2011 has been a fantastic year for GOG.com, let's make it even better and make the last push to achieve the 6 million unique downloaded games milestone.

During our presentation at the CD Projekt Fall 2011 Conference we've shared some numbers that show how successful this year was for GOG.com, all that was possible thanks to you - our great community. One of the big milestones we'd like to celebrate with you is the 6 million unique downloaded games! Help us achieve this number and we'll launch a time-limited special offer for all GOG.com users!

Note that when we say "unique games downloaded," that means redownloading games that you have already downloaded before won't increment the counter.

When the counter on the main page of the website hits 6 million, two exciting things will happen. First off, the lucky user who downloaded our 6 millionth unique game will receive everything that's currently in the catalog, absolutely free! Secondly, everyone who has an account on GOG.com will be able to download Broken Sword: Shadow of The Templars Director’s Cut for free, thanks to Sir Charles Cecil and Revolution Software. The offer will be valid only for 48 hours starting from hitting the milestone, so be sure to check GOG regularly or follow us on and [url=https://www.facebook.com/gogcom]Facebook. Let's get cracking to unlock this achievement as soon as possible - it's all in your hands now!

wodmarach: they're going by the DB entry so it's whoevers got entered as entry 6m

Lexor: Hmm, sooo... how entries are stored then? by alphabet? :P
In databases there is something called a "key" which is effectively something by which the database table is sorted and organized. Usually this is something like an incrementing integer or a name. I assume their orders go by integers.

Not the winner. Oh well. Now just waiting for the price drop on The Witcher 2

Lexor: You could be surprised - the more the entries the higher probability.
Nice new avatar. :)

How do you know you're not the winner. Have the results been posted already?
If so, grats to the winner. If not...I'm gonna go back to racking some nerfs.

Out of interest, what is the full non-discount value of the entire GoG catalogue?

Yeah, it's an update to the 6 million download thank you. Sorry, you didn't win either. Wanna team up for the 7 million download mark? :D

I've been downloading games for the last hour or so (a few gigs worth). And am downloading Broken Sword now (another gigabyte). I imagine I was not the only one to download a bunch of games this last hour ;~p

All my downloads went smoothly. As they always have. I think we gave the
ole beta downloader a good test. Perhaps it's time to graduate from beta?


I wonder just how many gigs of information that downloader handled this last hour?

AdmiralMemo: If you didn't realize, the counter's not 100% live. It pulls the number and estimated rate when you load the page. You need to refresh for an actual live count.
avatar
Ekaros: I got last figure at 5999568, so after that no real rate know...
I had it refreshing frequently. The rate went from about 1 per second at 500 left to 2 per second at about 250 to go and accelerating ever after. After only 100 left, I don't think the counter could ever keep up, it was going so fast.

Hopefully he'll be all like "Hey guys can you help me? I just recently found out about this site and bought my first game here, Icewind Dale 2 (my faw from the gold days), now as I wanted to play it right away I downloaded it and after it finished I suddenly noticed all these games on my shelf. Is this a bug? Help?"

And when he finds out, he dies of heart failure and GoG will be found responsible in manslaughter and be shut down. Happy days!
