THIS DOES NOT CONSOLE ME! That's like telling a grieving widow, "You really should have taken the plane, not the express train, then you might have heard your husband's last words."

So I dash upstairs to check, and see Sam & Max - Beyond Time and Space for a whopping 90% off and figure that even though I have a bunch of Sam & Max games, that it isn't my preferred genre so I'll grab it as a gift for someone and *BAM* GOG gifts it to ME! I guess I'm meant to have the game. And for those wondering, it was my er....*counts* 20th game from the Insomnia sale(10th non-gift).
So that has me wonder....can I win a free copy of a game I own? It doesn't appear that way.

It would be funny if they just decided to drop the price even further, or simply make it free just to speed things up. Which would nice, cause I missed Shadowrun earlier and remain hopeful of a having a second go at it!

So hey putting a game up for sale that like 80% of the GOG market literally can't run stalls things quite a bit eh.

You don't really need to, if you already have a game on GOG, then the check-out page would state that you must buy it as a gift - see attached pic.

Since Alan is taking forever, if you only get one more game from the sale, what is the one you are waiting for?

Carmageddon 2 seems to have been a popular gift. I accidentally hit the Buy button on my tablet with my thumb and got it for free when I didn't even want it. I'm going to see if GOG will swap it for a gift code after the sale has finished as I haven't downloaded it. If they agree, I'll probably post it in the gifting thread.

Well, it hasn't gone through round two yet, so you've got a lot better chance than having to wait for round three.
