Why does MechWarrior 2 only have 2670 votes. My world makes no sense.

I was thinking something similar for No One Lives Forever, with only 4300 votes. :smith:

Good thing I still have the original CDs.

I just decided to spend all of :10bux:

x 1.5 and get the "Indie Puzzlebox" set: Shattered Haven, Incredipede, Unmechanical, Space Chem, Puddle, and The Ball. So many excellent choices here. Anyone here have any favorites out of this bunch? I'm looking for recommendations on which game to start with.

Maybe it's just people with scripts auto-buying it by accident. Hopefully they'll gift it to friends or something.

Same here. Hadn't heard of it before, then I saw the page, and it looked really intriguing. I hope to catch it on the next round.

Is this the first time they've done a sale like this? I'm hoping that they do a post-mortem when it's all done and work on finding ways to make it less bot-friendly next time. I say these even if I realize it's just an arms race against people with too much spare time.

Hoping to see Aquanox 1 again pretty soon, since I missed that on the first round.

It will be interesting to see what lessons GOG learns from this and applies next time. My own personal take-away from this is that people will download a free game without even knowing what it is, they'll buy a $2 game if it looks even remotely appealing, and for a $10 game, they'll think about it a long... long... time.

Hi Gog, if you could sell all those copies of Puddle, a game I already own, and then put up Thief II for $1.99 before I finish my morning cup of coffee and have to drive to work, I'd really appreciate it. tia

Well, Jade Empire certainly sold out quickly. :catstare:

Is there an updated list of what remains yet? Still hoping for Thief II.

They have Heroes of Might and Magic 1, 2 and 3 on sale for $2.49 each, so I've decided to finally see what the fuss is about and pick one up.

Question is, which one? I'd would think just "3" based on the reviews, but, are they all so amazingly awesome that I should buy them all?

According to this useful Reddit thread http://www.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/comments/25mvg6/gog_updated_google_doc_of_whats_done_and_whats/ posted here earlier, Painkiller isn't on its last chance yet.

I'm a bit late to it all, but does "last chance" mean the game will never be on sale again, or that the game will never be on GOG again?

All the site changes are confusing me so. :ohdear:

I decided to try out the Mutator promo. I ordered Deponia, Divinity 2, and Dust, and for the three random choices I ended up with Wizardry 6&7, Influx, and Luftrausers. Are any of the three randoms worth trying out?
