Ok, I got Sword of Stars: The Pit when it went on promo some time ago.

Then, I wanted to play it, but found out there was a DLC I didn't have so I decided to wait until it got on promo before I play the game. Then, the Gold DLC and Gold Edition came out (so confusing that they are named the same).

Then, during this sale, Sword of Stars Gold Edition goes on a daily deal so I get it. The promo just charges me for both DLCs separately (since I know Gold is essentially the main game + 2 DLCs, I figure is GOG's smart way of breaking down the product so that I don't double pay for the main game).

So far, so good.

Then, I go to the "Gold Edition" page (the game + both DLCs, not the Gold DLC) and see that I can still purchase it, despite having the main game + both DLCs.

So, is there something in the "Gold Edition" besides the main game and both DLCs that I am still missing? This is getting ridiculously confusing.

No. You get the same stuff regardless of how you bought them. GOG should fix the pack at some point though.
No, you have everything. Gog offers 4 'products' for The Pit:

1) The original game.
2) Mindgames DLC.
3) Gold Edition upgrade DLC.
4) Gold Edition

The fourth product is not actually a real product, it is a discounted bundle of 1-3 which is intended only for people who don't have any of the parts 1-3 yet and want to get all of them together.
I mentioned this issue in this thread:

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/roguelikelike_bundlelike_going_to_be_broken

and others have mentioned it elsewhere. Good that you bring it up again tho; more community attention on the matter might prompt GOG to address it.

I support DLC being on GOG, but these pseudo-bundles aren't the way to do it.

Thanks for the clarification guys. Much appreciated.

Again, shame I can only give the solution to one person.

GOG really should make it a higher priority as this can cause some people to mistakenly pay for the same product twice and result in some justified customer dissatisfaction. No company wants to be perceived as cheating it's customer base, even if it's by mistake.

Wow, it's Geralt of Rivia! Hi. Shouldn't you be out hunting some monsters or "saving damsels in distress"? And I wasn't aware witchers are using the internet now.
Talking about the confusion that SotS: The Pit caused:
All three products (base game and two DLCs) are download to three separate folders:
sword_of_the_stars_the_pit
sword_of_the_stars_the_pit_gold_edition_upgrade
the_pit_mindgames_dlc

The last one is not even next to two others! I moved installers manually but it's a shame it's such a messy situation ;)

Until I make my third round on PCs all the monsters have been officially killed already. And even us Witchers have to go with the times. ;-)

Well, it's good you're having an eye on this place. You know, just in case some nasty troll or similar creature shows up. :P
