Thanks for this post.

I do want to point out one issue you seeme to have overlooked. The Witcher 2 had 10K in sales and presumably that was near 100% income to GoG seeing that they are owned by the developer, CD ProjectRed.

Interesting, dear Luminary. Most interesting...

Kudos Eli! I was wondering the same thing: How much money they make?
I also witnessed first wave almost totally, but for others I didn't have time and will to do it.
Paying per GB per month seems a big disadvantage don't you think? Its a bleed out in their budget.

Interesting info. I would have thought a lot more money would've been made on this. Under $100,000 doesn't seem like much based on the effort put into this. Or maybe its me and my incorrect expectations.

Have a + for the most interesting post on this forum for a long time, sir.

Publicity, dude!

Major update! Thanks to Mondo84's far-more-diligent collection of data for the 2nd & 3rd-run, I've incorporated columns for the 2nd run to go along with the the few small changes that occurred therein, and made a good number of corrections to the 3rd run. More details to follow after we get everything straight - and I'll update the original post accordingly. The tables themselves have already been updated, and are believed to be accurate and complete.

Again, you can find them at:
GOG's Insomnia Sale Numbers - Analysis Tables

For 3 quarters of 2013 their revenue was 42,3 mPLN and net profit 7,8 mPLN - so yes I think they are doing fine :-)

Goddamn statistics nerd. =P

Hmm.. no not really. I think CD Projekt is mentioned more often.

Thanks for sharing, definitely interesting to see though I'd also really like to see time frames in the analysis since that opens a whole other world of comparative views. Don't know that anyone has those times though!

Its good numbers imho for the sale :) Thanks for the OPs efforts in collating the date :)

What would probably be even more interesting (and likely not measured by anyone, except maybe GOG themselves) is how long each game took to be sold out.

You bring up a great point, Dan.

It's probably true that CD PROJEKT has a better deal with itself than 30%. They probably give closer to 100% of their money to themselves. Although you never know, they could have felt that their self was getting too big a cut, and decided to only give themselves something like a 60/40 split instead. But who gets the 60 and who gets the 40? Themselves or themselves? I would guess that they would probably have the leverage against themselves in this situation and could probably wrangle the 60% for themselves. But who knows.
