"Free items added to your GOG.com library."

Normally the subject line for the email receipt is "Your order #12345678abcdef is complete!", but my recent purchase had the above for a subject line. It certainly wasn't free, but I did pay with wallet funds (for Morrowind, if you're curious). The email otherwise looks normal. Kinda strange. Anyone else get a drunk GOG emailer?

...

Actually, as I'm writing this and thinking about it, it's probably because buying the Bethesda games gives you Arena and Daggerfall and they're considered free. They don't show up on the receipt or the orders page, but I guess the receipt generator gets confused and tells you you got free games.

Well, I don't really have a question about this anymore, but I'm gonna post this anyway in case it helps someone else in the future. :)

Yeah getting arena and daggerfall glitch is about the only thing I can think of.

Nope, that ain't it. I've been using the wallet feature, and lately every game I buy with wallet funds seems to be getting that "free item" moniker for whatever reason.

Gog probably classes the wallet funds as a discount rather than a payment method internally, so if you pay entirely in wallet funds it may look like it's free.

Someone messed up at GOG.

Yep, this is kinda weird. I hope they fix it soon.

That was my second suspicion, but went with the Arena/Daggerfall explanation instead because I paid for Alan Wake with wallet funds recently also and the receipt was normal. Must be a new-ish bug then I guess.

They seem to have fixed it... I ran across the same thing with a purchase two days ago, but now I got the right subject line for the summer sale ("Your order #blablablabla is complete!").

It wasn't a temporary glitch however, I've been getting the same kind of post-purchase emails for a while now - it all seems to have started during the "Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves" giveaway.
