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!

ActuallyCarrie: I am not sure but FTL is not among the games offered in Flashsales and it will probably not appear..There is a topic around here that lists all games that appear on Flashsales (I can't find it, sorry) but FTL was not among them.

Treasure: Good thing that you specified you aren't sure then. :-)
Well that's great:) but I did not see it although I have been practically sitting at the computer since the beginning of the sale:D Or maybe my eyes just did not catch it because I already own it.

I wonder why the first Gothic game was not included in the Gothic daily deal bundle. I had to buy it separately. Anyway, this is a minor and ignorable quibble, considering all these great discounts.

Because it has a different publisher than the others on GOG.

There is a different publisher for the Gothic sequels than the first game.

KittyKay: There's always a chance of that. Heard rumors about something potentially happening with Banished going on sale maybe and I think the bundles at the end of the sale are still undetermined at this point, so they may introduce something new.

And I can't remember who mentioned it, but there may be some kind of contest as well and that could result in new offers.

madth3: Flash sales have been constrained to the list for a while now. I'd say chances of new games are very slim. There were some images found that pointed towards Banished, Omerta and a few more games that never appeared.

Daily deals have been determined.

Contests and flash freebies were mentioned in some of the GOG mesages in this thread and we have not seen those. I'd say that's the only hope.

xenocidic: Will we see any new bundles or flash deals? Or is it now just re-runs of what we've seen?

Really holding out hope for the Quest for Sierra bundle!

skeletonbow: While we can't know with 100% certainty, we can make pretty solid predictions based on a combination of GOG's official sales promo advertising materials and news, GOG's past seasonal promotions, and the wonderful forensic analysis of the website code by certain community members. Based on all of that, the highest likelihood seems to be that the flash sales will be fairly consistent from the first day of the summer promo through the last and that any games that have not showed up in it already will never show up unless they have as yet unknown surprises planned. As for the bundles, it has been determined what bundles will occur every day to the end of the sale already and so far every day's bundle offerings have matched exactly what was determined forensically so we have high reason to believe the rest of the predictions will be very accurate. It was predicted that the 18th could be a "all bundles of the entire promo all on one day" day, and that also turned out to be true. So we are highly unlikely to see any new bundles show up which are not already predicted and which did not appear on the 18th super-bundle-extravaganza day. It is also predicted that the 29th will be an encore day which has all bundles/flash sales offered the same as June 18th was to give people one more final chance before the sale ends as they have a past history of doing encores also - but we don't know for certain they will do this, they might have some other surprise up their sleeves.

Even though there are uncertainties, the community forensics and predictions to date have about a 99.9% success rate though so while "anything can happen", what is probably going to happen is largely what we expect/predict so far. I wouldn't expect to see any bundles or flash sale items that haven't already showed up. There are a few special unknowns they've yet to tell us the details about yet too though such as some kind of gaming trivia contest. It's anyone's guess on that... :)

The Banished speculation is due to a game graphic being present for the flash sale which has not yet been actually used. It could mean something special is happening with Banished (as many of us would like) or it could mean graphics were prepared and left in the directory but a special promo was not able to be put together with the publisher and perhaps there is no promo for the game and just dud graphics left in the directory.

If Banished does not show up in some kind of special offer though... maybe LucasArts games will show up! :)
Thanks all, for the detailed analysis =)

Looks like my wallet may be safe...for now...

Think there will be chance for the Outlast DLC to be on sale too? Since the one on steam seem to be on sale for days now.

I wanted to buy "Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs", but GOG only sells it for Windows and Mac, although a Linux version exists. Bummer.

GOG is adding Linux platform support in the fall, with an initial launch of somewhere around 100 games or so, with more to be added over time after that so I wouldn't bummer out too much.

I know. Still. I'd be perfectly happy getting Linux games now without any kind of support or customized installers.

Wont happen on GOG.com until they officially make Linux support available though, and understandably so. Steam has 500+ games with Linux support available right now if time is of the essence and you dont mind DRM or using Steam though. Not sure if that specific game is available for Linux there but it's easy to check. Personally I'd just go for the GOG version if it's on sale at a sweet spot price and wait it out for Linux platform support to launch, it's only a few months off and it's even possible they might announce early beta access or something before then perhaps, or I'd just wait it out - a cheaper price is always in the future at some point for most games. :)

I'd have been happy getting Linux games like Halflife for example 15 years ago unsupported too but that didn't happen until recently either. :) C'est la vie as they say. :)

I'm done! :) If I stay any longer I'll be risking rent this month. Now to find time to play all of these games

Undiscounted price of all items: $144
Total spent: $34
Total Savings: 110 or 76%

Brütal Legend looks very nice to me and I want to pick it up when it shows up next time on this sale. But I`m not sure if it will run good on my Intel Core 2 Duo with 3.0 Ghz. Can anybody tell me if it will run without stuttering graphics?
