600+ games discounted by at least 50%, bundle deals up to 80% off, daily personal deals!

It is here: 2013 DRM-Free Winter Sale on GOG.com! The biggest, the loudest, the most varied, and the most exciting sale we've ever done begins now. How big is it? There are way over 600 games from our catalog steadily discounted by at least 50%. How loud is it? Let's just mention the fact, that we're opening with a triple nuclear blast, giving away Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics for FREE the next 48 hours. How varied is it? On top of regular discounts you'll have daily deals including games presented by YouTube personalities, hot thematic bundles chosen each day by our dear users, offered with up to 80% discounts, and--finally--daily personal deals where you pick one of the special offers available to you, and you only. How exciting is it? Well, you probably get the idea by now. So, there you have it: time to save BIG on the best games in history, available DRM-free for Windows and Mac.

This holiday season, your GOG.com Winter Sale experience include the company of Jesse Cox, Force Strategy Gaming, Dodger from Press Heart to Continue, and the YogsCast team. Each day we mash-up a classic game (or games) with it's modern successors and offer them with high discounts, while our tube-casting friends explain why they consider such a blend interesting and worth playing.

2013 DRM-Free Winter Sale Video Recommendations playlist

Section updated: Don't forget about your gamer friends that may not know GOG.com yet! Sadly, for the sake of unburdening what servers we have, we had to turn off the option for gifting free games. But you can always just let them know they can sign up with GOG.com and claim a free gift of Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics. On top of that, when they register to our service, they'll receive all the 12 free games we add to all the newly-created accounts. That way your friends will start their adventure with GOG.com with a collection of 15 great games total already on their virtual shelves! Be kind, share the good news! :-)

We'd also like to remind you, that all purchases on GOG.com are now covered with our new 30-day Worldwide Money Back Guarantee, so your holiday gaming shopping spree is safer than it ever was before.

Our 2013 DRM-Free Winter Sale will last until Sunday, December 29, at 1:59PM GMT. Happy holidays from GOG.com team, everyone! And again, sorry for the server issues in the initial hours of our sale.

Ghorpm: ...different "special editions" of Might and Magic games were significantly different for US and Europe even though they did share the same name...
An addendum to my previous post:

This is also correct. I don't have nearly as much knowledge about non-US editions, but it's entirely possible that some of those editions came with the cluebooks for 1-5. What I do know is that the cluebooks were being sold as a pack at that time for $10 on a CD from the 3DO website, so it would have cost them practically nothing to include them anywhere they wanted. And as an example of the differences from one country to the next, the UK version of the Limited Edition had completely different packaging and came with a figurine - though I'm not sure what it excluded, if anything, from the US version.

Is a new Insomnia sale coming in 30min??? Stay tuned...

Only seven minutes to go. Here's hoping people can grab whatever they're looking for most, and if that doesn't happen, that we all can get 1-20 suitable substitutes. ;)

Back to the status quo, with bundles from yesterday.

On the upside, I got to cast the very first vote for tomorrow's bundle. :)

Nothing of interest today. Got all the games i wanted. Next community vote...i think they should have put two different bundles than two which are kinda similar.....

Hey GOG, I think you forgot to turn the boxes back on.

No I did :P I wonder how many people got first vote according to their browser?

Anyways, nothing new to see today as you said. Voting for the space shooters, always wanted to play Descent, and I have fond memories of Terminal Velocity. It was possibly the first PC game I ever played. If not, it was very close to it.

I understand why they do this (get in before the Steam sale...) but it still makes the sale significantly less interesting...

I got to re-roll my games, but only once. The second deal also contains three games I already own but I cannot re-roll anymore...

Wondering if the new bundles that were shown yesterday are all going to be spooled through by the end of the event. Trying to hang onto some money in case there's a surprise at the end like one or more of the losing side community options becoming available but don't want to miss things now either.

I think its more the case of been a long time member, got most of the games you want... there is less interest in a given sale.... at least im starting to get there myself...

On the plus side, the "clear your session" trick still works. I was able to open GOG in three different browsers (Firefox, IE, Chrome) and got different deals in each, provide I wasn't logged into GOG in at least two of them. Then by flushing my IE session and cache completely, I could go again to get more different ones. Did it until I finally got one I wanted (Sacrifice).

No idea if this trick can be used to get yet another deal within the same day, let's see.

They could really put the settlers pack today which lost voting two days ago instead of this 4x deal. It's the third day they are offering the same deal. Settlers also got thousands of votes.
Posted December 19, 2013
Repeats today, so we can only hope for some interesting new bundles for the next few days.
