Now, you've stocked up on games, enjoy your summer!

Time does fly when you're having fun! The 2014 DRM-Free Summer Sale is now over. Thanks for being with us! This was the most wide-spread, exciting, and varied promo we've had to date. We've offered you great discounts on 700+ games, 30 custom-tailored game bundles, a gaming knowledge contest, and four free game giveaways. We hope that gamers all over the world are set-up for the summer with DRM-Free games to enjoy wherever they may go on their vacation. We know we've had fun and judging from your enthusiastic feedback - so did you. We took notes on your praises, complaints, and suggestion to make the future sales even better. Thank you for being with us and making GOG.com even better, step by step. As for those of you who only now joined the biggest and merriest DRM-Free gaming community in the world: welcome and enjoy your stay. We'll do our very best to make it interesting for everyone!

The 2014 DRM-Free Summer Sale is now over, but that doesn't mean we don't have more excitement in store for you. Quite soon, you can expect news about GOG Galaxy, our up-and-coming DRM-Free online gaming platform, The Witcher Adventure Game, CD Projekt RED's newest addition to the gaming Witcherverse, and an interesting update on our planned Linux support. Not to mention some fantastic new releases coming your way… Truly, this is an exciting time to be a Gogger. Thank you for choosing to be one!

FearfulSymmetry: I thought the sale was pretty good. It was a bit slow at times with the repeating flash deals, but I managed to grab quite a few awesome games, and the bundles were really nice as well.
^ this.

I'm a little too hyper or used to the insomnia sales I guess, but this one, while the prices were great, and I bought a lot, moves a bit slow for me. Maybe if they had ran 5 or so flashes at a time, or popped in some type of short term giveaways on several days instead of one?

korell: Hmm, it is possible that I mixed it up with another sale, but I'm sure i saw the games as a bundle and not separately. Maybe it was the Steam Summer Sale where I saw it?

HypersomniacLive: Can't help you with that, I neither follow nor care about Steam sales.

tfishell: Frankly I'm glad it's over; I'd like to get back to seeing some new releases.

HypersomniacLive: Missed grumping? ;-P

I actually took some time to search for an interesting one so you better be grateful for it you ungrateful shit.

Also, if there are any Bethesda or id games you'd buy if they came to GOG, make sure you contact them - http://www.gog.com/forum/general/bethesdaidzenimax_contact_thread

Drerhu: IMHO, a better sale than Steam´s sale : ) (so I hope next season sales would be similar,please!)

And thank you for the freebies! (I only catch the attention about Omerta, but what were the other two games? :o)
Magrunner: Dark Pulse, Still Life 2, Torchlight and Alan Wake: American Nightmare

IronArcturus: How are the Rayman games? Do they work well on Windows 7? Can an Xbox 360 controller work with Rayman 1-3?
avatar
haydenaurion: Rayman 1 works fine cause it's a DOSBox game. Rayman 2 works on my Win 7 64 bit PC, but you'll have to try and find the right GPU driver as some of the drivers prevent the game from working at all. Rayman Origins has a nasty save corrupting bug that can occur randomly and was never fixed, make copies of your save files often and hope it works. I can't speak for Rayman 3 as I don't have it.

Xbox 360 controllers work fine for Rayman 1, Origins and I think 2 (can't remember).
Wow, I've never heard of that Rayman Origins save bug. Is that listed in the GOG forums? Is there really no way to fix it?

Drakeer: On other news, can I ask for the background of today sales to put as a new wallpaper for my computer?

I wouldn't mind to have a gog.com logo in a corner of the image.
I'm no graphic artist, but using the image Randoo provided... where you thinking of something like the attached file?

Yeah, I'm not a designer neither but I tried to put the logo on the ship's sail and it is amateur but good enough to me hehe

Many people have problems with gamepads and Rayman 1 (including me), check the game forums for more info.

I hope Blackguards comes up on a flash sale. I can't remember if there was one earlier or not. I think it was.

I will assume that the torture of the two weeks sale that you endured has gotten the better of you and leave it at that as you apparently can't take a tease and needed to resort to foul language.

Have a nice day.

So... Banished was a red herring, then?

It is part of the flash sales but hasnt been seen since Thursday, so should be due pretty soon. Sale price is $14.99.

I must resist those bundle deals . Wanted to buy books instead of GOG games . （；_・）
Posted June 29, 2014
GOG is making it very difficult to not buy games. I promised myself I was done after day one! :P

/returns to staring at Cognition, hoping it will disappear before willpower crumbles
Posted June 29, 2014
This was a good sale :)
Posted June 29, 2014
I hope that Wizardry 8 comes up again. I've waited for the last day but there was nothing interesting on steam sale so I have still some money.
