I didn't say I woldn't shop here again... why are you reading into that so hard? As far as I know Steam is the next platform to have a big sale. So that's where I'll be looking to buy the games I'm waiting to buy. What the hell man?

Thanks for the tip, that's pretty cool.

To be fair, you didn't quite explain it very well (only now have you mentioned that you were being notified via email, only received one, and don't normally check the site page...most people who say they prefer buying from X website check it fairly often), and the way you worded the OP, it sounded like you where whining about GOG saying "Screw you guys! Imma go to Steam! Steam's WAAAAAY better!"
I apologize if I or others were rude to you, but the thing is, we get a lot of posters/trolls in here who make posts like I just mentioned and then either leave or continue to promote Steam endlessly. We get so many that it gets annoying, to the point that whenever somebody says something like "Guess I'll be buying from Steam from now on!", it automatically raises our hackles and we think "Oh, great. It's another one of THOSE accounts!"

Personally, can't complain. E-mails (enough, but not *too* many), clearly modified website appearance, social network coverage and streaming. As far as I'm concerned, this was perfect. Perhaps consider following GOG on Twitter, Facebook, or perhaps Twitch? Could help in case the mail gets lost somewhere.

Fair enough. My apologies as well. I did not mean for things to come off sounding that way.

I don't use twitter or facebook, but I will look them up on twitch. I had no idea they were on there. I think one thing they could try to do is notify some of the popular youtubers about things like this. It seems like you always see videos go up about steam sales but rarely about gog sales. There is definitely a problem with their email marketing though. It could be that they used a different campaign source for their sale if they were sending out more than the normal amount of emails. I don't have any issues receiving their normal email, I checked my spam and have NEVER had anything from them go to spam. I received an email on Nov 2nd about the tyranny preorder, and then nothing until 2am EST on the 14th which was after the sale had ended, which had the subject that the fall sale was ending soon.

So yeah just seems like there was definitely a problem with the email campaign, and a quick search on youtube for gog fall sale yields pretty much nothing for this year. Not sure what happened. I mean they don't even have a video up on their own youtube channel about the sale lol... Seems like there might be room for improvement.

I'm not sure how much attention GOG gets as compared to those who follow Our Lord and Savior the Almighty Gabe Newell. This place is admittedly a little niche, primarily aimed at DRM-free games/old games.

I can definitely recommend GOG Twitch channel. :-) Personally, I find the various streamers entertaining, and if nothing else, it's an opportunity to watch some of the more obscure games being played. Can't remember any other stream where I could watch games like Space Quest, Zork, or Alone in the Dark. :-)
