In and thanks.
Thank you, I'm in!
I'm in, thanks!

I like how the Insomnia sale ingeniously induces sleep deprivation, thus reducing the rationality of our decisions. That's an awesome marketing strategy! Now if only I could get some sleep :)
Count me in please, and thanks for the continuous great giveaways in the forums!

For the promos, my favourite promos are probably the Winter and Summer sale, where there are a few game promos each day throughout a few week time period with a day in the middle with all of the promos showing up all at once, and an encore at the end. I've bought the most amount of games during these times and they only take a few seconds or few minutes of one's time to see if there's anything interesting today without being a big time sink. The Insomnia sales are fun in different ways too, but very time consuming if you want to get a good deal on particular games. The Time Machine sale was also a good one for me. Just a few seconds to see what is happening each day and no need to glue oneself to the GOG website all day to avoid missing out.

I do however like the fact that GOG experiments and tries to come up with new promo ideas too even if some of them don't work out so well for me or others. To come up with new ideas you have to try things and find out what works and be creative and they sure do that. :)

One sale idea I just thought of, would be to scan the wishlist database and tally up which games people wishlist the most, and come up with some promotion to offer up good deals on the most wishlisted items. Could have a genie in a bottle theme where you can ask 3 wishes or something... :) It could be a promo that uses aggregate data to decide what games go in the sale, or it could be per-customer promos although that could be more difficult per se.

Sounds like a good idea actually - I'm pretty sure there would be plenty of the lesser known / lower selling games people have wishlisted out of curiosity as well - and therefore a sale on those items would not only provide a bargain priced reason for people to snap them up, but create a but of a buzz on them too.
Thanks for your generosity, The Sigil and Sachys! Please count me in. ;)

I like the "the battle of the games" ones, when GOG offer the forum members the possibility to vote for one of the two choices getting the max discount, it's very informative (and entertaining) to read people's opinions about their personal picks. :)
I'm in SpokeChump, though I'm afraid I don't really have anything for the conversation this week.
Count me in, thank you.
Bad games marketing:
Just read this an hour ago...
http://www.game-debate.com/news/?news=12672&amp;game=Titanfall&amp;title=Respawn%20Downgrades%20PC%20Titanfall,%20Removing%20CTF%20And%20Pilot%20Hunter%20Modes
...so at the moment removing features from a game after it already gots released is proberbly the worst marketing I could ever think of!

I really like those as well as the current insomnia, but I do really dislike that the decisions doesn´t have any impact AT ALL. If I miss one insomnia sale, I can pick it up again later on. If one game looses in the Battle of The Games, they´ll still be end up discounted at the last day.
Double or tripple the amouth of games would be ways better!
