lol, i hear you on the whole drink and post regret, but I will take it at face value and I do agree with you that I have 'sale' fatigue. To the point that I questioned the honesty of the actual sales, meaning if a game is on discount / sale for a proportionate amount of time then that falls under deception sales practices for a business with false buffed regular price to seemingly reduce for a sale.
To check that out I used a wonderful database made by Yepoleb (https://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_database_a_website_that_collects_data_on_gog_games) https://www.gogdb.org/products
accrued data available showed me that games seem to go on sale 8 times for 3/4 of the yr so one can add in a few more sales for a complete yr. each sale is around 2wks etc and blah blah blah. It falls within legal limits for proper sales I think and put my mind to rest as far as scamming but
yeah, the constant sales are inducing a definite fatigue in me, and apparently others. since their big plans to move Ive noticed an uptick of the sales marketing gimmicks. I think those of us that are on gog daily are affected the most, shoppers that come in now and then will be induced to impulse buy lots and that is the whole purpose of them eh.
*shrugs I cant complain as a sale is a sale is a sale in the end. the database with enough time will show the pattern to the sales and most optimum time to wait for one

So if I paste the above paragraph into Google Translate, and translate it to French and then to English, this is what I get:
I think it's just too much mixed up with lousy discounts on those who are not featured.
liek i <3 jazz 2 (a 'baitted he stait awai!) and' I know his 'naked' to gogie buuut 10% c'mon; I do not go out more than 20 lolz
I still think that Gogie is in a tuff place because they have to neg-oti-ate with the editors buuuut I do not know, hmm
I mean what I advocate; Do not they offer naked games for a little less? yup !! 1 do not put them in for 10% off when this is the case; Instead, hold it until a later sale, big (ger). The discount percentage will be higher and the peeps will feel better for Moolah, because the game will not be too tiring for users.
SMRTTT
Edit: liek trying ta get italizing te funktin
