nijuu: Kinda surprising those games were got for free? (EE and Fahrenheit) thought one of the common ones would have been thrown up as a freebie from the mystery boxes :)
well EE was definitely a freebie previously, so maybe that has something to do with it? was Fahrenheit also freebie at some point? I assume the freebies do depend on agreed deals with the rights holders, and I still think the daily deals are totally random as well.

I've been wondering which of the 3 mystery gift categories people clicked on to get the game promos being mentioned here. Every time I click on one it is a game I already own, so I hoped to see what others clicked on and what game it was in hopes they're the same for everyone each day and I'd be able to choose one I want and actually spend money. :oP

Or does each of the 3 categories choose a random game from several for a single category like Timeless Classics for a given day?

Just seems kind of odd for GOG to offer you a game for sale you already own and aren't likely to buy, and not give you some other option to get one that you do want and would actually spend money on. Perhaps the intent is for the promo feature to possibly attract new customers to the site and grow the customer base moreso than to sell games to existing game hoarders? LOL

I got 1 I actually wanted. The rest were things I would never get.

Ok, I decided to hit "Random Magic" since it seems to be a combination of the two other categories so I widened the possibilities. I got lucky this time and it offered me a game I don't already own! Woohoo! I'm not interested in the game either and not going to buy it, but it's a step in the right direction! LOL Maybe tomorrow I'll get an offer that's another game I don't own and don't want and the next day I'll get one that I don't own and do want and it's like 99% off or something awesomesauce. One can only hope! :)

Random Magic:

Sam & Max Save the World 85% OFF
($29.99) $4.49

I got "The Swapper" for $4.99. Was a nice deal.

nijuu: So who got a free game from the mystery boxes and what was it?
I got Puddle for free today, in the Random Magic box.

Could a free game appear in either 3 boxes?

So far free games have been confirmed in Timeless Classics and Random Magic so i *think* they could be in either of the 3 boxes.
