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!

stan423321: Not an expert in legal matters, but removing CEG out of BL2 would be fairly more probable if you suggested publisher of BL2.

geminidomino: 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."
Custom Executable Generation is the DRM part of Steam. There are a few games that are sold on Steam and even communicate with the client for stuff like achievements or internet multiplayer setup, but run just fine without it; these did opt out of CEG.

triock: How many copies so far? :D
Actually, just 5. I'm trying to rethink if I should buy more, given that I still have some leftover ones from previous rampages, but I probably will.
I think I just found my favorite Deus EX waiting tune. It's a good-old 8 bit beauty ;)

Davane: It is the end of the world as we know it! Economies will collapse as everyone stops to buy Deus Ex! We will all become zombies playing Deus Ex as we wait for the next sale to arrive... while we go through the heat death of the known universe...
And the world will be a better place for it.

justanoldgamer: Wow, the counter went up 40 minutes in one hour.
Which is 2000 sales in an hour give or take a few to account for up and down voting. Fairly comparable to the best sellers on the Insomnia sale (of which this was also one).

randomengine: Deus Ex. I think I beat this game when it was newish. I don't remember a lot about it other than it is good, so I think I will revisit this game +4 from me.

HypersomniacLive: Don't let P1na hear you ;-P
Oh, but I did.

yyahoo: Breaking news!!

King, maker of Candy Crush Saga, trademarks the term "time waster" in connection to their game and then immediately files suit against Deus Ex for its role in GOG.com's DRM-Free Time Machine Sale. Lawyers are considering a settlement.

jk
I had no idea that this guy made Candy Crush:

skeletonbow: 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.
I remember seeing for a time being that there was three games on sale but when cklicking on to see the list there was only two listed (Rayman Forever as it was his time during ongoing sale and Outlast)

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.

Shendue: That would be a nice stress test for the "-1" button.
Or a huge sale as we see people pay cheap for a game but we'll see. Some people are hoarders after all, just hoarders on a budget. =P
Does anyone have an updated MIGHTY LIST?
2 thousand freaking hours!

P1na: .

It hurts that you even doubt my hand on this.

And you know what thread I'm about to start.

The list has been summoned!

Sinistar the ever-vigilant does.
OOoo, I just had a cool idea for a future sale like this. They could overlap multiple games on sale every so often. So lets say they start the timer at an hour and a half like now - then every hour and a half another game is added to the sale list whether or not the previous game(s) have counted down to zero yet. This way everyone gets a fresh game to choose from every hour and a half, and if some other game lasts longer for whatever reasons, people have more opportunities to buy. Kind of a flash sale with a time machine expiry mechanism.

In the future, they could develop an HTML5 based game which you have to solve some puzzle or defeat a boss in order to get to up/down vote a game on sale or something.... Hey, sounds crazy but it's the future! With Oculus Rift support! ;oP
