Kaylakaze: Maybe if the people at GoG had pulled their heads out of their butts sooner and provided a proper client that did what Steam and Desura do several years ago, Steam wouldn't be the go to option for most gamers. Many people now won't buy something on GoG and will even spend a few dollars more to have it on Steam. I know I'm hesitant to buy stuff on GoG because I know it'll be more of a hassle to download and install, and then, since I don't have a client which is essentially my central hub of gaming, I'm less likely to play a GoG game that I have installed.
Wait - you don`t want to buy a game from gog because gog doesn`t force you to download and install a client which is active in the backgroung, stealing ram and processor power?
Man, from which planet did you escape?
Most gamers love their freedom to play and install a bought game where- and whenever they want! Since I´m on gog I didn`t buy any games from Steam anymore!

FWIW, you don't actually need their email, you can just give them the code in your PM-reply. ;-)

alright, thanks. I'm new to the forum - is this the right place to communicate it anyway?

Welcome to the GOG community!

There's a number of ways you could go about it. I assume that you got the code during yesterday's flash freebies, so this thread is fine, but your post may get buried after a short time span. For more visibility, you could try The GOG Community Gifting Thread (it's primarily for requests, but you can post your offer too) or Open this thread... (probably more suitable, as folks post about codes they're giving away).

HeDanny: So, no re-appearance of the Omerta Japanese DLC since the freebie? Spewin I missed it at the time.
avatar
Lemon_Curry: It's sold separately and therefore wasn't part of the freebie.
Sorry, I did not state that as clearly as I could. I meant to ask if it had gone on sale again since the one time it was on sale, which was also the same time the base game was given for free.
Posted June 26, 2014
Thanks! It's already gone, but I'm sure there will be other sales, other freebies or trades.

Ah, I see. No, according to the tracking list it has yet to reappear in the flash sale (though it's still 50% off in the regular):

No, he doesn't want to buy a game from GOG because they don't allow him to download and install such a client. That is a very significant difference, and it's a big deal to a lot of people.

A big reason Steam has become as popular as it has is convenience, and no matter how you look at it, Steam is more convenient than GOG precisely because installing is essentially one click and updating is automatic.

Most people here might value DRM-free higher than the added convenience of Steam, but for other people, it's the opposite, so they're more likely to go to Steam. Hell, until recently, I myself used to prefer Steam for newer games, even when that very same game would be cheaper for me to buy on GOG.

Of course, this will soon be a thing of the past - GOG Galaxy is coming, and that will bring us much closer to matching the Steam feature set (without the drawbacks of third-party DRM, etc.). Even though the client isn't here yet, I'm already now more likely to go for a GOG purchase than a Steam purchase than I was before.
