This has probably been asked/discussed already, but my searches (which are admittedly bad) didn't turn anything up:

What's the deal with the sale items on GOG with no frontpage headline announcing? It seems like there were different ones on sale last week (SS2 and some others I think?) and this week there's like Theme Hospital, Startopia, Sacrifice and others. Am I just missing the announcements? Is this a new thing that GOG is doing similar to Steam weekly deals?
I got an E-mail with this to say:

"Hey, if you picked up Dungeon Keeper during our giveaway, you might like: " And then it lists those games you mentioned as well as Overlord, Evil Genius, and Tropico.

So it's just to try and get the people who picked up DK during the giveaway to buy something else.

I got that too. It was a little confusing, I thought it was targeting since it was listed on an individual basis.
As full as the front page was this week I doubt they had room.
I go to browse all games and use the 'discounted' filter to show everything on sale at once.
The front page on sale tab only has 20 slots so you may not see them all. :)

I think we can conclude that either he died or that everyone in the world owns Sacrifice, fulfilling his lifelong quest.

Lol, was just about to ask if it was Licurg bait, guess that's obvious though

Did you get one last week about SS2 and Chaos Overlords?

I actually got Dungeon Keeper in the giveaway, but didn't get this email. Perhaps my preferences are set different than yours.



Edit: Total aside, but how cool is it that GOG software combines double posts? Never noticed that before

Doesn't look like it. Weird.

The SS2 and Chaos Overlords was an Escapist promo it seems, so I think the Escapist did the advertising. But all GOG customers could take advantage of it.

I didn't . I came back as a zombie to eat tinyE's brain, should he have one .
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most.
