No one "outside" knows what GOG's cut is exactly, and they may have different cuts for different games. For old games, they may have been in a good position to get a better cut than usual for a distributor, since they were monetizing the publishers' dead back catalog, put a lot of effort into fixing and presenting the games, and the publishers didn't really believe that anyone wanted to buy these old games anyway. Still, 70% for a distributor sounds excessive. For new games, if they asked for 70%, they simply wouldn't get any games to sell.

Does anyone have a photo of the parking lot outside the GOG office? If we knew what kinda cars they drive, we could reverse engineer how much of a cut GOG takes :)

Hey, I never noticed that. Thanks for the info, that's good to know for times when that old "GOG wants more than the industry standard cut" get resurrected again.

TET has mentioned in another thread that CC costs per transaction are about a buck to buck-fifty, so the very cheap games may very well end up costing them money. That means Shelter, Pid and Gateways, and possibly a few more. No idea about PayPal or Paysafe fees, and there has been a rumour that GOG is doing a single charge instead of multiple ones in some cases, but no idea if true or not.

Thanks for the link Judas, but we still need a photo of GOG's parking lot!
If it's a bunch of used Lada's, people will buy more games so you can buy even better cars.

You mean most of you go to work in a chauffered $30000+ vehicle?

I love the summer sales a lot! It's where I budget to buy games on that schedule. While the Christmas sales have a more holiday goodness all round, I prefer using it to spend on other stuff, like at my favorite book stores, which only predictably hold year end sales for the holidays.

This insomnia sale was heaps of fun though! And it helps that I managed to snag stuff that I wanted. Are you guys excited for the summer sales? If it's held at the same date last year, that will be next month.

XD, nicely done! ;-)


We're always excited about a GOG Sale around here! ;-)

it's an awful idea for a sale and if a few kind gog users hadn't given me the link to the games in rotation I'd have kept wasting my time checking the site every hour or so

Oops. Yeah, I reversed the figures. D'oh!
Why waste your time? If you don't like the sale format, don't bother with it. That's what I do when GOG does sale formats that I don't particularly care for.

hes means most of them hoist TET on their shoulders in a vintage sedan
