Fall sale on GOG. Oddly enough they're doing sales in limited quantities...not sure how to feel about that. For example the game that's on sale now only has 34 copies left at the sale price at the time of this writing. |

I think that's a pretty stupid idea for a digital sale. I can kind of see what they're going for with it, but still think its pretty silly. EDIT: At least their press release is having fun with it:
I'm sure that quote has more to do with the fact of staying up all day and night for video games rather than the sale itself, I still find it fitting :P. Edited by Hyper Metal Sonic, Nov 13 2013, 11:59 AM.

It is interesting seeing real-time sales of games at least. Actually I wish that was a regular thing for Steam and GOG. |

I really don't want this to become a thing at all. Convenience is one of the major reasons people turn to digital and when you've got almost limitless stock (I know some digital stores have "sold out" before because they ran out of allotted keys) there's no excuse to limit your userbase. They're only hurting themselves. Sure it creates urgency, but since there's limited stock they're still only going to sell 100 or so copies, when they could sell more if they just put up a time limit. And I can only imagine the nightmare this'd cause on Steam since its relatively unstable at times of sales. EDIT: I misunderstood your post, I didn't realize you meant you would like to see more live updates on how sales are. . .selling. I agree with that entirely! It makes it much more fun.

I'll give them credit for experimenting at least. And this would never work on Steam anyway, it ALWAYS goes down when a major sale starts, without fail. EDIT: It also isn't only 100 copies each time, Theme Hospital had 400. Edited by Brewmaster Dragon, Nov 13 2013, 12:31 PM.

Edited my post to reflect my misunderstanding of Dragon's post. And now that I sat down and actually watched it take place, honestly? It was. . .a blast. I had no interest in buying most of the games (and decided not to buy the ones I was interested in) but watching it go was actually fun xD. So while I'm not enthused by the practice itself, the experience is a fun one :P. I'd like to see them do it again. |

The sale's winding down so I figure I'll say now that I actually ended up really liking this sale. It was fun to watch and it's much better than GOG's usual "buy this many games to get the bigger discount" deals. |

Steam's Autmn sale is now live and will last until December 3rd. But if you use Steam, I'm sure you already know this. Anything of interest on sale for you guys? Most of my Wishlist is on sale, and I can tell which games will probably get a daily deal or flash deal based on their current discount :P. Right now the only game I think I might dip for is Duke Nukem Manhattan Project cause its less than $2. EDIT: Sonic Lost World 3DS and Wii U versions are available for $30 each on Groupon. Linkage (Whoops, it seems the Wii U version is $40, lame ;_;) Edited by Hyper Metal Sonic, Nov 27 2013, 03:11 PM.

Playstation Plus is only 29.99 for a year. You can buy a code on gamestop.com. I'm finally trying it, very excited. |
