There's more than just buying games incredibly cheap to our DRM-Free Time Machine Sale! We're ready to pass its steering wheel (or rather the control console) to YOU. Each game in the sale is offered for a limited time only, and how long we stay in its year is up to you! Each time you see a new game on sale you can vote to either add or subtract 1 second from the timer. Each time you buy a game, you add 3 seconds to the time of it being on sale. We begin with 1983's Zork, bundled with the rest of the Zork Anthology of 6 games in total, for only $1.79. How long will it last on the front page? You'll be the judge. What comes next, as the game of 1984? Let's find out!

Let's take a trip in GOG.com's DRM-Free Time Machine Sale! 30 great games from 1983-2013 will be available up to 90% off, and you get to decide how long each game is on sale. Ready? The technomagical gateway to 1983 opens NOW!

* "Again?", you might ask, "when did they ever do the time warp?". Well, once you embark on a journey through time, all becomes relevant and there's absolutely no guarantee that what you are doing, you are doing for the first time. In fact, that's highly improbable. After all, time isn't linear. It's more like a giant wobbly-bobbly goggy-boggy ball of gaming awesome!

DiscipleJF: I have to be in bed in a couple of more hours. Obviously the sale will go on whilst I am asleep, but I was wondering, any information as to whether the games will be repeat saled nearer the end so anyone who missed it have a chance to pick it up?
I believe I saw TheEnigmaticT's response, which was "no."

gscotti: The game is going to be known as Deus EX KOTY Edition (Keane of the Year)
Haha, nice one! LOL

stan423321: Which leads us to the unescapable, though flamewar-baitish, question. Given enough money, should GOG buy Bethesda, Blizzard, Nintendo or Valve (this is an alphabetical sort), or something else, supposing they did have cash for one of those big companies?

geminidomino: Definitely Valve. Rip the DRM out of Steam and I'll finally be able to buy BL2. :)
Not an expert in legal matters, but removing CEG out of BL2 would be fairly more probable if you suggested publisher of BL2.

I believe GOG people stated that won't be the case in this sale. Sorry, no round-up.

Someone posted a quote from Enigmatic T from a reddit thread earlier saying that there would not be any repeats.

If GOG brought out Valve, then the Steam machine would become the GOG machine. If that happens, I wonder if GOG will start giving out leather trenchcoats and miniguns alongside the inevitable CHIPs...

IAmSinistar: I've seen the clock hit exactly 1:58:00 twice already, it may reach (and even pass) 2 hours.

EDIT: 1:59:32

RadonGOG: Well, it seems that you´ve underestimated Deus Ex a bit...
Currently on track for 130 minutes!
Not me, I'm just reporting what I found. I knew it easily had the potential to go way above the starting time. You are thinking of someone else.

And we'd finally see Half Life 3! Valve definitely.

randomengine: Hey was a game removed from Gog? I see that it is 680, when it was 681 yesterday or this morning.
I can confirm that as well, I specifically remember seeing it show 681 and I just checked and it is 680. No idea which game has gone missing but it's either a website glitch or it is a presumably silent game removal. Didn't see anything on the forums about it yet, but I'm sure someone will look into it now and report back somewhere.
Didn't expect people to be that keane to get Deus Ex.
Well, maybe this shows Squeenix how popular Deus Ex is here, and they bring us Human Revolution?

WhoKnowscs: GOG please make Jack Keane 90% off for 2007, making it $0.99, and Jack Keane 2 90% off for 2012, making it $2.99.

Then we can get to work on making the meme that "You'll never "out-Keane" Keane, #$%#$" true.
That would be a nice stress test for the "-1" button.

CEG? Not familiar with that acronym.

And actually, I did email 2K asking for a non-steam version when it was first announced. I was answered very politely, but it basically translated to "go pound sand."
For the record, it's quite a PITA to have to check if I already own every single game (and no, I don't remember every single one of them).
Next time, please try to add the price/owned widget (or whatever it is) to the frame :/
Wow, the counter went up 40 minutes in one hour.
