Hello everyone,

I love GOG. For many reasons. That's why I want to give priority to GOG over Steam, for all the games that are available on GOG.

But I think that GOG don't help this to happen.
What happens, indeed, if a game I want is in sale on Steam but not on GOG? I could wait for a GOG sale but most people would, in a such situation, buy the game on Steam.

The result is that GOG looses a sale.

Therefore, why don't GOG sale the games in the same time than Steam does? GOG would not loose sales, and guys like me would be happy to give priority to GOG. Everyone would be happy.

Am I wrong?
If you really love GOG, then you should be able to wait. :)
GOG isn't Steam, that's why.
Not too many games sold on Steam,make it to Gog...

I think what he meant to ask is: WTF?!?

New AAA titles from Steam don't make it to GOG, but indie titles and old Star Wars games do.
Oh shit. This poor guy ask a serious question and gunsynd and yyahoo turn it into an Abbot and Costello routine! :P

Man you thought I was a menace to threads. XD

What the What?! :P
Oh look, another one of these threads.

GoG cannot run sales of the same titles at the same time because it is not up to GoG when to run sales. It is up to the developer/publisher.

Those two score a 6.2 on the TinyE scale!

Glocon: why don't GOG sale the games in the same time than Steam does?
Because Gog tries not to be a follower.
For exemple right now there is The vanishing of Evan Carter and Mind: Path to Thalamus at -50 and -60% on Steam.
That was the reason why I created this thread.

I don't know if you're wrong.

What I do know is that a lot of GOG's customers don't buy games on Steam if they're also available here so it doesn't really matter whether they're on sale on Steam or not. Which means they're not actually losing sales for not doing discounts at the same time as Steam as you're suggesting.

Also, I guess that's up to the devs and publishers to decide too.

People that "love GOG" will patiently wait for their sales or simply pay full price.
