what they should do instead is have it be like you can have one purchase, so, one game or one bundle pack, go into the the thingy to qualify for a mystery discount.

maybe you can do this a certain amount of times in a sale. three or four or more. and, if you do it enough, you can get a free game out of it.

something like that would make more sense than "here's a price take whatcha get". it makes less and less sense to do it this way because there's more than gog and it's increasingly likely that people are going to run into something they don't like or already have.

Making sure you dont get the wrong OS should be done, apart from that it is just blind luck and I dont mind that - in spite of the fact I just tried one again and it now leaves me with around 8 attempts across all the times they have done these sales and 0 games I want or would play!

But I knew what I was getting into.

*lol* I think I'll try this one day, just to see their dumbfounded faces!

+1 for the idea :D

Simple, yet briliiant... I am definitely going to do that next time I am pressured into playing monopoly! Thanks!

I love simple victim less underhanded tactics such as these. At my previous workplace there used to be cake days every friday at 10:00, in which a pair of employees (circulated of course) had to bring cake for everyone else. Most of the time there was enough cake to go around as long as everyone only took one slice from each cake, and usually there was enough so that a couple of people could have a second serving. Naturally this was frowned upon.
Also, we all had these little pigeon holes for mail items that was in a room separate from the staff room where the cake was served, and it was common practice for someone that was busy at 10:00 to ask a colleague to put some cake in his/her pigeon hole so that he/she could eat it later. So, the simple solution to getting lots of cake each friday was to always be 'busy' at 10:00 and to ask someone who I knew was going to busy at 10:30 (we had fixed schedules) to put some cake in my mail slot. Then I would simply go to the staff room at 10:35 and help myself to whatever cake remained, which was easier since most people would've left the staff room by that point. Then I would simply sneak my mail slot cake back to my office. Of course it didn't always work, because sometimes there would be someone else in the staff room that would inform me of my mail slot cake having seen my colleague taking out cake for me earlier.

Damn, and now I'm hungry for some cake :P

Just click to get a mystery game and you'll see him.

And then i'll get scammed with some grey squirrel. I like the red ones.

This actually happened once. It involved the Divinity series (this was before OS) and I don't remember the exact specifics, but it did happen.

I'd consider doing some if I could be guaranteed not to get a game I already have.
