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!
Seeing that GOG games will be able to multi-play on Steam servers they should find a way where you can see what games you already own on Steam from GOG. Especially when they have these sales. So you don't buy it twice. Something like (Owned with a Steam Icon) that way you can buy the DRM FREE version if you want on GOG but it will be clear that you already own this on Steam.

Anyway... Just my 2 cents ;-) GOG For president !

no, not really a lot of work.. just Steam API integration.. Indiegala does it with keys in bundle.. you now have to link your steam account and the games are added direct to your account.. if you already have a game, it tells you. so it can check which games you own.

maybe someone could do a Chrome extension :)

I think there would be many of us who wont want that...
Consortium is on flash sale again and I'm still not sure what to think about that game because the reviews range from 1 star to 5 stars. Is it still full of bugs, is it long/short and most important: is it worth 5$?
Come on, doesn't anyone have Settlers 2 Gold to trade for another $2.49 title? : (

While it is certainly technically possible to do that via the SteamAPI, and many websites out there utilize that for example already, it is unlikely that GOG would do this because while it is something that a customer might like to have, it is not something that would really benefit GOG themselves in any way and even cost them by promoting the competition, plus it would swallow some amount of engineering resources to create and then to maintain over time. GOG engineering resources are most likely going to be allocated towards developing, maintaining and improving the features of their own service to make it more competitive with their competition rather than making it able to interact directly with their competition and cost them money and time.

The only thing I can think of that would be easy to do, and not take up much engineering resources would be to have a feature like Steam client has where it can scan your hard disk for non-Steam games and software and allow you to add shortcuts to the client to launch those 3rd party applications. That takes place entirely on your own hard disk, and is probably a few days worth of code for a rather useful convenience. I really doubt that we'll see GOG's software talking directly to Steam/Desura/Capsule or other game distributor's back end services to access game libraries, download/install games, or interact in other ways like that.

For the multiplayer crossplay stuff, it only works with games that were specifically written to have support for GOG Galaxy and crossplay by their developer if I understand what GOG said about that correctly. In other words, it wont work with existing games on Steam right now unless they get enhanced with Galaxy crossplay support in an update or whatnot. That is just my interpretation of what they said however, so we'll have to wait until they say more about it or it launches officially to find out the details.

undeadcow: 1954: Alcatraz seems to get horrible reviews... but I keep finding myself hovering over it when on flash deal...
I;m in the same boat. Hovered over it about 5 times so far.
Deals are awesome, but what's with the repeats? Come on guys, same games pop up every x hours... Give us some strike commander, theme park and theme hospital... :)
Can anyone direct me to a thread or forum where there are in depth recommendations occurring about these flash sales? and I don't mean the reviews, when a user is explaining to another use why they should totally invest in X game it usually comes across truer and more informative than the next-to-useless reviews. There are a number of games that I have had my eye on but have yet to make the leap for them.
there's a specific forum for each game, instead of general forum look below and can select what game forum you want to know about.

good luck!

.. and will there actually be a successor?

From their webpage:
"CONSORTIUM is actually the first in an envisioned large series of games. Each game would be completely separate, yet connected through the gameworld and its characters, and then also of course through the meta-storyline involving the “in-game” version of Interdimensional Games."

We'll see.
