If I would spend my money in gamble, I played hold'em poker...
Comment has been collapsed.
lmao but yeah I agree -- I'd not touch this kind of gambling without any substantial possible advantage.

I assume it's like last time with the Piñatas, where you can only get games you don't own (up until the point of owning them all), but I don't see any details to that effect, though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Since I already have all of them by now (bought them piece by piece) I can assure you as soon as you have all the games available in the pool of stars the "buy a star" is getting greyed out and becomes "gift a star" with a tooltip telling you you already own every game and will get a double (that you can gift) if you buy another.
Tl'dr: you will not get any game you already own on gog via the winter stars

This is actually a great feature but I wish they implemented it for games already owned on Steam as well
Comment has been collapsed.
But you don't own the games on Steam; so you're actually buying a totally separate product: a DRM-free version of the game.
And while I get that you're annoyed at having the same game in two places, this problem isn't on GOG's end: it's all of the publishers and devs that haven't signed up for GOG Connect.
Comment has been collapsed.
However it is regarding the ownership issue I don't feel the need to have access to some games from multiple storefronts. I reserve these kinds of eccentric behaviours for games I consider really good :P
I'm not annoyed about having the games in two places but rather slightly annoyed about paying money for things I already have access to. I would greatly prefer if they checked for game ownership at Steam before they assign the star games since they have access to this data in my case, that's all.
Also, it's not always on the publisher's fault if a game are not at sale at GOG as I understand it. I've seen quite a few reports where they wont put games up for sales for one reason or another. Most recent case is Opus Magnum

Presumably, but it doesn't see your Steam library, so...

Due to regional prices, stars in my country (Chile) are $1.57, not bad! I might try this one later

UFO Aftermath and King's Bounty: Warriors of the North. Not so lucky this time.

I like GOG, but there are very few classics I'm willing to pay for so even if the mystery game is worth more than the lottery ticket it's too much of a risk.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wait! Does GOG connect work the other way around, meaning if you buy on GOG, you get it on Steam if it's part of GOG Connect? Or does it just work from Steam to GOG?
Comment has been collapsed.
No. Steam has no real incentive to do it the other way.

This is basically a scam wrapped up to look like not a scam.
Comment has been collapsed.
Except that they tell you the type of contents and are more transparent about how it goes down (including when restocks happen I believe). Comparing these random boxes to those of less reputable sites that actively try to pretend they're not just giving away games in bulk that were available for free at some point? That's a really stank comparison.
There is plenty of criticism to be directed at random game purchase things, but these ones are least aren't a scam. If you feel they are, perhaps you should elaborate on where you think the misdirection and dishonesty is.

Except that HRK always spins it to look like a good deal yet heavily pad it with the probability of keys for games that were free at one point. GoG at least offer you a glimpse into how it pans out, and have local discussions to track the content of the random draws (including when they restock their lists). It's a bad comparison.

Wasted the money...
And the result was:
King's Bounty: Warriors of the North
Which I already own on steam... For 4 years...
Comment has been collapsed.
I got
- King's Bounty: Dark Side - Already owned on Steam
- The Sexy Brutale - Already owned on Steam
- STASIS - Already owned on Steam
- BIT.TRIP FATE - Already owned on Steam
- Bad Mojo Redux - Already owned on Steam
Also Hard West as a freebie so not too bad all in all but certainly worse than bundle price :P
Edit: Well, seems I can't keep track of my owned games since I just noticed I already own KB: Dark Side on Steam as well...
Comment has been collapsed.
I always purchase one, and only one of those surprise things and I got DF Extreme already have it on Steam maybe it's a sign to finally play it ...
Comment has been collapsed.
Got Sacred Gold. Could have been better, could have been worse... I don't have the game on Steam and wanted to get it eventually, so I'm fine with this :)
Comment has been collapsed.
its not that bad if you dont already have on steam
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't buy mystery games or mistery bundles since I do not endorse gambling. I don't even buy the Humble Monthly because of that (except when XCOM2 was the early reveal).
Comment has been collapsed.
Chances are i get something i own on steam so skip
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, this is a bit of problem for me. I don't mind so much getting something I didn't expect but paying for something I already own doesn't sit right with me. I wish they would, optionally, exclude already owned games on Steam as well since they have this data through GOG connect

Buy it only for supporting the site. Aaaand I got
Space Empires IV Deluxe
:/

Already have Bad Mojo. But I bought that one for nostalgia's sake :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I was really just trying to imply that I got something worse but it seems like a misguided attempt from your reply. I'd still rather have your game than Bad Mojo though :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Give it a try. It's not a horrible game.
We had pretty bad luck, thou, but that's another thing.

I'll be kind today and say that such a comment, suggesting a leftover trade, got me suspended a few months ago.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, it's not a suggestion and if it's not obvious on it's on it should be because it's not possible to trade the star games. I was merely stating that I'd rather want Space Empires than Bad Mojo in one of the stars in an attempt to cheer him up but from the reply I take it it was a rather misguided attempt :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Well mods don't always "get a joke" but fair enough, didn't know they weren't tradeable.
Also lot cheaper to wait and get them on gog connect. :p https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/8EDwJk3

I'll take my chances, it's not like I enter many giveaways these days anyway and I can still read the forum while banned I presume :P

No you can't read the forum when suspended, it will just throw the suspension in your face every time. :(
