Ever notice that both GOG and Steam use these sales to flog every game in their backlog that does not actually work in Win10?
I was going through both sales and checking the reviews for the games over a few years old and was truly dismayed at the how many were filled with reviews that the game simply does not work in Win10, the store knows it, you don't return it within the short returns window, too bad for you.

Control is $20, and well worth that price. It’s as if Warehouse 13 was taken as seriously as the X-files or Fringe. One of the best story-based games I’ve played in years, even if the ending is a bit too much.
The first expansion is a bit of a bore, and I haven’t played the second one as my machine struggles to run the game currently. Shelved until I can land a 3080. Currently on a 1080, but I have a 1440p Ultrawide monitor and Control is just too demanding. The main game’s story was so good I played at 40-45fps, not smoothly, anyway.

Steam does not care when it was due to a recent sale.jdreyer wrote on Dec 16, 2020, 14:55:aka_STEVE wrote on Dec 16, 2020, 13:15:
I kid you not , I just spent $ 110 on GOG , the day before the sale.

So are you going to return and re-purchase? GoG has a 30 day return window. Not sure if you'll get dinged for returning too much or not, IIRC Steam gets mad if you do it too much, although I'm not sure what the limit is.
I bought a game right before it went on sale. Can I get a refund and repurchase it at the sale price?
Yes.
If you have not already requested a refund, make sure the purchase is eligible and submit a request here.
Please note that approved refunds may take up to 7 days to process.

Really solid freebee.
I'd much rather have full 3D gulag simulator.

I just checked and only one of the games went on sale , for a $10 difference. So I sent off an email, just to see if they'd credit me the difference.

Speaking of Prison Architect, what possesses someone to want to simulate a prison?
You've never dreamt of sending some lowlife scum to the electric chair?

For some reason I still haven't grabbed Diablo 1 and Hellfire. Looks like now's the time. I have the discs for both, but this is so much easier.
Bought them earlier this year and put a few hours in. Fun nostalgia trip!

Prison architect is one of those 'juat one more turn' games. Its pretty good and sucks your free time away.
Its not the cough that carries you off but the coffin they carry you off in.

I love GOG, the ability to simply download a classic game and immediately start playing without fiddling around in the MSDOS configuration for 2 hours was a breathe of fresh air, have been buying games there ever since.

I've essentially stopped buying games when they're not on sale, too easy to get burned that way.
