Pay what you want, grab up to 3 excellent RPGs, support Larian Studios!

Quick summary:
1. Set your own fair price.
2. Get up to 3 Divinity Games, including Divinity II: Developer's Cut.
3. Own some of the games? No problem--you'll get the gift codes to give to friends.
4. Bonus for you:
* enjoy exclusive access to Divinity II: Developer's Cut one day before the release
* tons of goodies for all the games
* unlock special videos from Larian Studios

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!

Shameless begging effort in the hope that some kind soul will gift me the bundle... (hey... stranger things have happened...)

And if they do I'd be quite grateful...

Nergal01: Down to $12 for all three games. I am seriously tempted here.
Well, it started from $10 so i gues it cant go lower than that

Davane: IIRC, the paypal fee is actually in relation to the transaction amount for sellers, so it is impossible to cause the seller to lose money.

Psyringe: I agree with most of your post, but I've seen the Humble Bundle managers, as well as several devs on Indievania, state that purchases of 0.01$ actually lose them money. There is a fixed fee that is applied to every Paypal transaction, IIRC it's either 0.05$ or 0.30$ depending on the way your set your account up. You have to pay this fee even if it's larger then the volume of the transaction.
Yes, that's the case. There's a flat fee plus a percentage. The normal one is $0.30 + whatever percentage, while there's also a 'microtransaction' one which is $0.05 + a bigger percentage.

I think the crossover point is something like $7 (below that the microtransaction model is better value, above that the normal one is).

Davane: As an infinite virtual media, the games themselves can be sold and redistributed indefinately, without the loss of the original copy. It costs nothing to make additional copies after the first. This is an important aspect for all digital distribution methods, because you only ever have original expenses to create the material in the first place, after which profits are unending, even when they slow to a trickle. This is a snowball effect.
1. The infrastructure costs money.
2. Even positing free infrastructure, profit can (and does) fold into a finite sum if you account for inflation, unless the work in question is a "classic". Inflation is exponential.
3. Opportunity costs are real.
4. GOG and Larian are not idealists, they knew people would be buying DD for $0.01, and they expect to gain some advantage from it. Only they will know if/when the plan succeeds, but it is not risk-free.

The price for the whole shebang continues to drop. If it gets below $10, I might actually grab it. Of course, my threshold would be higher if I didn't already own DD and BD.

I didn't thought the price would drop this much after the 21 spike. I ended up picking it up yesterday.

Namur: I didn't thought the price would drop this much after the 21 spike. I ended up picking it up yesterday.
I thought the same. I figured I would pass on this deal, but when I saw it just over $12 this morning, had to grab it. I don't mean to be a cheapskate, but I already own all three games (D2:DKS sans Directors Cut, I guess), so it's hard for me to justify a repurchase just to get it w/o DRM. Taking that into account, I'd still have liked to pay even less, but I'm doubting it will get that low again. I apparently missed the $10 someone else mentioned that it started at. That would have been a sweet price for me. In the end, it's more about padding my GOG collection and continuing to support this awesome site and community.

Same here, i wanted this simply to have Div2 on my GOG shelf but at 21 or there abouts i couldn't justify repurchasing these 3 games for the third time. It worked out better than what i originally expected but gog still needs to fine tune the formula for the next one.

Thank you GOG and Larian! I admit I only paid $15 for the 3 games in order to get them DRM-free. However, in my defense, I already purchased all 3 as they came out at full price and in fact bought Divinity 2 twice in order to get both versions of it. Oh and I had already purchased DD on GOG prior to this as well. Going to gift my extra copy to a friend I guess.

I think the top contributor cutoff was about $15 when I bought the bundle (didn't get the confirmation email, sadly). I wish I could've paid more, but I pledged a lot on kickstarter recently and got the boxed anthology.

Is it me, or did the unlock milestones just change to lower numbers?

Yes the milestone numbers have been lowered. Just saw that now.

You're right. They've been reduced by two thirds, apparently. The last milestone used to be150,000, now it's 50,000. Meaning that tech demo is right around the corner.

psikoh: Was hoping it would be able to as it says it includes both Steam and non-DRM on the Larian site. Guess that's just ones straight from them/boxed copies...
avatar
Raze_Larian: Yes, that is referring to the boxed version of the anthology. As an aside, Larian is working on adding Steam keys for the digital purchases through the Larian Vault. .
avatar
BlueMooner: Also, how worth it is it to pay extra just to get a dev console for game 3?
avatar
Raze_Larian: Larian is working with Steam and Focus on a patch for DKS to add the Developer Mode (which is the only difference between DKS and D2:DC, aside from the bonus content with the GOG version or the anthology). .
avatar
BlueMooner: Thanks guys. While they look too 'actiony' to me, I guess $16 isn't too much for D2, which seems okay, and I can consider the first two as extras.
avatar
Raze_Larian: There is a fair bit of combat, but playing Divine Divinity I could pretty much always switch to to doing quests or exploring when I wasn't in the mood for fighting. The beginning is heavy on combat, but the interactions and quests around the first town gave a good idea of what the game was about (and a certain encounter in the starting catacombs made the game a must buy when I was playing the demo). The end of the game is also mostly hack and slash, but most of it can be skipped. I posted a description of the first 2 games compared to the third in the Larian forum topic Beyond Divinity available for download. What did you like about the first Divine Divinity?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------
Will the NON-STEAM versions of Divinity 2: DKS get updated w/ a patch to turn it into Director's Cut (with the Developer's Mode)? I have Divinity 2: DKS from Amazon Digital Video Games service and it is DRM-FREE there. It's NOT fair if Steam version gets updated, yet the Non-Steam version DO NOT get updated. And for the record - I also own from the original Divinity 2: Ego Draconis on DVD disc from Retail. I'm sick of this double & triple, & multiple-dipping crap that goes on in this gaming industry. And I own Divine Divinity from retail on disc (not as updated) and also from GameStop PC App so I could get an even more patched-up Divine Divinity.
