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.

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.

Nirth: I managed to purchase a game! I had no idea I had managed to log in to begin with as the site kept asking about it previously.
I was able to check out at last too, after a couple hours of attempts to load the cart with games and then ring it up. Was a little worried that the system outages would result in a problem, but the purchase eventually went through.

I think I noticed a price glitch as well, as some folks have been reporting. I would swear that when I first checked my Wishlist this morning that Long Live the Queen was 4.99, but now it shows as 6.99. Probably they are still jiggering up the various daily bundles and the prices are being tweaked for regular sale vs bundle pricing.

Between my community vote not counting (or being able to vote as many times as I want), getting randomly logged out, and not being able to pick the special offer, it'll be a miracle if this post gets through.

Cool, the sales are open.
Yeah, Fallout for free (oopps, i own them)
Juchuuh, they still have not learned from the last time that maybe the info about owning a game could be nice (hey, i have 50% of the games here and can't remember every one of them)
Funny the choice of 3 special offers (if it offers you a game you own).
mmmh, guess i will check the site in a few hours again.
now lets see if this post comes through

Bleh. Opened one of the "daily random box deals" to see how it worked, changed the page while I thought about it, came back to grab the game and now the deal is gone, going to the game's page doesn't show that deal, and clicking on the box again asks me to sign into a new account.

I'd assumed since it said "21 hours left" or something that I'd at least be able to go back to the deal until the next day started.

Oh well. Hopefully that'll change.

So my Fallout series gift certificate consist of one Fallout, two Fallouts 2 and two Fallouts Tactics. Aha. And even though I somehow managed to get it, I still didn't manage to get one of those present things not to mention I can't logout of my account...

Got an endlessly whirling cursor as my gift, because GOG's servers are totally inadequate for this load.
Posted December 12, 2013
It's been 3 hours and I still can't buy anything.
Come on, guys.

GOG team thank you for making us gamers happy! <3
Posted December 12, 2013
Yes, the gifts are not working for me, too.
First I'm asked to login (even I am logged in) and then I am redirected to a 404 page.

Well, I'll be back later... :)

I'll be happy once I manage to successfully buy something!

The service should scale better by now ><.

Hmm, on the mainpage Shadow Warrior (2013) is offered for $26.66 but on the gamepage it is offered for $9.99. So what is right?
Posted December 12, 2013
Good start. Half of the site don't work and can't buy anything! :-( Everyone must be trying to get million gift copies of free fallout trilogy to give away before they're pulled. ;-p

Not sure about the 'business sense' of a company giving away free stuff and, insodoing, preventing hundreds (if not more) of customers from actually paying for things they are trying to buy.

I'm sure all of the slacker newbie gamers who didn't already own the Fallout series appreciate the free copies of games they will likely never play, but it sucks that the strain they are placing on the servers is keeping me from being a paying customer.

Somewhere along the line someone here failed at forethought.

Domo Arigatou for the free Fallout games GOG! What an awesome gift! :)
Posted December 12, 2013
Yeah, the website is pretty much useless to me right now. I'm surprised I could even post this. Would you kindly rent a few servers so I can finally manage to give you my money, GOG?

Anyway, thank you for giving away the Fallout games. That's quite awesome.
