Nice.
6 games on there i don't have, and all I get is duplicates.
DAOWAce: If only GOG Connect actually connected every game you own on Steam instead of a select few every few.. months? Half a year? It feels like it's been forever since I was notified about new games being available.
Getting duplicates of games is one of the main reasons why I only bought one pinata as a test, and thankfully I didn't get something that I owned on Steam (Warlord's Battlecry 3), though I don't see myself playing it anyway.
There's also the problem of getting games you don't want.. which is why all these "loot box" things are terrible for consumers.. but great for the business due to the gambling mentality.
And that's gonna get me; I'll buy 2 more to see if I get lucky, but that's all. Current sale doesn't really interest me and I'd rather have my games on Steam anyway.
Edit: Diluvion, second game.
Evixios: Well its purely based on the agreements and contracts GOG is able to make with developers and publishers, just as it is getting the games on the platform in the first place (like with recent Saints Row games) That they manage to go for a GOG connect week at the same time is just good promotion for GOG. But I bet it does cost them a bit out of their pockets too, as I would imagine devs and publishers rather have another full sale (albeit with -75% off). Plus, looking at key-sites and bundles and all, getting games on Steam for cheap and then getting them on GOG for free would be a shitty business model for GOG if it always worked, without a time frame.
I bought 8 pinatas on the first day, which resulted in 5 good games i'd buy anyway and 3 games that were 'meh'. Not because they were (too) bad, purely because they were not my thing. And i'm not downloading 20GB to check a game I don't want.
Accepted the gamble at first, but I just sent support a message to kindly ask to refund those 3 pinatas to my wallet, so I could buy something else. Already got the funds ready for another purchase. No further questions asked, that's why I love GOG.
So you can refund Pinatas you don't want, not just the ones that are duplicates?
