RPG fans, promo hunters, dev supporters! For the next 7 days GOG.com gives you a chance to put three wonderful role-playing games on your shelf, puts you in control over their price, and offers you an opportunity to support the games' hard working and talented developers: Larian Games. Proudly introducing: [url=http://www.gog.com/divinity]GOG Pay What You Want: Divinity Anthology! The "Pay What You Want" can be purchased from GOG.com starting now until 01:00 AM GMT on the 18th of October, 2012.

Set your own fair price for the classic Divine Divinity, where you become the chosen one, destined to fulfil an ancient prophecy and save the Seven Races of Rivellon. In this extensive, challenging, and very addictive game you will encounter many different enemies and a great variety of items, NPCs, and quests.

Beat the average price and receive your copy of Beyond Divinity, the creative continuation of the series, featuring an immersive story of the divine and the daemonic, challenging gameplay with two characters to control at the same time and a huge universe to explore and exploit.

The top 10% of our most generous users will also grant themselves an early access to the upcoming Divinity 2: Developer's Cut.The Developer's Cut, which is the ultimate edition of the game, comes with Divinity II and the expansion Divinity II: Flames of Vengeance, as well as a special developer's mode and extra goodies, will be available on PC on the 18th of October, 2012, but if you buy it here you will get to play it a day earlier than everyone else! The "Director's Cut" subtitle also means, that you'll have the unique opportunity to experience the game just as the developers did: with optional access to developer console you'll feel like the god of the realm.

But that's not all! All of the games come with an extensive amount of goodies--especially Divinity 2: Developer's Cut features a crazy amount of bonus materials (all of which you can access as soon as you finalize your purchase). To make things even more interesting, Larian Games told us that as the sales progress, they will be releasing some very special announcements and interesting videos. Heard enough? Go to the GOG Pay What You Want: Divinity Anthology page!

MarioFanaticXV: At this rate, I have a feeling deals like this won't happen very often on GOG... At this point, people can essentially preorder the game for 25% off and get two games for free while doing it. I don't think that was the intended purpose of this offer...

Garugo: Well, right now it's at around $14, compared to the $32 it would normally be, that's a 55% discount. So really, right now anyway, it's less than the previous weekend promos they've held. At the beginning of the PWYW it was a far larger percent discount, though, from what this thread's mentioned.
Really? When I first saw it, it was at 20.99 USD, and I've only been seeing it go down.

I'm generally a very happy person with my 20 dollar purchase :D!

Haha, Divinity2:DKS -75% on Steam now. Nice one. :p

With all this emphasis on a FAIR price, it's ironic that the game developers/publishers turned around 24 hours later and screwed over the ones who encouraged them. I paid $21 despite already owning the first two games on the assumption that the game developer was also playing fair. The day after, they sell the game for $10 on Steam. Fair my ass. This was a pay-what-you-want-as-long-as-we-get-to-fleece-you bundle. I'm willing to believe that GOG was deceived right along with its clients, but they should be offering a refund to those who want it. GOG have always been honest and they shouldn't tie their name to such deceptive marketing practices.

Except Dragon Knight Saga is there as it's Published by Focus Home Interactive, and Larian themselves are the Publisher for the Director's Cut. I don't think they have a say in what goes on for DKS.

When you bought the anthology did you not think it was a fair price? I realize nobody likes to see something they just bought, or similar, on sale somewhere else the next day, but that doesn't retroactively make the purchase unfair.

Steam sets the prices and determines sales, not the developers.

Steam / Amazon / etc have had sales on DKS (and other games) before, and often react to a sale someone else does first.

GOG partly or mostly designed sale in cooperation with Larian, and implemented it. They were hardly deceived (and shouldn't be terribly surprised) about the possibility someone could pay more for the anthology than a difference site could put one of the games on sale for later.

So will GOG decrease the sale goals for the video unlocks to be added to the games? If this were honestly to be an overall success and reach all the goals then I'd have expected the first number of sales to have been met by now but the ones after the first seem hardly possible, let alone within reason.

GamersGate does it often too, I've noticed.

A game will go on sale on GOG, then 24 hours later GamersGate will also put it up for sale at a $1 or more cheaper.

It's called "business".

Steam will always undercut because they can and because they're damned and determined to be a monopoly, and gamers who should know better but don't will keep buying everything on Steam "because it's cheap" until there are no other choices left.

Then they'll all be bitching because "Steam won't play fair".

Me? I'll happily pay a bit more money if it means I have more choices.

I'll be honest and say that I don't know how these things work. However, I would imagine that that sale was by Steam/Valve, not necessarily the devs. I don't think it's fair to point fingers and allege sneaky behaviour on people's parts unless you know that that actually is the case. Do you?

And NO, you're not getting ripped off.

It's now only $13.26 for THREE games, whereas Steam is charging 10 bucks for just one. It's hardly GOG's fault that you rushed off to buy a game the minute the deal went up. The rules of the promo are clearly explained, and anyone who has ever participated in buying a bundle knows they go up and then they go down.

It's like bitching about playing the slots and losing a hundred bucks, then blaming the casino.

LEAVE GOG ALONE!

Seriously, guys, BTA deals have fluctuating prices. You risk paying more or less based on when you buy. GOG didn't do this on purpose to screw you over.

I feel sorry for everyone who'll buy the old Divinity 2:DKS on STEAM right now, when enhanced Divinity 2: Developer's Cut with goodies is right around the corner.
