You know how to find out when a game is no longer on sale you have the timer (running or noted) in the email/specific url of the news item, store page which you have to remember which games belong under which sale?

Here is a suggestion to make sure people don't miss sales and actually buy the games more often.
Have the timer or at least the date and time when the sale ends for the specific game, on the actual store page of the game.


Over the years I have missed many sales because of that, and if I am waiting for a game to go on a sale it means I am definitely not going to buy it at full price. So when I miss the sale, I am not buying it at all.

Just a suggestion.

Yeah they really should have a timer on every single discount, so we wouldn't have to play detective.

Much too much hassle.

GOG already has that but since it's still experimental it is hidden by default.

See screenshot.

And how does one unhide it?

With your browser's developer tools if you just want to have a quick look at it. Or you can write a custom CSS that always unhides it if you want to see it all the time.

But since it's experimental I wouldn't rely on it. I would wait until GOG makes the display official and unhides it.

That's cool! Thanks, I didn't know that.

By the way, I recommend doing this:

Add the game to wishlist and then turn on the e-mail notifications. The notification has the end-date for the specific discount.

GOG support might hate me a bit but... If the game disappears from a sale but you have the e-mail as a proof that the sale was not meant to end so soon, then, the support MIGHT give you an exclusive discount code as an extension!!!

But this does not cover when a discount gets actually extended by another sale. I wrote this as a suggestion once. They might be considering it. Who knows?

I always check the game pages's source code and search it for "promo". Then you can find a line like:
"<span class="product-actions__offer-ends-in">Offer ends on: </span><span class="product-actions__time">03/10/2023 00:59 EEST</span>"

The date format is DD / MM / YYYY!

What the hell does it matter?

It matters because it's an international standard; and should be used for internal consistency.

Maybe it's just because I have a German account. Or GoG is polish, who knows :)

That's such a dumb gripe to raise hell for

GOG is a Polish company, sitting in Europe, and the default format here is DD/MM/YY(YY).

No it isn't.
