With 700+ games discounted up to 90% off, daily special Bundle Deals, a constant stream of exciting Flash Sales, and some fantastic surprise giveaways, we launch into the season of gaming joy!

The biggest celebration of DRM-Free gaming this season is right now, right here on GOG.com! It's warm and nice outside, the summer draws ever closer, so let's make sure it's full of fantastic games. There's no one good way to spend your summer, but we know well that gaming can make every single one of them better. So, whether you plan to stay inside, hike into the wilderness, or take a boat into the calm sea, we'll make sure your laptop is filled with great DRM-Free games you can enjoy anytime, anywhere. To that end, we're holding our [url=http://www.gog.com]2014 DRM-Free Summer Sale!

Each day we'll present you with at least two special Bundle Deals with a selection of of great classics and indies available up to 90% off! As usual, you'll be able to buy just selected titles out of the bundle with a slightly lower discount, or complete your collection with just the ones you're missing, retaining the higher discount rate. Let's take a look at our offers for today, shall we?

Today, we seriously mix things up to bring you both lighthearted comedy as well as dark and morbid horror. The Legacy of Kain Saga is the Full House of gaming with its family themes and colorful presentation. Across four episodes ironically titled Soul Reaver, Soul Reaver 2, Blood Omen 2, and Defiance the series explores the relation between Kain, a authoritative father with obvious god complex, and Raziel, his rebellious son with questionable fashion sense. The story also includes many of their relatives from extended family, that cannot help but to make a mess in their imaginary homeland called Nosgoth. Hilarity ensues! All this cheerful moments for only $5.96 (that's 75% off!). The other of our offers today, is bound to chill the blood in your veins with its terrifying setting alone. The Deponia Complete Trilogy takes place on a distant planet. A planet, that long ago must have been not so different from our own Earth. Yet now, it is a grim and dark place that suffered a tragic environmental disaster. The surface of the planet is now completely covered with waste. Toxic rain flushes the pollution deep into the ground, poisoning it and making the land barren. Way above, there's the remaining enclave of civilization, housing the remnant of the human race. Now imagine one of them, a defenseless girl, falls down to the toxic junkyard below. Even though she doesn't die instantly poisoned with every imaginable toxin, her future looks grim. The wasteland is filled with danger, and soon she'll find out that she is not alone among the towering piles of garbage. What strange mutated monsters could have survived in such conditions? And what do they eat? The horror! All the thrills for just $11.97 (that's 80% off!). There you have it, a mix of laughter and cries of despair to fill your weekend with gripping gaming. Or did we overdo the mixing?

On top of that, almost all of our catalog has been discounted by up to 50%. On top of that, our front page is overflowing with excellent Flash Sales on single games. You can grab them up to 90% as well, but don't take to long, as they come and go pretty fast! Why don't you head out to GOG.com front page, and see what's happening right NOW!

RWarehall: Let me put it simply then...
What is your flawless perfect system then?
It's easy to gripe, what's better?
I'm sure GoG would like to know as well.
well, the perfect system would be to be giving you all games for free, and on top of that paying you too....rofls just kidding

first off, I wouldn't go to specify the perfect system since:
a) it doesn't exist (unless you can do the above)

but instead, you could make/provide with a system having few flaws....
because, there is no system in the world that is flawed, its just the level of flaws that defines the how perfect a system is or not....

also, i will need to write a thesis to outline everything, which is...pointless.

first off, they could provide with more games/titles per time active as flash-sale

second, they could increase the time-frame for a flash-sale (e.g. a title being active for flash-sale for 4-6 hours or you can set any value you want)

third, they could notify when each title will pop up for flash-sale (well, that would beat the flash-sale purpose, so skip that)
they could have flash-sale price as variable, like it starts at 60% discount and the more copies people buy, the discount goes up to 80%-85%-90% (or some value)
they could have rounds (e.g 4 rounds for the duration of the summer-sale promo, meaning all games will appear once only at each round) now, you do not know for a fact 110% that a title will re-appear until the end of the summer sale (fact), do you??

anyways, they 've seen my request and monkey island will be up in 1 hour so.... i'd rather get ready to go to the beach than keep this argument going on
Prepared for Tales of Monkey Island...

Love GOGs offers

HypersomniacLive: The frequency the games show up as a flash deal most likely depends on individual agreements between GOG and the devs/pubs for this sale event, so if the Insomnia Promos are anything to go by, then large number of copies to be sold = more appearances and very limited.number of copies to be sold = fewer appearances.
So, unless we know the details of each agreement, one would need to first check if there's a pattern to rarely appearing games and then study it in order to roughly estimate the time a specific game might show up.
Personally, I'm too lazy to do it on such a beautiful day. ;-)
It would make my brain hurt. It's too early and it's a weekend! Nuf said!
I'll say this. I like this system better than Insomnia (too many bogged down titles and popular titles left too quick). I like it better than the one game from each year sale (forget what it was called) because each game only came up once and that was that. Here you get multiple opportunities although you might have to work for it.

In terms of more flash sales, they have done that. Day one had three times as many, so did the 18th (and likely the 29th last day will have as many - 6 games every 36 minutes).

You get some bundles that are up all day, you get flash sales you need to watch for. And you get most games at all times for half price. There is something for everyone. Even the free game, all who logged in that day and clicked got it. No random button mashing.

Personally, I think this has been one of the smoothest sales to date. But hey, that's just my opinion.

Indeed, it's the best seasonal promo I've seen since I've been on GOG so far and it isn't over yet. I'm still waiting for the anti-sale to come up that they mentioned before in an interview. :)
There's another reason this sale is awesome too. If you do something that involves making decisions for thousands or tens of thousands of people and nobody complains at all, then you're doing something very wrong and most likely nobody is around at all to even notice. If people are complaining, then you're doing a good job because they're actually there.

Well, it's my opinion too. =D My life can't accommodate the frantic pace of an insomnia sale and I want to be able to think over my purchases, consolidate them into fewer transactions than one game per charge on my card. I've bought much more this sale than I have in a long time.

yes, i would agree on that.

although I haven't been around since GOG's creation, and this is the 3rd GOG's sale i am around, I consider it a great improvement...in regards to the Insomnia sale

ps: Summoner 2nd time within less than 24 hours (and imagine I don't keep track of games, i just remember title from yesterday, if for a game that I don't know what its about)
