UnknownMember: GOG is going to place an emphasis on the obscure D&D titles like 'Demon Stone' and package them in with popular titles like Baldur's Gate & Planescape: Torment. The majority of gamers already own these products, so paying for them twice is going to put a few people off.
If you already own any games through GOG, then they count towards any promotional offers that require buying a bundle of games. So for example if there is a bundle of 8 games and you own 7 of them already on GOG and only want the one game you are missing, but the GOG promo requires the bundle to be bought as a whole to get the full promo discount, your already purchased games count towards that, so you do only need to buy the games you do not already have. It's like this in all GOG promotions.
This does not of course apply to games you might own on CD/DVD/Steam/Desura or elsewhere, and so if one owns games somewhere else, a current promo might or might not appeal to them. The promos do appeal to a large number of people however and GOG does run a tremendous amount of really good promos, most of which do not require buying a whole bundle to get the promo pricing. I don't think it is unfair of them to offer a good discount like 50% off individual titles or 80% off the entire bundle however, that is a pretty darned good deal no matter how you slice it. If someone gets upset or angry over that it's kind of cheap IMHO, especially when it boils down to only a couple dollars more or less.
There were some games in the promos that I wanted to get and passed on because I only wanted one or two of the games in the whole bundle. I wasn't upset, I just decided I would wait for a future deal to come up for those games in which I could get just the games I want, or perhaps they'd be bundled with other games I want instead next time around. So many good deals, every single deal isn't always going to be exactly what is optimal for every single person's situation really. :) I say just find the deals that work best and take advantage of them, pass up others until a better deal comes invariably does come along that offers what you want more closely.
GOG doesn't need to ever even put anything on sale if they choose not to, and the games are pretty good prices regularly. For someone to not be upset when a promo is not on, and then be upset when one does come on offering something deal that never existed prior, is IMHO quite silly and to a degree self-centered. :)
Just play the waiting game, a better deal match always comes along eventually. :)
