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!

ngageman: Hmmm... 3 sec for buy= 20 for minute 1200 for hour... i count about 3500-4000 copies of DX.
Yeah, it sure seems unquestionably popular today. I have never played it but I'm thinking I may need to prioritize that as I bought both Deus Ex games well over a year ago and they're just sitting comfy on my shelf. Funny enough I installed Daikatana and Anachronox to give them a test run after reading how terrible they were received by gamers, but I read about how well received Deus Ex was at the same time and didn't try it out. Conclusion? I'm a sucker for punishment I guess. ;oP

Davane: Is that including the natural rate of time decay? Bear in mind that even if you assume that the +1s and -1s cancel out, the timer is still counting down, even as the sales go on.
We are basically back to the start time, so that washes out. We have decayed roughly the same amount of time as has been added.

OdanUrr: It would be funny if Deus Ex turned out to be the highest grossing game of 2014.
Hehe, they'd have to update the box to call it Deus Ex GOEY Edition (Game of Every Year) :oP
Well, I was hoping Gothic 1 would be 2001, but I was wrong. It will just be Deus Ex... FOREVER.

We need a Deus Ex Machina to save us.
My time said that it reached zero andw as going to the next game. I refresh and it's back to 1 and a half hours.

Fuckin' hell.

Thruggsen: We are basically back to the start time, so that washes out. We have decayed roughly the same amount of time as has been added.
But, the timer reached over 2 hours, approximately three hours ago. That's a lot of sales to consider to not only negate the time decay, which was still occuring, but also to actually increase the net time of the sale being displayed at the time.
So wait, how long has it taken to get back to the starting time?
The progress bar is going down now :(
I dunno if this has an effect on the sale, but there have been a shit ton of Deus Ex: HR LPs on Twitch lately.

P1na: Somewhere between a lot and a fuckton.

It'd just go to show that Classic never goes out of style! Pity modern publishers can't seem to grasp the concept.

It's still all accounted for. If you want a neat equation, the total sales (not accounting for +/- voting) is
(1200 x time elapsed in hours) + ((current displayed time - 1:30:00) / 3)

mkell_226: So wait, how long has it taken to get back to the starting time?
Almost three and a half hours - I've been listening to the 10 hours of the Pac Man Theme shortly after Deus Ex started going on sale... and now I am 3 hours and 20 minutes through it.
Gasp! It's under the original time!
So Deus EX is Jack Keane 2 in reverse?
