Deadlight free on GOG for the next 2 days

<< < (2/2)

Shades:
In Dutch movie theaters you used to have a somewhat similar offer as the pinata on GOG. Every week on Wednesday after 22:00 there was a movie showing.That movie was not officially out yet. You paid half price for admittance, but they wouldn't tell you anything about the movie you were about to see.

That showing time was also not randomly chosen. Wednesday evenings are usually occupied by (international) soccer matches, so "soccer widows" and people without any interest for soccer would go. Usually that is middle class people. Loved the concept, enjoyed many movies that way. In all those years, I only walked out of one movie before it finished. If you must know: SpoilerThe Talented Mr. Ripley
.

If I had a credit card, I would not mind playing the pinata at GOG. 3 USD for a bit of 'prentertainment' shouldn't be breaking the bank. And if you don't like it, there is always the option to gift it to friends/family (who would be entertained by these). Heck, you might even be pleasantly surprised with what you get.

Fully realizing that games are not like movies (in how you "consume" them), I think that the concept behind the pinata concept works for both forms of entertainment. Still, I might be weird that way.

The Pinata FAQ says that the pinatas unlock directly to your account. So no gifting if you don't like it. :(

The only exception is that if you already own all the games that can be found inside a pinata, then you will receive a giftable pinata.

Shades:
Ah, ok...my bad, didn't went to GOG to read anything about the pinata. Just remembered the positive feelings I got from a somewhat similar concept in the Netherlands, that's all.

Deozaan:
I think that's part of the dismay this time around. GOG have done the pinata thing before and people are saying that last time you could gift them if you wanted to.
