With 700+ games discounted up to 90% off, daily special Bundle Deals, a constant stream of exciting Flash Sales, and some fantastic surprise giveaways, we launch into the season of gaming joy!

The biggest celebration of DRM-Free gaming this season is right now, right here on GOG.com! It's warm and nice outside, the summer draws ever closer, so let's make sure it's full of fantastic games. There's no one good way to spend your summer, but we know well that gaming can make every single one of them better. So, whether you plan to stay inside, hike into the wilderness, or take a boat into the calm sea, we'll make sure your laptop is filled with great DRM-Free games you can enjoy anytime, anywhere. To that end, we're holding our [url=http://www.gog.com]2014 DRM-Free Summer Sale!

Each day we'll present you with at least two special Bundle Deals with a selection of of great classics and indies available up to 90% off! As usual, you'll be able to buy just selected titles out of the bundle with a slightly lower discount, or complete your collection with just the ones you're missing, retaining the higher discount rate. Let's take a look at our offers for today, shall we?

Today, we seriously mix things up to bring you both lighthearted comedy as well as dark and morbid horror. The Legacy of Kain Saga is the Full House of gaming with its family themes and colorful presentation. Across four episodes ironically titled Soul Reaver, Soul Reaver 2, Blood Omen 2, and Defiance the series explores the relation between Kain, a authoritative father with obvious god complex, and Raziel, his rebellious son with questionable fashion sense. The story also includes many of their relatives from extended family, that cannot help but to make a mess in their imaginary homeland called Nosgoth. Hilarity ensues! All this cheerful moments for only $5.96 (that's 75% off!). The other of our offers today, is bound to chill the blood in your veins with its terrifying setting alone. The Deponia Complete Trilogy takes place on a distant planet. A planet, that long ago must have been not so different from our own Earth. Yet now, it is a grim and dark place that suffered a tragic environmental disaster. The surface of the planet is now completely covered with waste. Toxic rain flushes the pollution deep into the ground, poisoning it and making the land barren. Way above, there's the remaining enclave of civilization, housing the remnant of the human race. Now imagine one of them, a defenseless girl, falls down to the toxic junkyard below. Even though she doesn't die instantly poisoned with every imaginable toxin, her future looks grim. The wasteland is filled with danger, and soon she'll find out that she is not alone among the towering piles of garbage. What strange mutated monsters could have survived in such conditions? And what do they eat? The horror! All the thrills for just $11.97 (that's 80% off!). There you have it, a mix of laughter and cries of despair to fill your weekend with gripping gaming. Or did we overdo the mixing?

On top of that, almost all of our catalog has been discounted by up to 50%. On top of that, our front page is overflowing with excellent Flash Sales on single games. You can grab them up to 90% as well, but don't take to long, as they come and go pretty fast! Why don't you head out to GOG.com front page, and see what's happening right NOW!

CrashNBrn: I prefer GamersGate than Steam directly, when possible. At least then you have a KEY thats not tied to your Steam account until you add it, plus 5% in 'blue coins'.
On that same note you could buy it on Steam as a 'Gift' in your inventory, and it wouldn't be tied to your Steam account yet. But no 5% blue coins in that case :)
It seems that the promo is going in circle, which is good because I missed Spelunky (I thought I had 33 hours left, not 33 minutes). But I guess I missed it again.

Will there be a final round where games are on high promo for a longer period before the end?

jackster79: You really think we have seen that many in the flash rotation? I know it seems like a lot of games came and went but not sure I would put it at 200. Was thinking maybe 100 to 150 max.
Naw, I don't think it, I know it. I've been watching the sale and tracking it since the start along with many others and there is a tracking thread that has tracked every single game that showed up completely by hand:

https://secure.gog.com/forum/general/2014_drmfree_summer_sale_tracker

As well as another person who wrote a python script to scrape the game promotions directly off the GOG website and add them to a log file as each game comes on sale:

http://birdiesoft.dk/summersale.php

And JMich reverse engineered GOG's game card background graphics and was able to calclulate way ahead of time how many games appeared to be in queue for the sale. I forget what the total number of images were but he has them archived on a cloud based storage account for anyone to peruse (don't have the URL handy but it's in this thread or the other one I linked to above if not both). Of the games he identified near the very start of the promo before many games even were offered yet, every single game has showed up on his list except for about 6 or 7, and zero games showed up so far that were not on the list. :)

I did not have the exact number handy in my previous comment but GOG stated there would be about 200 games in the flash sale right in their original advertising for the sale so I just threw that number out there. The actual number appears to be a bit higher than that, but there absolutely has been at least 200 games and someone else pegged it at 227 or something like that. That is unique games not counting games that are repeated multiple times.

We don't mess around hehehe. :) For the next sale the plan is to be able to figure out what each of GOG's web developers ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner each day simply by studying the HTML, Javascript and CSS. :oP

Update:
228 unique games so far in the Flash sale:

Tsugirai: Man, this sale is finishing off my wallet...
By the way, EVERYONE should buy Deadly Premonition. It's one of my all-time favorites.

Zoidberg: What about all the negative points of it?
To be honest, I played it on the PS3, maybe they didn't manage to port it too well... The game is very unique though (an open world horror game!), and the story is INSANE, as, in every sense of the word. I don't really want to spoil anything, but if you can bag a good price on it, you should play through it at least once, just to see what I am talking about. What this game does have never been done before and I doubt it will be again anytime soon.

Oh, I am so tempted with this game. Is this as broken on the ps3 as it is on the pc? I have a ps3, so I'm thinking I should go with that., but every time it pops up in a sale it's so tempting! Does the pc version support controllers?

I only have the PS3 version, that had no problems whatsoever apart from framerate drops, which isn't so bad I think. From what I have read about the GoG version, it is patched up quite nicely, contains bonus content but does not support controllers.

I was also interested in this game and did a little research a couple of days ago...

The latest patch 1.01 apparently does add full controller support and has been tested to work with an Xbox 360 controller according to this thread. It also seems to have had quite a few bug fixes.

The second review on the store page also seems to indicate that the PC version had many problems when first released, but most have been addressed.

I decided to go for it given that reassurance, the fairly cheap price, and the fact that I'm currently watching Twin Peaks and going through a horror game phase. :)

I'm tempted to get the ps3 version. Another 30 mins or so to decide, thanks.

And at last! GOG hasn't let me post for the last 12 hours!

After having played the 360 version to completion, the opening scenes of the PS3 version, and maybe the first couple hours of the PC version before I gave up on it since my computer is too underpowered to really play the game, I'd easily recommend the game to anyone interested in playing a different kind of game with great characters, story, and fantastic voice over that really brings everything to life in the game's weird (but very charming) horror atmosphere.
Any idea what today's bundles will contain?

Yes, and No
The first bundle, I take it will be the Runaway series, but the next title seems a little ... open-ended.

Commandos seem to be in the image, so I guess those will be in. As for the Tactical part, yes, quite a few fit the bill.
