CarrionCrow: The speed of games departing imparts a feeling of increased satisfaction, like a race you managed to win in order to obtain something you wanted. The hugely decreased prices increase the ability of people to purchase things not only for themselves, but for each other.
Take someone who has to work/go to school/whatever. They try to stay up for a certain game, but they can't. They start to feel down over that. But then, someone they don't even know steps in and gets it for them. Not only does it make the recipient feel better in feeling that someone cares for them and their situation enough to look out for them and spend money on them, the giver feels good in being able to do something good for another person.
Even with the slow-moving games, it makes for an environment that fosters communal bonding, even if it's something as silly as a bunch of people going in unison, "Dear gods, will this game EVER go away!?!?!" Also, it provides another opportunity for people to feel good about themselves via the act of doing something for others. Watch the people who take one for the team as it were, buying slow movers in an effort to make the process along for everyone.
richmondody: That's not fun for me though. I wanted to buy a lot of games on this sale but I wasn't able to because I was at work, asleep or like what happened awhile ago, on my way home and it was really frustrating. While it's great the community steps up for the other members here, it doesn't sit well with me that I have to ask someone to buy the games that I want for me because the format of the sale prevents me from getting the game myself. However. you make a fair point on that it's the community that makes this event fun. With that being said though, I would still argue that the sales format itself is bad.

richmondody: Well, if the appeal is more about the forum rather than the sale, then I concede. That being said, this is still a really bad format for a sale and I wish they don't do it again.
HypersomniacLive: Why shouldn't they if people like it? As I've said elsewhere, GOG runs a good variety of Sales all year long, participate in those that appeal to you and ignore those that don't, but let others that enjoy them have their fun. ;-)
