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!

cmdr_flashheart: Timed giveaways are just annoying, even Origin puts free games for free for months. What's the necessity of a time limit?
To keep us looking their page. And they are free, do we really need to complain that much?

undeadcow: The initial day one sale announcement suggested there would be a contest related giveaway, if I recall correctly trivia based. It makes sense that Banished would make a nice prize for a contest of merit (and require relatively few copies be given away).
They already did some contests today on twitter and facebook, I've heard.

Edit: Yep, contests where the first 10 people guessing the list of games appearing on a video won a $9.99 gift code.

Does Origin have the older games like GOG?

People should be thankful for anything they get for free that they would otherwise have not even had the opportunity to get at all when a company is kind enough to give them a chance to have something out of kindness without any obligation to do so. So I ask, what is the necessity of a company offering to give anything away for free at all?

The reason they offer something for free is usually one or the other or both of:
1) An act of kindness with no obligation to do so.
2) As a promotion to draw interest in the game itself, or at a loss in order to draw attention to something else they are promoting such as some other game, their website, some service, a cause, charity, or something else.

So people start out by there not being anything free and not expecting or knowing that an opportunity for something being free is coming soon, and no reason to believe there should be or will be. Then they find out something is going to be free, something is free or something was free. Then they instantly transform from not knowing/expecting it, to feeling the company/world owes them something, or that the thing they're being offered for free just isn't good enough and it should have been better, should have been given away for free under conditions that suit them better, etc.

I just don't get that, it is so selfish or it really sounds that way to me. If a company gives away 1000 copies of something nobody expected anyway, some people will complain that they didn't give away 2000 copies. If they give away 10000 copies, someone will complain that they didn't give away 20000. If they give something away for free for a day, someone will complain they didn't give it away for 2 days or a week, or permanently and give away two more things to go with it and pay people to take the free stuff.

It's an upsetting trend in the world IMHO. People are just never happy.

I am though, I'm happy and grateful to GOG, to the various game publishers for all of their freebies, whether I get one or miss out, whether it is a game I have or not, whether it is a game I want or not, whether it is awesome or cheesy, whether they give away one single copy and one person is lucky to get it or they give away 10000 copies, or just give all copies away from that point forward forever.

Life is so much better when we appreciate what we have, and appreciate the generosity of others whether we personally benefit from it or not.

I'd like to say once again a big thank you to GOG and all of the publishers/developers who have provided us with any free games under any conditions/time limits/limited quantities or whatever - you didn't owe us anything and I appreciate the kindness and generosity whether it was just that, or as a promotion.

But that's just me... others may have a different experience that is full of misery, and I'm sorry to hear that and hope everyone has a better time of it another day. :)
