600+ games discounted by at least 50%, bundle deals up to 80% off, daily personal deals!

It is here: 2013 DRM-Free Winter Sale on GOG.com! The biggest, the loudest, the most varied, and the most exciting sale we've ever done begins now. How big is it? There are way over 600 games from our catalog steadily discounted by at least 50%. How loud is it? Let's just mention the fact, that we're opening with a triple nuclear blast, giving away Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics for FREE the next 48 hours. How varied is it? On top of regular discounts you'll have daily deals including games presented by YouTube personalities, hot thematic bundles chosen each day by our dear users, offered with up to 80% discounts, and--finally--daily personal deals where you pick one of the special offers available to you, and you only. How exciting is it? Well, you probably get the idea by now. So, there you have it: time to save BIG on the best games in history, available DRM-free for Windows and Mac.

This holiday season, your GOG.com Winter Sale experience include the company of Jesse Cox, Force Strategy Gaming, Dodger from Press Heart to Continue, and the YogsCast team. Each day we mash-up a classic game (or games) with it's modern successors and offer them with high discounts, while our tube-casting friends explain why they consider such a blend interesting and worth playing.

2013 DRM-Free Winter Sale Video Recommendations playlist

Section updated: Don't forget about your gamer friends that may not know GOG.com yet! Sadly, for the sake of unburdening what servers we have, we had to turn off the option for gifting free games. But you can always just let them know they can sign up with GOG.com and claim a free gift of Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics. On top of that, when they register to our service, they'll receive all the 12 free games we add to all the newly-created accounts. That way your friends will start their adventure with GOG.com with a collection of 15 great games total already on their virtual shelves! Be kind, share the good news! :-)

We'd also like to remind you, that all purchases on GOG.com are now covered with our new 30-day Worldwide Money Back Guarantee, so your holiday gaming shopping spree is safer than it ever was before.

Our 2013 DRM-Free Winter Sale will last until Sunday, December 29, at 1:59PM GMT. Happy holidays from GOG.com team, everyone! And again, sorry for the server issues in the initial hours of our sale.

Minmataro: I hate to do it but i have to be honest. I really, really hate the bundle deals GoG offers.

I don't want to buy a crazy selection of games for 75% off each... all i want to do is cherry pick my one or two games and be done with the sale.

Look i appreciate the sales, I love GoG but i just had to pass on two games on my wish list because they were part of todays bundle and i had no interest in the other games being offered... That kind of sucked tbh.
Yeah I thought about getting Blood 2 but I had no interest in the other games in today's bundle. I know tomorrow that D&D/Baulder's Gate bundle will be something I will probably be taking advantage of so I will have to save my money and wait for another sale on the game not to mention the money I will be using on the likely other goodies that will be popping up this winter. I like their bundles but I do agree I wish i could get 75% off a particular game, but its only a few bucks difference.

This site is great enough I can let it pass, love to have a sale for create your bundle someday though!

Are all the "normal" discounts going to last until the end of the sale, unlike the last time where games from some publishers were only discounted for the first week?

xy2345: But I agree, that the whole forced google+ integration is bs. I didn't have a google+ account before that. Now I have one, but of course it does not contain real information about me and I'm not using it. It only exists to allow me to comment on youtube.

rtcvb32: And then they wonder why there was suddenly so many trolls. Curiously the 'new comment system' has so many negative votes it's a wonder how they thought this was a good idea. Google+ so far is a failed system, not necessarily bad, but being forced to use it gives a bad taste and makes everyone hate it. A good number of people aren't really aware of the integration since they had to get a Google+ for newer users (the last 2 years?).

I wonder how many content publishers are going to just walk away, since commenting by itself is such a pain in the butt now to try and get back with everyone. Course as I mentioned before, TotalBiscuit bypasses the comment system by referring you to Reddit instead. Seems like a workable system.
I haven't commented on YouTube since they instituted the new comment system and watch far less videos as well.

Problem is, there isn't much of an alternative. I used to watch Daily Motion videos, but now they've started adding 2-3 adverts in the videos and a couple of them in the MIDDLE of the video, so I no longer go to DM.

And yep, Google + is garbage. Forcing it on people is the only way they can get most people to use it. Kind of laughable really.

They should unless GOG Admins say otherwise. Past few sales if publishers were only going to make certain games available for a period GOG usually advise as such.

Got super lucky and owned every game in today's promo except the two I wanted - Carmageddon 2 and Hotline Miami. Hopefully I'll see Deadly Premonition in one of my everyday gifts:)

Fun, guess I won't be using it too much. I only have 2 short test videos, but if they intend on doing crap like that I won't use it as a base of operations.

I've heard 80% of the Google+ accounts are effectively blank and empty, created as a side effect of people making Gmail accounts, and now for people so they can comment on YouTube. YouTube may be a social environment, but it's not FaceBook and it's not going to get any better with forced changes. I wonder if other companies are going to start pulling support for using YouTube entirely, but there still needs to be another medium everyone can use, and no one's made it yet.
