In a fit of madness, or perhaps simple idiocy, I bought three more. I run with scissors, too.

I got:

Republique ($24.99)
Beyond Good and evil ($9.99)
We are the Dwarves ($24.99)

... and actually, that's a reasonably good haul. $60 in games for $9, 85% discount. And while I might not have bought any of these games on my own... they all look worth a try.
Just bought 5 piñatas and got:

Stories Untold
Metro: Last Light Redux
Independence War Deluxe
Enter the Gungeon
Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak

And this is where i stop. :p

I can say i'm happy since i got lucky not to own any of the games elsewhere.
Thank you sedricm for the Pinata I just couldn't bust :)

Thanks also to Onsdag for keeping up with this better than I could :)
List updated. Happy to help serve the community with this effort. :)
after a lot of rubbish (imo) from earlier days, I decided to buy one more and received Shadow Warrior 2 - been on my want list for a long time, so all is forgiven GOG.
Not entirely sure why I gave in, but I bought three pinatas. Hooooo boy.

Actually, it didn't turn out bad from a worth perspective!

SWAT 4 Gold Edition - $9.99 (currently $5.99)
Man O' War - Corsair - $29.99 (currently $22.49)
SOMA - $24.99 (currently $8.99)

Of course, they're in genres that I don't particularly care for, but who knows? Maybe I'll find some enjoyment in them. :)
This topic was amazing to me. I thought most people liked GOG for the old games, but most people apparently only want the new ones.

There's only so many good old games available! The classics are what drew me to this site initially, but the DRM free is what keeps me here.

SargeSmash... It is the weirdest thing, but this site refuses to let me post a reply with your post quoted... very strange. Corsair is a game I want to love, but those reviews, ugh... Such a great IP too; I wish there were more good games in the Warhammer universe. SOMA is supposedly exceptional though.

Overall I'd say you did pretty well, grats!

There's plenty of old games on Steam these days. What we come here for are the DRM-free ones.
Let's see, first time doing this, and what did I get...

-Slave Zero. Okay, heard about it from LGR, made sound like it's a fun game, will try this.
-Political Animals. Heh, looks kinda cute. Not really the type of game I'll play, but okay.
-Men of War. Not really a fan of RTS these days, sadly.
-Bastion. Already got it on Steam, but nice to have a DRM-free copy as well.
-The Whispered World: Special Edition. Been meaning to try this out.
-Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition. I've only played a bit of the original. Let's see about this one.

Thought I did okay, especially with Bastion and Baldur's. Not to mention two others I've thought about trying out.

Well, most of the old games included in the draw are rather bad, and almost expensive at the price of a Pinata... aside from that, for something you don't want to play any price is a bad price.
Second roll:

Hard West
Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?!
Shardlight
Blackhole
Stories Untold
SWAT 4: Gold Edition
Bionic Dues

At least the second go is better than the first. Hard West, Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! and Stories Untold look interesting. I already own Shardlight on steam and the rest don't interest me at all. So only four of the thirteen games I bought might get played, and they are all cheap games to boot. I didn't get anything close to the value of what I spent, therefore, I will not participate in any similar sales in the future.
(Previous purchases)

Spellforce platinum
7 kingdoms 2 hd
Journey of a roach
Expendable
Democracy 3 africa
Colonization
Conquest of camelot, the search o the grail
7 legion
Abbadon the last fortres

Today buy another and I got this

Eador imperium

Finally spend € 26.9 on 10 Piñatas, In general I have mixed feelings, some are well and others do not interest me too much.
15 pinata
got

today ----------

Cossacks 3 (10.09€)
Pilot Brothers (5.39€)
Caesar (5.59€)
Imperium Galactica (4.49€)
Beyond Good & Evil (4.49€)

yesterday-----------

Space Rangers HD : A War Appart (13.29€)
Memoria (19.99€)
The Whispered World (19.99€)
Freddy Pharkas : Frontier Pharmacist (5.59€)
Drox Operative (17.79€)
Victor Vran (4.99€)
The Shivah (4.49€)
Annoa 1404 (13.29€)
Democracy 3 (22.13€) (looks like a crappy game from 2013 lol, why so expensive in the first place :D )
Infinium Strkie (8.89€)

is it me, or let's say my hypothesis is:
fewer expensive pinatas than cheap
=>meaning that at the end of the pinatas offers, you'll only get cheap one of 4-5€
(read somewhere they were re-adding game, but... which ones :) since i already bought the interesting ones a long time before :) )

So i gambled...
My opinion ?

since my backlog was already horrific :) (> 300 games),
you are better buying what you will play instead of gambling :D

i'm stupid and i know it
(i'll check most half of the games from yesterday though, none from today

Well I had limited money for this, but wanted to give it a try. I was hoping that the games I got were not too old and not a shooter, while not getting any game I had elsewhere. Did one on the first day, one over the last couple days,

Got Imperium Galactica (well so much for the old games)
then I got Pillars of Eternity which normally I'd be very excited about, but I already have on Steam. So I turned it in for a refund and got today...Dead Synchronicity, Which I don't think I've heard of before, but at least its recent.

So I didn't do too badly I guess? :)
