Topic subject kind of sums it up, but if they had a "BUY IT ALL, MONEYS NO OBJECT" bundle that had every game available in it. What do you think it would be worth? Would you buy it?

A poster below averaged that it would cost around $60,000 USD to buy all the games. So I'll just stick to that figure for this "bundle".

It would be a one-off thing, so if you bought them all it would only give you the games that are actually available and not in development etc.

Obviously it's ridiculous to even consider, but ... there are some people who would do it. A friend of mine was interested in this at some point so i figured i'd ask what others thought.

Anyways we both had a discussion about this "GOG Library" gaming system that would have all of the games on it as a sort of historic archive for friends and family who came over.

That friend figured if a bundle like this existed they would probably buy it for that particular project.

Anyways I understand that there are a LOT Of objectively bad games in the library. However that's kind of the point to archive it all. Then when someone wants to check out a game from a particular time period they could just jump on the GOG computer and check it out.

EDIT: Realized i messed up my topic subject. It should say "If GOG had an all games bundle, what would it be worth and would you buy it?" I would fix this, but I'm not sure how to do that.

10 thousand US dollars.
Never!

No, I wouldn't buy it, because to do that would be supporting terrorism via giving money to the devs of "Tonight We Riot," which is a propaganda game designed to indoctrinate people into becoming Antifa-style terrorists in real-life.

In addition to that, it would also clutter up my library with tons of shovelware that I'd never ever play.

I wouldn't take such a bundle even if GOG paid me to take it. So it would be worth less 0 dollars, Maybe it would be worth negative 100 billion dollars, or something like that.

with all the dlc-s?

Last time I checked, there were ~3500 games (includes duplicates of different editions) you can buy. My back of the envelope math below estimates $59,040 USD total with a weighted average price of $16.87 USD for each game.

I personally wouldn't because there are plenty of other productive things you can do with that money instead.


---

3 pages of free games
3 pages under $5 USD
27 pages between $5-10 USD
11 pages between $10-15 USD
17 pages between $15-20 USD
13 pages $25+ USD
Total # pages: 74 pages
Each page: 48 games/page

Assuming average price for $25+ USD bracket is $45 and are the medians of each range and the games are at original price.

Weighted average total: [(3*0) + (3*2.5) + (27*7.5) + (11*12.5) + (17*17.5) + (13*45)] * 48 = $59,040 USD
Weighted average price: $16.87 USD

I wouldn't buy it (unless it was dirt cheap maybe), for these reasons:

1. I already have 2103 GOG games in my library, so "having them all!" doesn't sound quite as exciting to me as it could to someone who has, say, 10 or 15 games on GOG.com.

EDIT: Well, yeah, I see e.g. you have 140 games in your account, even though you have been longer in GOG.com than me. I have no idea if that is due to lack of money, or you just haven't found other games interesting enough to buy on GOG.com, than what you already have. Do you have more games in Steam? I rarely, if ever, buy games outside of GOG.com at this point; I used to buy quite many cheap Steam-bundles in Humble Bundles in the past, though, but usually they included also DRM-free versions of the games.

2. I am not really interested at all to many of the remaining GOG games that I don't already have (unless they were offered for free I guess). And I guess having such a big library also makes me now somewhat pickier (but then if something is offered very cheaply...). E.g. there are increasingly indie pixel-art platformers or "roguelikes" that just don't interest me as much as buying e.g. some famous 5-10 years old AAA game, or a true classic I never had but wished I had.

3. The GOG library is still growing, so "buying them all" now means that in a week or so there might be more games I wanted to have, or maybe some extra DLC or expansion packs were added to some of the games afterwards.

Or was your idea that the "have them all" deal would include also all future GOG games?!?

it clearly doesn't worth that much
imho better to get fe 100 games you want to play or use wishlist and add those together and just forget the rest
then it should have at least 70% discount so i think 500-1000 euro max price for this is realistic

MaGoG's database, which ignored everything released in the year before its disappearance gives a total of $45,604

I'm not going to argue that my number is any more accurate, but both come with the problem of double counting games when you combine different combinations of base game and DLC.

For a few examples:
Pillars of Eternity accounts for $124.95 when you can get everything for $39.99
Torment: Tides of Numeria accounts for $276.94 when the complete version is $89.99
Mutant Year Zero $169.96 vs $54.99

In any event such a bundle is going to be expensive.
If I don't have many games, why would I fork out so much money for a habit I may not even like.
If I have a demonstrated liking of games, I already have a collection of them. Why purchase them again?

Maybe someday. A man can dream, can't he? Thank you for bringing this up. Yes, the most accurate way would be to manually sort through each title to ensure only the standard editions' prices are only accounted for in the price if it isn't already capture in some third-party database. However, given the sample size, I am confident both of our numbers are enough to be considered roughly accurate.

No, i would not, as i am just partially a game collector / digital horder. I am really trying to buy only games that i want to (re-) play...which is difficult enough to choose from the amount of games is offered nowadays

As i am sick & tired of my loud neighbors, i would invest the money (if i had it.../ that some of you did mention above) in a house in the country side - & play my games that i already have, in peaceful silence. Or i would invest the money in more lifetime - which I could really use when I look at my backlog. ;-)

I was always curious how much money i spent on games on gog - but i am too lazy to figure it out.
Would be a nice account extension if you could show the game values, like current daily value, lowest / highest price and what you actually paid etc.

Nice idea for a thead btw.. :-)

There is fun in promotions and buying one or a few at once.
3339 individual games without extras.

I will price it at an average of 3 quid a game on promo (experience).
3339 x ~3 GBP promo rate = ~10 000 GBP or = 1000 x
14.99$ = 12.59 EUR = 10.79 GBP = 19.29 AUD = 1099 RUB = 57.39 PLN = 127.00 SEK = 126.20 NOK = 93.2 DKK = 13.99 CHF = 18.69 CAD = 83.19 BRL = 98.00 CNY

without a promo is ~2.5 times more = ~ 25 000 GBP. Wild guess, long shot.

What would I do with 3000+ titles at once remains a mystery for me : )

It would most probably cost more than it would be worth to me. There aren't that many games on GOG I'm still interested in, and I don't like spending big sums on games anyway (easier to spend lots of little sums frequently, heh).

The major issue with such a bundle would be the inclusion of cyberpunk. If that is included then it doesn’t matter how much GoG would pay me, I wouldn’t want it.

Absolutely not
Absolut nicht
Absolument pas
Absolutamente no
Σίγουρα όχι
絶対違う



I hope I made myself internationally clear.

I'll leave the price guess to others. Such a bundle would never have a reasonable price.

As for would I buy it if it were a think, should it even be free: no. GOG has a weird curation process that is very, very pro-corporation. This means trash mobile ports (seems to be the lowest hanging fruit), political pandering (Tonight We Riot), non-political event opportunism (COVID-19 simluator or whatever it was), and a number of other issues. I mostly came here because a script i had on Linux helped pre-configure wine for each game based on GOG versions, and I really wanted to play afew games like Deus Ex. Then I found out GOG was DRM-free. I'm just here for the old classics and maybe some indies that have no connection to the corporate BS of today.
