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!

Resil: It will last until 30th of June :)
Cheers!
Summer Sale? Already?

Oh....oh,no...I think I hear my wallet running off, screaming in the distance.
It's just not capable of handling so much abuse :)

So which flash sales did I miss in the first 2 hours?
Shut up and take...my...money...LOL

awalterj: Blackwell Epiphany at 25% discount, hmm....I had hoped for at least 35% discount which would drop the price just shy of $10, making it irresistible and which would result in massive purchases from stingy wishlisters.
$11.24 is not a bad offer, but it isn't irresistible. Perhaps Wadjet has set a limit to the discount and it's not in GOG's hands.
It is a new game after all, I think I was blinded by wishful thinking and greed.
DD stores never set the price themselves, it is always in conjunctions with the publishers.

If a DD store decide to sell a product cheaper than what they have contracted with the developer, then they are doing so on the cost of their margins. As the normal margin is a 30-70 split, there is not much to go on. So if a game is heavily discounted, the store will then actually end up paying the publisher to sell the games...

So there is 17 days for this promo which translated to 17 X 24 = 408 hours

GOG unlock 6 games every hour so 408 X 6 = 2448 titles

Current GOG put up 700 games for sales so 2448 / 7 = 3.5 rounds give or take.

So I guess after GOG exhaust 700 games after 3 to 4 days, GOG will refresh another round of games for promo?

Will that be in a specific order like the previous Insomnia thread?
It's on like Donkey Kong. Great opening sales.

Elmofongo: I got the first one and I confirm that its a big seamless open world like Morrowind, Risen, and WOW.

NoNewTaleToTell: Good to know (that it's completely open world). I really should get around to playing Two Worlds 2...
Well someone here told me it was.
Thanks for starting your sale before Steam's. It helps me with my buying priorities :D

According to this math, GOG is only making about 74 cents per sold discounted copy of Epiphany right now so you would be quite right in saying there really isn't more room here for a steeper discount.
Thanks for pointing this out, I had forgotten about how this works. It's all the high percentage sales that warped my brain into assuming 75% and more is normal!
Still having issues similar to the last sale where I can't tell which games I own without opening each one individually.

Yeah, this is where it is different from physical stores. they buy in a stock of goods, which then become their assets and they can do with it what they want. In digital, there is no such stock.

A nitpick: right now it looks like 6 games are unlocked every 36 minutes, which gives us 24*60/36 = 40 six-packs of games per day.

It's not an issue or bug. It's intended to work that way. That feature takes up a lot of resources, so when GOG knows that they are going to be receiving a lot of sale/traffic during a special sale, they turn it off.
With less than a minute left, I got Shadowrun Returns... Finally.
