Narcia_: Well at least it's kind comforting (?) to know that Japanese companies aren't just doing it to us foreigners. They screw the local market pretty hard, too : / IMO, they should have put the Enix half in charge of the company after the merger because at least it seemed like they still cared about making fun games ... but I digress.

CarrionCrow: Enix makes me think of one thing - 7th Saga. And that game has been bugging the hell out of me with its existence for 20 years now.
Not a Dragon Quest fan? 7th Saga was pretty brutal. I never finished it, but I played it years ago. I don't even remember what I played it on O.o
FINALLY I can buy Democracy 3!!!!

tinyE: I just realized that the box shot of Democracy 3 is a fairly accurate drawing of me standing next to pretty much everyone I went to high school with. :P
I'll be kind and assume you're not the filthy hippy in the yellow.
Yawn, I'm going to bed now. Good night \ day

Congrats! :D May have to check it out in some other sells, looks interesting :)

agylardi: Really ? it is not so popular eh ? or, because people already have it ? I don't know how long Humans was running in round 1 and 2..
HMA is servicable, with decent play mechanics. And the chicken people are amusing. It just seems to lack the spark that makes it great. But it's certainly worth the price in this sale if you're a shmup fan. I'm pretty sure I paid more for it when I bought it here.

I know some schools are small, but calling two dudes a high school is a bit silly.

agylardi: Hmm. Missed the Shelter. Well, still waiting for Humans Must Answer.. but I need to go. Hopefully it appears before I go..

donsanderson: Check your PMs. ;)
Is this a joke? (the Humans Must Answer, not Shelter being missed or Don's generosity - I've learned from this sale neither of those things are to be questioned!)

vulchor: Woot!!! It's finally here!

Is Alien8n still hanging around? He wanted a copy for his daughter.
Have not seen him post in awhile. I remember him talking about that last night. I can buy it and hold just in case.

I think that's a coal miner. :)
Finally got the last game I wanted, excluding any other impulse purchases. Too bad I didn't get any freebies... Oh well, at least I can sleep and do other stuff now without constantly checking the site.

donsanderson: Be interesting to know whether GOG makes more from sales/promos or full price purchases.
If I'm not mistaken they've mentioned before that the big promos bring in the biggest revenue. It's not really a surprise though because there is almost zero per-unit cost to the games as they're just bits on a hard disk rather than in a warehouse consuming space that costs money, so the per game overhead is negligible. It comes down to cashflow in the end, and while some people will buy any game they want at it's regular price, they're going to be finicky about what specific games they'll pay full price for too, but when games are on sale people are more likely to buy them across the board and that means buying games they'd never pay full price for. Then there are people who generally wont pay full price for games at all, waiting for sales to do their bidding, or whom only will pay non-sale prices for those rare gems they just gotta have.

So promos like this bring out a lot of purchases that would just never happen at all and generate no cashflow as a result but end up generating cashflow due to the sale. If they end up selling 500 copies of a game at $2.49 in a promo versus selling 5 copies of it at $9.99 in the same timeframe not on promo, or even 50 copies of it non--promo, the promo pricing brings in more cashflow across the board. Plus, promos are intended not only to bring in more cashflow from existing customers and whimsical buys that would otherwise never happen, but to also draw in new customers to the site that wouldn't have purchased anything at all before, and then hopefully get the indoctrinated into the fold as repeat customers as well. :)

In short... they make a killing. :)
Did I missed Entomorph by chance? Not entirely even sure what it is but looks kind of cool

Edit: Oops, crap sorry. Just noticed the list. Nevermind. I'll catch it the next sale

It's all good, I'll get it for him if he doesn't answer my PM back before the sales done.
