Hi SuMac -- you can find out how to cancel your membership here.As I recall, when you go through the purchase process, there's also a line that allows you to opt out of the membership as you purchase. I don't remember exactly how it's done, though. I opted out of the membership for the first three or four games I bought there. Then I realized I was going to be buying a lot more games there, so I kept the membership.

SuMac, on the left side of the purchase window, unless it's changed, the are one or two check boxes. One of those check boxes is for enrolling in BFG's membership, and it's pre-checked. The next time you purchase a game, make sure to uncheck that box and you won't be charged for BFG's membership.
You are not the first person to have this problem, and this practice has been in contention for some time. Any time you buy a game, or anything else, before clicking buy, make sure to scan the window to make sure you aren't going to receive anything you don't want. Don't be in a hurry, check carefully.

SuMac -- the monthly fee is used to buy one game. So if you know you'll be buying about a game (or more) per month it makes sense to be a member. If you know you won't be purchasing at least one game a month, then the membership doesn't make sense for you.

SuMac, you don't have to be a BFG member to buy games. You can buy games any time you like, just make sure to look over the buy window carefully and uncheck any options you don't want.
One advantage of being a BFG member is that you're able to buy new games a day earlier then non-members.

Also, adding to what Becky said, the three parts will cost more than than buying Syberia 1 and 2.

I've only played a little of it so far and I've already noticed that some things that were in the original have been deleted from this downloaded version. I hope it's not too abreviated, because it was such a good game when I played it years ago. Anyway, I just wanted to try an adventure game on my new iMac, and it looks great. What was deleted? You'd think that by dividing it into three parts that they could have included everything. GOG has just recently decided to offer Mac games. http://www.gog.com/news/gogcom_goes_macOther than Botanicula, they don't have much resembling an adventure game yet, but at least it's a start.

I have the first two parts of Syberia downloaded and have played some of the first part on my iMac. Since I never played it before, I have no point of comparison, but I am enjoying it.
By the way, SuMac, the MacGameStore has lots of adventure games for us, including most of the Kheops games.
