Brace yourself, Ned. The 2012 DRM-Free Holiday Sale is coming!

No, there's no release today. But there's a good reason: starting tomorrow, we'll be starting our winter season / festivus / celebration of your choice sale, and we know that you'll be thrilled about it.

What's the sale going to be? Well, we would hate to spoil the surprise early. But we'll be offering your favorite games for sale at prices that should warm even the grinchiest of hearts. While you're waiting, though, we've started some holiday celebrations--you know how we love to give you guys gifts--and you can enter into our week-long holiday-themed caption contests right here, if you're so inclined, or stay tuned for more holiday silliness in our forums as well as on [url=https://www.facebook.com/gogcom]Facebook, and Google+.

Tell your friends, hide your ducks, load the caravans, and get ready, because we're starting the gifting season early with a huge game giveaway tomorrow along with our sale, so you know you don't want to miss out. In the meantime, snuggle up in something warm, drink some eggnog, and we'll see you all tomorrow.

Roman5: Saved up for this, refrained from buying many games these past couple of months so I'm ready

Also, can a staff member confirm, will there be any new releases these upcoming weeks during sales? If not, when can we expect new releases in that case?
We do actually have a few brand-new releases still coming, but just like usual, we won't be releasing any more classic games until January.

GameRager: I take it the same games that weren't on sale last year won't be on sale this year either? (Just checking)
I honestly don't recall.

The business development team tells me I am a base liar, and we are releasing one *new* game and one *new-ish* game before the end of the year.

And possibly DRM-free pizza. But the last is unconfirmed.* ;)


*no, there's no DRM-free pizza.

aoetje: Hmm, why is it that you won't release new games in December?
The server gnome union has negotiated very good vacation days during December.

Cronjob: The big question of the day, however, is: Will the sale be able to impress those of us who have already bought about 400 of the 493 games in your catalog from you?
Yes. ;)

adambiser: Just a quick, completely unrelated note/question for you.

Was the site updated recently / today? The site no longer marks "GAME OWNED" in the catalog or in the game search dropdown. They are, however, still marked on the game page itself. Or at least it isn't for me... Win 7x64, Firefox 17.0.1 (also in IE 9).

Looking forward to seeing what's in store for everyone tomorrow!
In anticipation for the huge spike in traffic tomorrow, we've taken offline some features that add a lot to the server load. This will be turned back on Friday or Saturday. :)

kalirion: So for the next couple days I should be careful to avoid buying any games I already own? Noted.
Games which you already own will remain highlighted as such on both product pages as well as in the checkout, so there is no risk of accidentally buying something that you already own :)

fortune_p_dawg: I wonder if there's a giant red button they push or something to make the sale go live....
More or less. ;)
