phaolo: No more gambling promos pls :P
avatar
PaterAlf: Why not? If you don't like them, just don't participate. There are lots of normal promos all the time. One gambling promo a year won't hurt anyone. And for some of us it's the only chance to get some of the regional priced games very cheap and without regional pricing. :)

Some kind of a Memory promo would be cool. You see the cards for a short time then they are turned over and if you can find the ones that belong to a certain game, you'll get it. It will start very hard with expensive games and gets easier each round you don't succeed (but then you'll cheaper games).
I can't speak for him, but when they do one of those bullshit promos, it means we're not getting a proper one.

I probably shouldn't complain as these bullshit promos wind up making it really easy to not buy anything. I remember that stupid time machine sale. The only game that I was interested in for the entire sale came up immediately, so I literally slept through it.

These are cute gimmicks, but they don't make me want to go out and give them money. It's just so insulting.

Niggles: There are always a few whingers no matter what they do.....
There are, but not all whining is equally invalid. These promos are pretty insulting. I'm not taking off work and staying up all night because GOG expects me to. I'm not an addict. I'm not going to give them money on the off chance that I'll wind up with a game that I actually want.

It's even worse than that stupid "we're shutting down and taking your games with us lulz" event when they fully launched.

Exactly. Don't give them any ideas. We have enough of that stuff already.

I prefer a "normal" sale over a gambling promo. I don`t like to get random games which (perhaps) I don`t like or want. But as of last time I would just don`t buy something and wait for a "normal" sale with games I`m looking for.

1 inch = 2.54 cm. :-)

FTFY.

Kind of like the cat choosing to nap by the rocking chair, and then being surprised when his tail gets caught. :)

apehater: since gog had (so far) always a topic in its gambling promos (luck of the irish/pot of gold, mutator/mutation and piñata). i'm curious about its next gambling promo topic. any ideas?

i have one: russian roulette, you'll see 6 possible games in the checkout (probably 5 unpopular/cheap and one expensive) after completing the checkout you'll see which one of the six games you'd purchased.
How about an 'all or nothing' gamble? You pay the price of half the games you don't own yet, if you win, you will get the entire catalogue instead but if you loose the money is gone and you get nothing.

...the sad thing is, there would still be people who would take this 'challenge', gambling away hundrets of dollars.

Heck, when I saw this post I thought he was proposing:
5 in 6 chance you get the game you want...
1 in 6 chance your account gets deleted...

Now , THAT'S Russian Roulette...

Great idea. But if you get the bullet, it's not free. You just pay the Russian price!

I prefer a normal sale but a gambling sale that can be exploited (haha!) is good too! :D
