Tarnicus: And by doing so I'm making myself a prime target for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_engineering_%28security%29

There is one person in particular who comes to GOG every sale to scam people under various names(no I won't titillate your ego by mentioning you by name) and I'm curious to see if I attract this person's attention. I know exactly how I'd use social engineering to con myself but have faith in my intuition. It is never wrong and I've learned to trust it wholeheartedly. If something doesn't "feel right" then it isn't. I might not know the reason but that feeling is always right.

If only we could catch that person- Hire the FBI and all will be well

Austrobogulator: That's weird, I've never seen that - both times that I got a freebie, I just got a confirmation message that says the game has been added into my account.
This is the screen you were taken to in round #1, later they changed it to auto-redeem if you didn't already have the game and now it seems to have been brought back again.

truhlik77: Is this real, or Gimp fake :)
It was real, but unfortunately it was only 18 copies, and they've sold like hot bread :/

Verdeloth: Interesting, Theme Park with those quadrillion copies to sell took that at the end to 7th place in the Top Sellers list - but still didn`t top some of the most popular games like Broken Age and Democracy, which I suppose generate a lot of sales also outside this promo.
Does anybody know over which time frame the top sellers are calculated? To me it doesn't look like these are the all time top sellers.

IAmSinistar: Still catching up with last night's posts, so sorry if this was already provided. Here's the screengrab another user posted, I saved a copy for myself.

It was a joke from GOG at the end of round 1.
It only appeared for a few seconds but was very fun. :)

For all-time top sellers, simply click the Browse games button. The Top 3 are Planescape:Torment, Baldur's Gate 2 and Dungeon Keeper 2.

That's the reason why I;m without JK. In count of 18k copies, that would be definitively at least one for me :)

Apparently it's real. I guess it's the big enkeane.

Top Sellers on the homepage have a very short cycle, like top sellers in the last week or two. Maybe even the last 48 hours. However, games over in the browse games section ordered by Bestselling are the best sellers of all time. (To the best of my knowledge).

Pidgeot: Image is entirely real. There weren't *actually* 18000 copies of the game, though.
If I remember correctly it was up only for a few seconds, but could be interesting to know what happened, if someone managed to click Buy Now on this.
"Hell Yeah, you have won the internet", or something similar? :)

Verdeloth: They have changed the screen, as they had to add an option to gift this free copy (popular demand maybe).
GOG probably received lots of support calls of people asking to convert games to gift codes.

During the Fall Insomnia Promo, last year, I heard a rumor that GOG's support team rallied an angry mob to hunt down the ones that came with this idea for a promo.

Finally got the kids off to school, and my whole attention is now focused on Gog.com! Well here and TMC.

Was wondering if anyone has a gift key for King's Quest 4-6?!
I have keys for several different games with which to make a trade.

I take it this guy has been around for a while? It sickens me that there are people like that in the world, but maybe it's just because I'm a big softie at heart.

ironttm: Hello everyone.

I got to say, i am in my 35s now, and pretty damn hard to stay up all night for this thing, because i work and all that. Truth be told, i am watching this all the time in work anyway, so the impact is almost the same.. :P. I wish there were sites like GOG back in my day.

So how many rounds we have left? anyone knows?
avatar
Grargar: Last round with 25 games left.
Thanks Guys....

So i guess there will be war soon on the best games....
Get ready then, and may the man with the easiest card number wins!!!
