So even though I myself am suffering from near freezing temperatures lately, apparently in the strange northlands it is now summer, and a tradition amongst the northern barbarians is to have a Summer Sale on computer games about this time of year, with even discounts of 70%!

So, is this going to happen?
Yes, but this time they're planning something different - instead of discounting games by 70%, they're going to remove 70% of each game's content.
And then resell it as DLC?
Not bad 70% less downloading...but i thought that they cut their servers by 70%
Wait, wait, wait!!! I thought it was supposed to be 70% more cowbell!

If it's anything like last year's GOG summer sale, almost all of the catalog is going to be 90% off for one hour only.

You misunderstood: they'll cut 70% of the game and replace it with 70% of a DRM-free pizza.
In fact in GOG summer sale they are going to lower the prices for their whole catalogue by 50% for users of the northern hemisphere, while users of the southern hemisphere will have to pay twice the price.

+26 Celsius promised here up in north later this week, woohoo! Polar bears will dance salsa with penguins!

Anyway, to make things more interesting, GOG should somehow couple the Summer Sale discounts to the weather in Warsaw (isn't that where GOG HQ is located?). Something like that the daily discount percentage is 50 + day temperature in Warsaw in Celsius degrees. I think summer temperatures in Warsaw often go easily beyond +30 C but not quite to +40 C, so the discount would daily fluctuate maybe between 70-85%?
