Worth noting the Bullfrog Bundle is back up, and it's an immense 85% off.

I like when I see a good Steam deal pop up and click on it...only to find out that I apparently already own it.  And there was another deal today where I had to go and check to confirm that I already had the games on GOG.  Yup.

I was just coming to say that. :)

Torchlight is a game they had up free once before, and I missed it. That has now been remedied. It's highly rated by the critics, so I'll be interested to give it a try sometime.

I apparently have an extra copy of Torchlight, an extra copy of Magrunner, and two extra copies of The Witcher if anybody wants them.

i might have taken you up on the witcher, but i just bought it (for $2) from steam. :)  that's really great that GOG does that with the giftable copies.  i just bought skyrim legendary edition on steam because it was cheaper than the DLCs individually, but can't give anyone my extra copy of the base game.  it's just gone.

Hmm, I don't think I've got The Witcher on either GoG or Steam, so if you still have an extra copy, I'm interested :).

I still have one copy; PM me your email address and it's yours.

So far I've bought Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion and both seasons of The Walking Dead off Steam. The Walking Dead, like The Wolf Among Us are brilliant games. Haven't bought anything from GOG, I despise their version of flash sales that come and go every two hours. Steam at least has the decency of keeping them going for 8 hours. Not that it really matters though, there's not a single title on GOG I would like to buy that I don't already have.

I swear at Christmas Dishonored went on flash sale three times, and full sale twice.  It's been a steady 50% off this time all week.  WTF?

I played a bunch of Torchlight ages ago, but I found all the sidemission difficulty scaled quite steeply once you got a ways in, but the campaign itself was overly easy.  I dropped it pretty quickly.

They tend to repeat those same flash sales over the course of the sale though. So in the end it's actually fairer to my mind. It's pretty easy to miss an 8 hour sale if it only happens once.

You're in luck, MP! The GOTY edition is definitely worth the extra five bucks, the Knife of Dunwall and Brigmore Witches are pretty fantastic DLC.

If I were a steam employee or knew anyone who worked there the FS2 release wouldn't have been borked, try again
