DubConqueror: The good thing about this format, compared to the Insomnia sale, is the GOOD games stay on sale longer, instead of the bad games. The setup of this sale shows GOG really learned from the mistakes of the Imsomnia sale (as fun as an experience it was, with the togetherness of the community, it was gruesome as well at times, er, at Keane).

yyahoo: I guess. Honestly, I would rather watch a counter count down, rather than an clock countdown keep gaining time ad infinitum.

The only two mistakes that GOG made in the Insomnia sale were having game appear several times instead of just all in one pack and putting on ridiculously unpopular games in the sale list.

The Insomnia sale got boring after a while, but the beginning of it was *much* more exciting than this sale. This one moves *way* too slowly IMHO and has the ability to go on forever, which, I fear, will be tested eventually.
My experience of it is colored by knowing about the sale when it had been going for some time and the frenzy of the first round was almost over. I mostly remember the long hours of the second and third round. If you experienced the adrenaline of the first round first hand (pun slightly intended), I guess you've got a much more positive experience of it.

Hmm, every 20 votes (or 10 sales) adds another copy for sale?

Or every sale adds .1 to an invisible counter, and every vote adds .05, when the counter reaches 1, another copy is added to the sale, and the counter is zeroed again.

Similar to the current promo, but with items-for-sale rather than time.

Yeah, I paid attention through the first round or so of Insomnia and then that was that. I even won a couple free games by being quick on the draw. This... meh... nearly 3 1/2 hours for a semi-popular game that's been on sale for an even higher discount in the past (in a forced bundle, but still)... In the first round of Insomnia, games were flying by in 15 minutes. Of course, at the time, no one knew that they would be coming back, again and again and again...

Grobles87: Space Quest? Never heard of it before. Is it any good?
Incredibly difficult (if the original King's Quest is anything to go on).

I'm not sure if you missed the point accidentally or intentionally, but my point was that I don't like the idea of adding time (time/units it doesn't matter) without limit to each game promo. I'm also not fond of the 1 1/2 long starting time. Perhaps it would work with a shorter starting time like 15 minutes, but +3 seconds for every sale right now is just too much.
Come on GOG, put Arx Fatalis on sale for 2002 and we may forgive you for releasing the KraKeane.
Oh FUCK I would have gotten the Ultima sale if I didn't kill my phone battery this morning making calls to get my broken down Jeep towed! I knew waiting to read the gog.com email until later would haunt me later...
Missed out on Zork!

Why!? WHY DO I INSIST ON SLEEPING?!
I'm sure i will miss some great games . Good night .

Apparently I did miss the point. I thought you meant that you preferred units rather than time.

No problem. I have an idea that when Deus Ex comes around, my issue will become clear. I predict a longer than Keane game promo. We'll see if I'm right...

ZPavelZ: I don't think GOG would be stupid enough to step twice into the same trap honestly. :P

real.geizterfahr: I can already see it coming. Everyone will upvote Jack Keane 2 so that the offer lasts for two or three days, but nobody is going to buy it...
But WHO tf would do THAT? ....... muarhauarharharharhar *very dirty laughter*
