Bought one to support them, since I mostly leeched off GOG Connect lately.
Got Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened - Remastered. I didn't own it before, like P&C and have a soft spot for Sherlock Holmes, and although the game doesn't look that good, you can't go wrong with Cthulhu. Could be worse, I guess. :D

Technically it might be possible to buy some and refund the ones you don't want and keep going until you got the ones you wanted as long as you never downloaded the games.
Of course it would be against the spirit of the thing.
Personally I don't participate in these things since the pool consists of 99% things I would never buy.

I don't think so.
They do mention a theoretical case in their FAQ for someone that pretends a bunch of their games don't work and isn't willing to work with their support team and still demands refunds.

Since I rarely buy from GOG but I still got several games there thanks to Connect, I decided it was time to support them for real for once, and got three stars. Result? Lego Batman is ok, but Enemy Engaged: Comanche VS Hokum is a title I'd have never voluntarily bought, and Warrior Kings is of little interest to me too. Lesson learned: this was the first time I've ever supported something like this, and I doubt I'll ever do it again.

What is "dishonest" about this? There are no lies or deception here. A scam would seem to have to involve either (a) lying about the cost, so it rings up at checkout as more than advertised or they reveal at the end that you have to like a page in order to get the deal, or (b) lying about the product, for example if there were a claim that "1 in 4 people get the Witcher 3!" when in fact no one does. You're just using language imprecisely and rationalizing it post hoc because you don't like the clearly stated terms of the deal.

I bought two, mainly since I hardly ever buy games from them and they have quite a few of my wishlisted games on the list. I'm kinda disappointed, but meh, I knew the risk going in and it does support the site. Not games that I would normally play, but I'll give them a shot one day. Maybe they might surprise me and I will enjoy them.
Skyshine's BEDLAM Redux!
Space Empires IV Deluxe

I tried my luck, these are what I got:
King's Bounty: Dark Side
Soma (wishlisted)
Tahira: Echoes of the Astral Empire (seems a game that I can enjoy)
BIT:TRIP BEAT
UnderRail (wishlisted)
plus I got Hard West (wishlisted) by spending 15$
overall, I'm happy with what I got.

Remember if you don't like the game you can get a refund as long as you have not already downloaded it 😎
I got refunds for some and got new stars and got games I was actually after.
Of course you can just get your money back (via PayPal etc...) or request the refund in GOG wallet credit
So there is actually no risk if you don't like the game 😀

I got Port Royale 2.
Looks like a cleaned up version of sid meier's pirates (which is actually pretty fun)
Rather have my $3 back lol
