There is some "bundles" which includes already prediscounted games, like Samta was scared, with System Shock 2 for 2$. There is no difference to get that games in pack or alone, discounted price already set in game page. And there is more usual "buy all for extra discount: bundles, which force you to purchase games you maybe not interested in.

The Recommended Deals all gave you the advertised discount, even for individual games, the Community Deals not.

And I just realised that all of today's Deals are only from the Community Deals pool, so "buy all or complete the bundle" to get the higher discount.


EDIT: typo

I'm curious what these breakthrough projects could be. I hope one of them includes bringing X-Wing VS. Tie Fighter to GOG.

A man (or woman) can dream, can't they!

I was going to clear out my wishlist on this last day of the sale. Turns out I added so many to it during this sale that it wasn't really feasible. Still picked up 20 games for $93, can't complain about that.

Yes. And, sadly, I haven't bought any game from the daily deals. Nothing of my interest has appeared there :(

18 games for myself, 2 games given away.
Good sale.
Now, everybody: Deadly Premonition is for $9.99. Get it.

Looking for someone who already own the Chivalry Chest, and can help me get Stronghold HD and Stronghold Crusader HD at $1.49+$2.49.

In return, I can offer a $5 game on GOG. Thanks!

Bring back the Miasmata/Robinson's Requiem!

I just got an e-mail from GOG headed 'LAST CHANCE: 80% off for up to 600 games as we wrap up our Winter sale!' I think what they meant was, 'up to 80% off for 600 games'.

GOG vs Big Fish Games

i'm still hesitating

yep saw that yesterday as well. Wonder if its correct or something lost in translation?.wonder what major changes could be? fixes changes to forum?. new publishers?. Gog client? he he

That would be adding new games to the collection, not something that is a major project related to the website itself.

They've had numerous job postings for web designers and whatnot and hinted at major changes coming in 2014 that are hinted to expand the reach of GOG to a larger audience. To me this means they are looking at changes to the site and software which are intended to improve the customer experience and make the site more accessible to a larger number of people. It's been a while since the last major site renovation so it should be interesting to see what they do.

Also, while the mere concept of a more full blown OPTIONAL gaming client is quite controversial with some GOG customers on the forums, I for one think that an OPTIONAL client that makes downloading/installing/launching/updating games much easier on the end user will be of benefit to a lot of customers and will make GOG's offerings available to a larger audience and bring in some hordes of gamers that might otherwise not bother as they prefer modern clients like Steam/Desura/etc. over the currently minimalistic approach of the GOG downloader. I'm hoping this is the "audacious" change they refer to when they say:

"We want to launch audacious new features on GOG.com that will make us bigger, better, and more fun for our gamers." Minor tweaks to the website or addition of new games doesn't really come across as being "audacious" to me, so I think "what does sound audacious?" and "full blown modern gaming client" comes to mind as a way to ...

"We want to look beyond the obvious and grow in new and unexpected ways to bring the DRM-Free Revolution to gamers who've never heard of us or who don't know about DRM.

There are many big name games which utilize features available in platforms like Steam that the developers allegedly feel offering their games elsewhere that does not have those features would be unfair or give a disparity of end user experience they do not wish to have - even if they otherwise entertain the idea of DRM. To me, this means for these games to go DRM free, that the given service that wants to provide that needs to grow in a manner that provides online services that enable these optional modern gaming elements to exist in the DRM-free world. Of course, I'm just reading between the lines and hypothesizing, but I can't really think of many things I'd consider to be an "audacious" change which is likely to draw in hordes of gamers from the wider market, so I'll be surprised if they're not planning something of this sort going forward. It will take a combinational effort between GOG and the game publishers to pull this off effectively but I think it is totally doable, and Postal 2's upcoming update is an example of this IMHO.

"So help us with that, Santa, and we're confident that we will continue to surprise, delight, amaze, astound, and impress gamers all around the globe; we'll continue to grow; and we'll continue to do everything that makes GOG.com a different (and dare we say "better"?) place for gamers. We never ask you for easy things, Santa, because we don't ask ourselves for easy things. We want to drive ourselves to make big changes, and we hope we'll be able to do so in 2014."

They say "drive ourselves to make big changes" there again. Some new CSS on the website and user interface / site flow changes wouldn't really be "big changes" to me, so again I read this as a hint of some major new thing coming that we did not have anything of the sort of before, rather than a fresh lick of paint.

Gaming client! Gaming client! Gaming client! :)

Ok, now all the naysayers can burn the witch for saying that. All 10 of them that is. :)

What bundles lost in the community vote ?
