Can I send you my wishlist? ;-p

Better, but still not good. German law says that vouchers (and I guess a gift code counts as a voucher) have to be valid for at least one year. There are exceptions, but these are very rare (the free gift codes would be acceptable for example).

I'm not that upset (even if I wanted to use the code for my traditionel Christmas Avatar giveaway), because the bundle price was awesome and still very worth the money. But I hope that this doesn't become the new standard for gift codes and bundles. Otherwise I would probably stop buying gifts.

Three games in package (and next one free game is coming tommorow) is cheaper than one Kingdom Come solo even for promo price. Is this legal at all? ;) (I mean it's an unexpected nice suprise for me)

You serious? You think 2 months is acceptable? I don't give a damn how good value you think the bundles are: Paid for game codes should. not. expire.

I never wanted this shitty expiring code for stuff I already owned, why the hell can't we just get credit like bundles used to do? Or the cost of owned items deducted from the bundle... You know, something that isn't blatantly anti-consumer?

Also telling people they can just buy the games separately when the solo prices are much higher than in the bundle? Well I'd probably get moderated for expressing how I feel about that little piece of advice.

2 Month expiration period for a purchase is unacceptable. Why are people forced into games that they already own with these bundles? This never was an issue before.

I would even go further: If I BUY three games since three games are adverized I expect to get three actual games - either in form of a redeemable key or in form of a giftable key. I don't expect to have to deal with ANY kind of expiry date AT ALL - especially since none is listed on the product page. If GOG simply cannot handle such offers I'd suggest to not do such things at all (or at least I'd suggest them to talk with their legal department before doing such things). Sorry - but this settles it for me. While it still would be a great offer to get just Kingdom Come alone for this price I just won't buy because I simply cannot support such business practices with a clean concsience. I know GOG did not have any bad intention but this is hardly legal and they should have thought about this earlier.

And to top that the immediate bundle contains two games that are outdated on GOG.

It's not actually good thinking in terms of advertizing but it's legal. Selling games without the notification they will expire however is not - meaning the contract is invalid and everybody would have the possibility to withdraw or refund.

You are not buying 3 games, you are buying right to add 3 games to your GOG library and since you already own some of the games, then you get this bonus from GOG - possibility to gift extra codes for limited time, as noted on 3 game-packet page. As you said, Kingdom Come alone is worth the asked price, so for most it is still an OK offer.

Edit: I just noticed that it IS now mentioned on the product page (which was not the case before). So disregard my complaint.

Unless, of course, the moderator makes a mistake.

(Or, of course, the moderator is being malicious and shouldn't be a moderator.)

(Note: To be clear, I haven't seen either happen on this forum yet.)

Curious. Is this (code expiration) the new thing with "gift codes" going forward or just the anniversary bundles being offered? I suspect it is because you don't want codes being resold into oblivion given price being offered.

The idea that you're purchasing the right to add something to your library rather than purchasing a game is lamentable to begin with, since that goes against what gog says it's all about. We're supposed to "own" the things we purchase. That's their words, not mine, which appear to have been for marketing purposes only.

I was disappointed to see that they weren't adjusting the bundles for games owned, but that was forgivable. Having the "bonus" code expire is not. It's not a bonus, it is a good I purchased. This is just terrible business practice, and goes against the only reason I purchase games from this company. I purchase things here to own them, not to rent them. The stance on these "bonus" codes, plus the change from labelling owned games as "owned" to "in library" concerns me.
