Hey all! Sorry for not communicating this clearly that all gifts were already sent a few hours ago. So check your mailbox if you haven't already, to see if there is something from GOG.
Yes, we had thousands of games to give out, but as you can probably imagine we have many, many more active users eligible for this giveaway. Hope the sale will sweeten it a bit for you, if you did not receive a freebie.

There have been a few questions dropped after my previous post, so let me address that.

Who we call those mystery "active users"? And why these are not only long-time forum users?

So an active user means lots of things, but in general it's a user which in a selected time frame (be it 1 week, 30 days, 3 months, etc.) was interacting with GOG in any way - it can be a post on the forums, a purchase, adding game to a wishlist, etc. These are users who have GOG accounts, and are still using the service, and show interest in what we have on offer. That's why if you saw a user who had only 5 rep points and they got a free game, it means the user might not be a frequent forum poster, but they are still interacting with GOG in other ways.

How many games were given out?

In total, there were more than 10k games given away to GOG users.

What games were given out?

Thanks to our great partners we were able to give out most of the titles that you can find in the Most Wanted Sale.

And just to finish, I'd like to say it's a great pity to see all those angry posts here. And I do understand where they are coming from, the messaging we did was misinterpreted and the whole thing was overhyped.
But the whole purpose of this was us wanting to give out free games to GOG users, and we decided to give you a heads up about it. We will definitely be more careful next time we prepare communication for such event, but I'd like you to understand our intension was to make you happy about it, while you don't have to do anything to be eligible to win.

Hope that clears it a bit.
