MarkoH01: I like GOG everybody knows that but once again I am noticing a pattern I don't like at all. Unfortunately it has become a typical GOG pattern which is not a good thing: GOG makes an announcement to tell people that games are on sale - meaning they want us to buy something. That alone of course is not a bad thing ;) However there are several questions asked in this thread and so far not a single reply from one of the GOG staff to answer those. I really don't understand why GOG (unfortunately as usual) has so many problems with feedback. It's not just answering questions it also gives the community the feeling that GOG is caring. I know they have many other things to do but are one or two replies really are too much to ask for? I don't think so.

Thank you for the sale though, GOG and for whatever comes tomorrow (even though I don't know yet if this will be a good thing or not ;)).
What do you exactly mean by saying "there are several questions asked in this thread and so far not a single reply from one of the GOG staff"? The questions I see in the thread are regarding Tuesday surprise, and I won't spoil that you just need to wait for it.

MarkoH01: -So other than tomorrow's "something", again no change in the deals available all the way to the end?
-So this time the offers will stay for a week? Unchanged? :P
-EDIT: Does the wishlist notification only work for regular/individual sales? Not that I mind, just curious.


So while the last question is just a "out of curiosity" question the first and second are questions that are important regarding the sale and to be honest I am also not sure what the answer to those is. If I am looking at the front page it says "Weeklong Sales" without being a tab to chose so that would mean that ALL deals are weeklong and so there won't be any changes. However I am just guessing here and a quick statement on this would help people who are afraid that they might miss a deal.
Since this is not the usual weeklong sale, which gets updated on Fridays, the offer will remain like it is for the whole week. Although, you can never be sure if we won't add something for the weekend, but if we do we will let you all know about it ;)

Wishlist notifications should work for all sales. If it haven't worked for you this time we'd nee to investigate it.

MarkoH01: Please remove all those " record low " signs from the front page . Many of those games were already cheaper in elsewhere .


Even though in this case I am quite sure that in this case the record low price means that it is a record on GOG and not "elsewhere".
The record low is for all legit digital distribution services, i.e. we haven't taken marketplaces into account for that.

MarkoH01: While this may well be the case, they popped up while I was browsing the new sales. I can live with an occasional glitch, but such glitches wouldn't result in effective misinformation if two very simple things were done: (1) add a timer on the pages of discounted items to indicate when their discount expires, and (2) clearly identify the promotion(s) to which the game is associated. The latter is extremely important when different promotions result in different discounts -- such as when discounts scale with how many items you get from the specific promotion -- or when sales overlap. In UI design, this is known as "the principle of least astonishment".
The timer is always visible on the sale page, but the idea of adding one on game page is something I'll ask our dev team to look into. As for identifying the promotions, we are doing it in the newsposts and on the sale's pages. Frankly, it's one of the first times that I encounter that someone mixed the sales on GOG and missed some discounts. But yes, we can always improve some things. Thanks!

aintfraidofnoghost: Yo, it's been Tuesday here (Australia) for more than 8 hours and no sign on the website of a special something to be seen. What's up with that?
It's just past midnight here, so you need to wait just a little bit more.
