Thanks for the replies everyone, very interesting so far. I knows there's even a few people who have bought the entire GOG game library. I dread to think how much that would cost and wonder if buying the entire library was in a single purchase lol.
I think it was the "nasty giveaway" I did. That one cost me near $60 or $70 as I needed to get 8 games, I can't remember how many were $10 and how many were $6.

Thinking of doing another one some time, it was quite good fun.
$115.68 for 32 games during the 2011/12 sale (everything on promo I didn't have yet), and that's only because I broke up my ~$170 2010/11 shopping into two sequential purchases.

Most of the 32 games were meh - I instabought the good stuff as it was released in 2011 and picked earlier-released games I might actually play during the 10/11 sale. Which is why this year I decided to limit instabuying to new games only, to support the devs, and get old games on promo.
I got all the D&D games in one big purchase the first time they went on sale. I had waited because I owned the boxed versions, but for convenience sake I got them in the sale. I think it was like $40 when you bought them all?
The Witcher 2.
The Witcher 2, when it was on sale for $23.
WITCHER 2 PRE-ORDER, I LIVE IN EXCESS, FUCK YEAAAAAAH

THATS 49.99 FOR THOSE CLOWNS WHO DONT BUY SHIT NEW, YOU GUYS BUYING USED GOG GAMES ARE CHUMPS.
When I first came to GOG I think I tried to purchase over 30 or something games all in the cart, I remember it because it wouldn't let me buy that many in a single purchase, so I had to delete some and it in two go's. Not sure but I think that was over 200 dollars
I think last Christmas time I bought GOG games for maybe over $300, but probably in many parts over several days. I can't tell for sure which was the biggest single purchase then, I guess I have the confirmation mails in my inbox. Yeah, maybe I'll check it.
Ok I checked it. On 19th Dec 2011 when the Xmas sales were going, I apparently made two purchases during the same day (of lots of games in both):

$181.50 + $126.67 = $308.70

I don't recall why I bought them in two parts, either I was still contemplating over some games, or the system would accept only a certain number of games in one checkout? I think it was something related to the latter, maybe it already failed once when I kept adding more and more games to the buy list (IIRC). Also on the next day (20th Dec), I bought some more games for $24.93.

After that I apparently kept quite a long 4½ month GOG buying hiatus, not buying more games until 9th April 2012. During that time I added two freebies into my account, though.

I think I was financially quite hurt in Jan-Feb 2012, not only because of the GOG purchases but Xmas in general, and my gf had a birthday in early January too. At least I bought two Android phones (100€ + 130€ I think), and the ASUS Transformer tablet for my gf (around 500€). Oh yeah and many annual payments have to be paid in January too I think.

No wonder I didn't buy more GOG games for months, I probably couldn't have afforded anything even if I wanted to.

granny: The annoying thing is, I only got a PC capable of playing it two days ago. Totally worth the wait, though :-)
Same for me. I finally got a new rig about a month ago, and yeah, totally worth the wait :D

I knew I'd have to wait a year, but The Witcher 2 was the first AAA title (I knew of) that would be totally DRM free upon release. I had to show my support and pre-order; a way of voting with my $$$. As of yet I'm not sure my 'voting' was worthwhile. I can't think of any other AAA titles that have since been released DRM free.

Exactly so. After all my general bitching about DRM and so forth, it was the quintessential "put your money where your mouth is" moment :-)

Although I would say that I hadn't planned on waiting this long to build my new rig. Originally, it was going to be about this time last year. Stupid bills...
