Not that the GOG downloader is invasive or bloated at all, but you seem to loathe buying stuff from Steam as well.

The gog downloader is not required, not at all.

I'm not sure I do. When I download a game, it really is not avoidable that my computer communicates with the DL platform's server. I have full choice over the method, browser or plugin with gog. I'm not opposed to the concept of the plugin, and I gladly would have continued to use it if it had worked at least 75% to my satisfaction (Like, "double the download speed, but first download defunct? Yeah, OK, I'll try that again").

I simply do not see a connection to invasive DRM, forced online activation, continuous online verification during play, continuous advertising forced on the consumer, non-consensual updates of the game, non-consensual gathering of single player game statistics and of course the collection of, marketing and trade with the customer's personal data.

It's the end of the world as we know it, and we've got a ton to play. Over 125 games up to 75% off, including all past daily deals. There are too many to list, so I just linked the main page so you can all go nuts. Also, we've got two new SURPRISE releases. A New Beginning comes to us courtesy of Daedalic Entertainment (the Deponia guys), and Capsized from Alientrap Games, both for the launch price of $4.99. However, both are part of today's massive sale, so each one comes in a different bundle for $2.79 a pop, though only if you buy the whole bundle. Be quick though, you may not have time to play these games after Friday.

Edit: Well now, don't I feel silly for getting wrapped up in the forum's endless database errors.

Apparently, it's been confirmed that this is it. Each bundle on sale today is a planned bundle during the sale, except for one that hasn't been announced or shown yet.

You know what, we've got all of the daily deals posted in this thread already. Unless something big happens, I'm taking the rest of the sale off.

Guess this qualifies as big enough to talk about. GOG has another gift for you in this season of giving. EA has given GOG the go-ahead to add the long requested expansion packs for Alpha Centauri, Wing Commander 1+2 and Wing Commander Privateer.

Well, the End of the World sale part of the sale is over, so let's see what we've got to replace it...

...and it's just the Daedalic Adventure bundle again. Huh.

Well, that's what the offers were before yesterday, so that's not so much of a letdown.

Hmm that Daedalic bundle is priced just outside of impulse buy range, and doesn't include the new Deponia... both understandable but it's put me on the fence

Not giving everything away for free? It's like GOG isn't convinced the world is ending, or something.
