MarkoH01: I completely overlooked this - thanks for pointing this out.
Just tried the demo from the only game missing for me and it seems as if I am pretty bad at The Knight Witch ... and now you won't even get a gift code for the others ... it is a pity that GOG does not change their bundle politics.
You're welcome.

The missing message at checkout is probably a bug. I tried another bundle for which it would still show.
GOGs bundle policy is not so different from Humble and Steam. Years ago Humble would provide gift codes for each game, but they stopped doing that at some point. Last time I got key from them (it has been a while, they might have changed that by now), it was one code for all included games, without the option to create gifts.

The problem with this politic (at least for me) is that the deal gets worse the more of the bundle you already own ... in fact - it can't even be called a bundle offer anymore the moment they simply substract the games you own. I do remember that Steam at least recognizes if you own a game or not and based on that fact is reducing the price ... did they change this?

joppo: Resurrecting this thread because HOLY COW that 93% discount on the Gog-Opera GX Platformer bundle is too good to pass!

It's possible that it is an attractive offer even for those who own one of the games. For those who own none it's a steal.

gog2002x: If I hadn't seen your post, I might have missed it lol. Cause for some reason, I forgot to check the main page deals section this Friday.

Thanks!

P.S. I own the Greak game (standard), since it appears it was a giveaway not too long ago. But at least now I got the deluxe extras. Though it appears the store page doesn't mark the Deluxe as owned. Still a good deal!

You're welcome. I've been in your shoes a few times already, saved only by a timely reminder from some fellow forumite. So I'm just paying a bit back to the community.

The bundle value is greatly diminished because the Hob devs treat GOG customers like second-class citizens by not giving Galaxy Achievements to GOG customers even though they do give Steam customers Steam Achievements for that exact same game. I bought it anyway in hopes the other two games are good, but I feel bad about having inadvertently given money to the Hob devs, even if it's a low amount.

Don't think so.
And yes, it makes the whole point of bundles quite obsolete if they get released long after the original games.
I would very much get the Deluxe Edition of the new Sherlock Holmes game, but I got the codes for game, soundtrack and artbook separatly so only a side mission pack is missing ... dem!
So unless I get a discound for the DE that leaves only the price difference ...

Well - if it helps your conscience. The original studio that developed Hob and that could have added achievements when the game was released does not exist anymore, so I doubt they will get something from your $5.

Even without achievements I really enjoyed the game when I played it years ago.

This discount was an error it seems, so good for those who bought it yesterday.
