The 2014 DRM-Free Summer Sale is now over, but that doesn't mean we don't have more excitement in store for you. Quite soon, you can expect news about GOG Galaxy, our up-and-coming DRM-Free online gaming platform, The Witcher Adventure Game, CD Projekt RED's newest addition to the gaming Witcherverse, and an interesting update on our planned Linux support. Not to mention some fantastic new releases coming your way… Truly, this is an exciting time to be a Gogger. Thank you for choosing to be one!
Thank you gog team for the great sale.

Even though I usually dread the flash sales, I can say your take on this sale approach was very reasonable.
Mainly, I dislike the idea of having to check the website the whole day for a single opportunity to get a game I want at a major discount within a time frame that is way too short. But in the end, I feel like the way you did was as reasonable as it can get:

1) Most games had a 50% sale at all times, so you could still grab the game you want at a nice price (unless it's a very expensive one) at any given moment

2) The upcoming flash sales (in the next hour) were actually announced so there was a bigger window to notice and make your purchase

3) The same games repeated countless times on the flash sales. Together with the repetition of daily bundles (which have an extended time windows and thus don't need to be repeated as many times), I personally feel there were enough opportunities for the most community to grab the games wanted without having to camp too much and check the home page every hour.

I was personally very satisfied by this approach.
The Insomnia sale still makes me way too anxious tough and I try very hard to avoid it (admittedly game sales can make me very anxious in general. The Insomnia sale format has the ability to make me insanely anxious though). But I can see how it can be attractive (and it most certainly is, judging by how many people were commenting about it back then). I just hope the Team continues to balance out between limited-50games-10seconds-FlashSale and YouHaveManyDaysToBuyTheseGamesAtADiscountSale.

Thank you GOG for this sale!
I love this site and your work. Not that I'm being biased (I'm Polish) but I really think you made a better and more excitting sale than steam. Just my opinion but still, GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!
I officially hate you for this sale. You're worse than Steam! I've bought 17 games this time!

Just kidding. Keep them coming. And bring some more Good Old Games, such as Stronghold (D&D one), Fury of the Furries, Dark Earth, all Silmarils games (from DotEmu, but I want them here) and maybe some Blizzard classics (one can dream, eh?).
Thank you very much for the selection of games that you offered. I took the chance to buy all the classic games at a very good price and saved a lot of money in doing so. I look forward to playing them all.
Good sales, but please be more lenient with Flash Giveaways.

And thanks very much for making your games available to gamers DRM-free through the GOG distribution platform! I just checked and it appears that there are 32 Nordic games in the GOG catalogue which is probably on the high end for number of games from a single company here.

Looking through my game shelf, I own 15 of them here on GOG, 4 of them on Steam which are on GOG (2 bought there before they were available here, and the 2 Full Spectrum Warriror games because I wanted multiplayer support), and I've got 1 on DVD and 1 from another DRM-free retailer. 11 of the other titles are on my wishlist for future buys!

Thanks again for providing your games here!

Agreed :-)

For my part, since the giveaways were announced, I kept GoG open in my browser nearly all day long, and yet I have not seen any of the 4 giveaways mentioned above (not speaking of Magrunner, of course).

Thank you Nordic for being on GOG!
Very much appreciated,
All the best
Heya GOG,
Thanks for the Sale!

What power you wield — I have so many games now that I suddenly, inexplicably, HAD to have, that I'd never even known existed before a week or so ago! Ha-ha!! ;-)

I do have one suggestion to make:

Not all of your customers are in the one continent, obviously. I'm sure you know that better than I do, but it seemed that your big specials, such as the Giveaways, and many of the more infrequent deals, were timed for your users in North America; I'm in Australia, and never saw any of them. Fair enough to cater to your largest audience, but it would be great if you could share the love around a little more. ;-)

But, overall, my swag is stuffed full to bursting.

You should port over that Darksiders series to GOG. Many would kill a kitten or two for those games. :)

I am from France, and had the same problem (see my previous post). It seems you found a good explanation :-)
Thank you GOG for having made a great sale. Cant choose between it or the Insomnia ones being the best:). 40 games added to my GOG collection this sale...

Like others have said thanks for bringing your games to GOG. Like Red Faction 1-2 I love them games & is there any chance of Red Faction: Guerrilla coming to GOG.


Thank you for any info you can give with in reason.
