Yeah well people should warn about sales. I hate it when I don't have much money. What I had it's gifted.

Cheers, this is yet another great sale, allowing me to replace old classics I'd lost and try out new games I'd be reticent to otherwise at higher prices. Thanks GOG!

However, I do have one small suggestion. If you make another sale with the same interface, then for the games that say "coming soon" in the quick sales, let a user click on their game pages to see info about them so we can read up on reviews or information to see if we will want to purchase when it comes up. It's easy enough to either wait or pull up the game from search, but it would just be an added convenience that I'd appreciate.

This sale is beyond insane. So many assumedly great games only just released this very spring and already sold for 75% off. Sadly, no additional lifetime is on sale. Need ... to ... resist ...

Yes, the new Ether One Deluxe 75% off is really insane!

When a company puts a product on promotion, they will discount it a certain amount and be willing to sell it for a limited time at that price, or a limited number of units to promote the product. It stands to reason that the higher the discount they're willing to promote the product with, the lower the number of units they'll be willing to offer or the less amount of time they will offer it in order to promote it without just selling infinite copies to everyone. Their goal is not to get everyone on Earth to own a copy of their game at 80% off, but to create interest in their product via discount, and that boosts sales both during and after the promotion is over. In the case of multiplayer compatible games, it helps also to stimulate the number of players that are active in online gaming which encourages more people to buy and play the game as well. It's all about promotion of sales of the product.

The better the deal is, the more exclusive and limited it is going to be with just about any type of promotion, whether it is video games or underwear. Sales are on either for a limited time, or a limited quantity, or quite often both. Flash sales offer a great opportunity for consumers to get an amazing deal on a product for a very short time period or very limited quantity (or both). The Insomnia type sale was low prices in limited quantities, while flash sales are essentially unlimited quantities for very short periods of time - usually 1 to 8 hours at most stores (not just video games). Anything longer than that is more of a "sale" rather than a flash sale.

The pro is that a deeper discount price of for example 80% off is offered in a short time window rather than a lesser discount of say 50% off for a longer time window. In the case of the GOG sale right now, you have both options. Buy a game anytime you want during the sale until June 30 and you get it for 50% off, a pretty good regular promotion deal. Or take advantage of limited time offers and get greater discounts up to 80-90% off daily deals or flash sale. Pay attention to the aspects of the sale that work for you and just ignore/avoid the parts of the sale that don't appeal to you.

Being angry about something like this however makes no sense. If there was no sale at all going on and prices were just regular prices, people would go about their days as usual. But then a company does them a favour and has a promotion and puts things on varying deep discounts on sale and people get angry about it because it is 80% off for 4 hours instead of it being 90% off for 4 months.

Life is short, be thankful for the things that you do get offered to you and life is more enjoyable. Be angry and you create that inner discontent for yourself unnecessarily, and in this case it is out of the promotional kindness of one of the best gaming distributors on the Internet trying to do a good thing for gamers and boost their business at the same thing. I ask, do people who are angry at sales not being 100% what they want to see prefer there to never be any sales instead, or perhaps for prices to double on all games? Sometimes I think some people would be happier if prices doubled and if GOG offered an anti-sale where for a week, you have to pay double for all the games. Then people would complain that they expected GOG to charge triple for games and now they only have to pay double which sucks because they want to pay triple.

Whenever something good happens in this world, it is my observation that there is always someone out there wanting to complain about it and be angry. I say, they can go ahead and create their own anger and wallow in it while the rest of us jump for joy and rejoice.

I feel like going and buying a game I don't even want and wont ever play now at 80% off just because GOG has given me that opportunity. :)

Come on Interplay games, now show up with a decent price!

>.>
Isn't that what this is?

Did i miss Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun Dragonfall or is it still in the pipeline? I unfortunately missed it at the last insomnia sale already...

Did I miss the Witcher 3 surprise free give-away yet!

Waiting for the next flash sale group to enter to grab Summoner...

Thanks! I'm hoping it will be sold as a pack sometime (the game and DLC) , so at least i didn't miss that. Or maybe the DLC is simply still too new.

Both are still 50% off.

e. shadowrun returns is 50% off and dragonfall about 30%.
sorry.

"Please note that you are required to own DLC: Sword of the Stars: The Pit Gold Edition Upgrade on GOG.com to be able to purchase and play DLC: Sword of the Stars: The Pit Gold Edition Upgrade!"

Are you kidding me? This is a joke right?

It was made wrong and I wore my wrong pants, wrong socks and my belt was being repaired.
I have bills to bay.
It's really true, who opens sales in middle of the month?
These sales are for the rich people and white men. =D
Sounded comical hopefully no one takes anything from that. (because I'm from Finland)
