Ninja'd LOL

My first freebie was the Tex Murphy 1+2 promo in 2009, then the various permanent freebies and then I think Torchlight might have been the next temporary freebie I snagged. I've missed out on several one dayers over time but I think I picked up most of them either in sales or donated from someone in the forums since or from a giveaway.

I know what you mean about it making your day too, it's not even about saving money or anything like that normally but just the thrill of getting something unexpected free as a gift, or winning it in a contest, even if it was worth a cup of coffee. The goodwill both of GOG and the GOG community is astounding and puts a lot of smiles on a lot of people's faces all day every day. :)


You might be right there, hard to say. I've got one Dungeon Keeper code in my gift box still, don't think I even tried to get another one though and I don't think they've had any freebies since then, at least none I'm aware of. They can do absolutely anything they like in their freebie promos in the future though and I'm cool with it and happy they offer anything free to us at all regardless of how exclusive or wide open the given promo might be. :)

So excited for a GOG version of Blazblue: Calamity Trigger!!!!

If any of you fancy yourselves fighting game enthusiasts you have got to pick it up and give it a try - the mechanics are some of the absolute best and the characters are all so unique and satisfying! While this game is highly technical, it is still a blast even if you can't pull off crazy 20+ input Guilty Gear style combos.

I think im leaning towards getting it if the price is right... i liked Guilty Gear X2 style of game even tho im not keen on the heavy metal music....

It's because you didn't click the gift this order box before pushing buy. If you had you would have gotten the code instead.

Yeah, the majority of feedback on the forums was people displeased with the way the fall Insomnia freebies were dished out, but they fixed that in a very nice way for the Spring Insomnia sale IMHO, although I never got any freebies personally in either of them from GOG, but I did get numerous freebie gifts from various generous forum members each time which is more than anyone could hope for.

There have even been a few bigger sales where I either missed out entirely or nothing came up that met my fancy too, but I was still enjoying watching others have fun with the sale in the forums. :)

I'm not sure why, but my bot is not picking up all of the games right now. Looking into it...

YEESSSSS Blackguards is coming up

Next up:

Anvil of Dawn
Shatttered Haven
Blackguards Special Edition
The Swapper
Medal of Honor Warchest
Nexus The Jupiter Incident

Prep your wallet for: Blackguards Special Edition $14.99 ($44.99) [66% OFF]

:)

Yesss now i can sleep well soon for rest of the sale period while perusing the rest of the games without waiting for this to come up... hehehe

Yes, but during the Spring Insomnia Promo, you only had a "buy now" button, while now if you click on the price button, the game(s) just get added to your cart and you have to check out in the usual manner.
That alone makes me think that any freebies during the 2014 DRM-Free Summer Sale won't work in the same fashion.


EDIT: And the screen with the gift box was bypassed only during round #2.

Next is:
Anvil of Dawn
Blakguards
Shattered Heaven
Nexus(Again)
Medal of Honour Warchest
The Swapper

Okay, so apparently some of the flash deals end earlier than expected, and the way I designed the script, it would only catch games that end after the most recently posted game.

I've changed it so it instead posts all the games that are new to the page - I can't be 100% certain my changes work as intended before the next batch goes up, but I think I fixed it.

They already stated in the news announcement that there would be one big one day freebie promo near the end of the sale, and random freebies showing up during the flash sale, we just haven't seen any yet (that I've heard anyway). :)

"That's not all we've got in store for you, dear GOGgers! Before the sale is done you can expect a one huge whole-day giveaway, a couple of Flash-giveaways, a contest of gaming knowledge, and more! Lets begin."
