Shelter is 1$ here. Comes with Steam key and drm free version.

And JudasIscariot maybe you should add some kind of confirmation to the free games purchase cause I got Tropico 3 without actually wanting it cause you have to slam the buy button before you even see what it is to be fast enough. :s

 

[Infinitron]

Fuck I wanted to buy Shelter, but I've only just learned about this bullshit sale

It might also come back later.

 

[kryminator]

How people are buying those games so fast? There were 20 Tropicos for free, but the change to Icewind Dale sale was almost immediate. I didn't even manage to finish considering trying to purchase it.


I bought Shelter for 4$ on this GOG promo, but I consider myself as someone who cannot be forced to buy games on Steam even if they were for free. The idea to start some third-party application to run a game is inadmissible for me. Steam is the only reason I can't play Football Manager.

 

[Infinitron]

Don't worry, when SteamOS takes over it won't be third party anymore.

 

[dunno lah]

Bah! Fucking free Shelter gone in a split second!

 

[Azalin]

Oh,FFS there were 15 copies of Shelter for free but they disappered in under 2 seconds,I didn't have the time to click the button

Oh and it seems my estimate for a new game every half an hour was very optimistic,hell they probably changed the games twice while I was writing this post

 

[Name]

It's now a new deal under every 5min.
Must be bots, they must be bots.

 

[Azalin]

200 copies of Thief Gold gone in about 2 minutes,oh and another free game gone in 2 seconds again,this is the first sale that you need better reflexes and better ping than you need for Quake 3 to get something for free

 

[Humppaleka]

This is slightly ridiculous but I love it. Although there is just 0 chance you'll ever catch those free games.

 

[Keshik]

Whoa TA:Kindgoms was gone in 30 seconds. Wait, no, refreshed and it appeared briefly before Cognition replaced it.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Hell yes, snatched Tex Murphy @_@

 

[Aeschylus]

Thief 2 now on sale at 80% off. Pretty good stuff.

 

[Azalin]

200 copies of Thief 2 will be gone in 5,4,3,2,1 .... and they are gone

 

[J_C]

LOL, 250 copies of Wing Commander 4 dissapeared in 30 seconds. :D
This is one of the funniest sale ever. One up this, Steam! :D

 

[Crooked Bee]

Just got Anvil of Dawn

 

[J_C]

Beyond Good and Evil was free, and the site crashed for me for a second. XD

 

[belated]

Only 8 free BG&Es, not much chance there

 

[Crooked Bee]

Just got Anvil of Dawn

anvil of dawn disappeared in like a minute, lucky

Lucky enough to have bought abandonware for two bucks, true

 

[Azalin]

LOL, 250 copies of Wing Commander 4 dissapeared in 30 seconds. :D

Huh,I was one of the fast ones and got one

This is one of the funniest sale ever. One up this, Steam! :D

I admit it's a bit lulzy to see how fast some games sell out,but if you are actually trying to get some specific games you are screwed under this model.
You have to be real lucky to have that game on sale while you are watching and then you need to be very fast to get one,not the best way to keep customers happy

 

[Aeschylus]

It's a funny gimmick, not really a great regular thing. Managed to get a copy of WC4 as well, so I'm happy.

 

[Cromwell]

This sale is killing me. Cant stop watching.

 

[Keshik]

SMAC for $1.50 wonder how long that'll last.

 

[Crooked Bee]

The Real Texas!

Grabbed a gift copy

 

[J_C]

300 Psychonauts in 30 sec. Nice.

 

[Pegultagol]

The combination of my internet being not fast enough or my arthritic fingers on mouse supple enough prevents me to get into one of the things. I have a sneaking suspicion that the sale counter is based on a time algorithm and not actual sales.

Holy moly I just got Alpha Centauri for 1.49 All praise be GOG.com!
