I've been a GOG customer from back when they sold little but the old Fallout titles, but this is my first experince with this odd kind of "sale" and I can't say I like the concept. It really doesn't seem fair to those of us with busy lives and jobs who can't sit by a computer day and night; the "one day only" and bundle approach of past sales seems much more sensible and reasonable, I feel.
Maybe I'm just bitter because all I really wanted was the LucasArts games, yet I missed Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis EVERY time it came around (even though it seems like there were massive numbers of copies sold?)!
Also, I still don't understand how people were getting free games; I ended up buying a dozen titles, both fresh and classic, and didn't get a single freebie, not even when clicking on the ones I already owned. While I don't mind that part so much, since I was happy just getting them at a cheaper price, it's left me baffled why the whole "free" mechanism seemed to be working for so many other people and not a select few. Is it browser related, perhaps?
