" -- idiots on that topic, and you can quote me) -- but still this common-sense kind of discount ("you don't have to pay for stuff you already paid for") is more common than not on Steam, regardless of some stupid exceptions, but is *currently* not to be found on Gog.

Come on Gog, don't make us pay twice for things in bundles that we already bought. This is just common sense. Your competition already does the right thing on that topicl.
