high rated
As this was the first "large" sale since the redesign, I'd just like to reiterate something I already voiced shortly after the redesign went live: I now have zero interest in browsing the store pages.

I used to make it a habit during big sales to look through the entire discounted catalog, just to see if anything interesting happened to hide in there that wasn't on my wishlist, and I would normally find at least a game or two that were cheap enough and intriguing enough to warrant an impulse buy. No more of that, thanks to the idiotic decision to hide the games' actual titles in a mouseover popup, making quick at-a-glance identification difficult to outright impossible, and the even more idiotic decision to infest said popups with autoplaying videos.

But hey, if you're okay with not getting my money, I'm okay with not spending it.

MithrilFlame: Thanks for the reply @Pheace . I do buy the stuff with different regional pricing (infact I just did today), however when it sells for $20 on steam, and $36 on GoG... almost double the price, when its "On Sale" in GoG?
And speaking of it again, it's on sale on Steam again for $20. I'm sorely templed... if GoG could just match it (even a little higher, for the regional pricing tax)

gamesfreak64: Maybe its because GOG games are 100% DRM free ?, Steam has a number of games that run without the client to be running, once installed with the steam client , but it needs a client to download and install , has updates enabled by defaulk, (i disabled that for every game, cause i like to update manually)

Anyway, Steam is huge .... enormous.... extra superdeluxe large has 'gazillions' of members and $, they can easily afford to sell 20$ games at 1 dollar at a large sale, BigFishGames(DRM) , same story .... part of a very large business .
Yepo, understand Steam is a behemoth :) Just thinking Witcher particularly should be able to beat Steam's sale price, as it is made my same company as GoG... it's their own game.

Right, they could...but Witcher 3 and its DLCs are some of the most highly rated games of all time, so basically they don't have to discount them much or often or perhaps even at all, now.

I find that mildly annoying, but it does make financial sense. (I already own them on steam but I just irrationally wanted duplicates on gog.)

Someone told me that Gog is a public company. If that's true, it's even likely that they have less freedom to do things that might look financially irresponsible to stockholders, whereas Steam as a private company can freely do whatever they want. (Yes, yes, they're making money hand over fist; I'm talking about whether nitpicking appearances of actions matters.)

Not to beat a dead horse, but I find the botched trick or treat sale interface far more annoying. I was just experimenting with it again just now, and it really really discourages shopping in multiple ways.
