As far as I can see the only way to see the real prices for someone with a big library is to check the game card page or go to checkout.
In many cases neither the whishlist nor the bundle page shows correct prices.
If I had to guess it's not necessarily a bug, but maybe a shortcut to keep the SQL servers less busy with complex queries for pages where lots of games are shown and only show the final price for a game specific page or check out.
The kind of discounts some of us can get (due to big libraries) is probably not the norm, so most users do see the correct price for a small-medium sized library.

The price at the game card also often is wrong, the only reliable way is the checkout.

There is an error on the sale, where it says Nordic Adventure bundle it shows Black Mirror series on sale but when you open it those games are not shown. Those games are not on sale in the store either. fyi

The mix-up with the Nordic Adventure/Action bundle is probably because both of them should be on sale eventually.

SirPrimalform: Yeah, the page linked is hosting the Nordic Action Bundle instead of the Nordic Adventure Bundle for some reason (look at the title at the top of the page).
Yeah, got me scratching my head. Now I wonder where things went wrong - was it intended to be an Action Bundle all along, was one of the two bundles supposed to come out at a later day, were there supposed to be two Nordic Bundles?

This sale gets harder and harder to follow. Sorry, GOG, looks like you're trying to joggle more than you can handle.

EDIT: typo

I think after the other two big sales I think everyone is on holiday and they've left some monkeys in charge of this one...

I haven't really been following it anyway, but it seems there are a lot more issues than usual, and considering it's not a particularly complicated sale that's odd.

Now now, no reason to look down on monkeys; they've proven to be quite a bright and capable lot.

Quite honestly this is the most muddled sale I think I've ever seen. The problem is some of these groupings are games that have rewards for already owning part of them others are just flat prices. It becomes even more confusing as some games get a discount in some bundles but not in others, and besides going through every bundle and seeing if there is or isn't a benefit your out of luck.

The old way was better i.e. if it is in a bundle you get a discount for owning some of them already and if it isn't in the bundle check your wishlist and see if it is on sale.

If GOG really want to do something like this they need to split this so they have curators picks in a separate section and call them something uniform instead of mixing and matching the words collections and bundles how about 'top picks'??

Then a section of the actual traditional way of doing bundles gog has always had. It would also be nice if they are going to dump games into multiple bundles for the wishlist notifications to actually tell you that is is in 'bundle x & y and if you want it cheaper look at bundle x because there is a bundle discount with that one'

It has also made it harder with the sale adding new games to the sale every day, at this rate I'm just going to end up waiting till the last day of the sale and trying to work things out based on what I most want and how much I can afford to spend.

Hey guys, exactly this ^

So, we'll be pulling the Adventure bundle down for 10 minutes to give it ACTUAL adventure games, and the "Nordic Action" bundle (with the current games) are coming back tomorrow!

Yes it is, and on top of everything, waiting for the last day might lead to you missing out on something, as some deals vanish at some point without any heads up. And with all the bugs popping up/lingering on, one can't even tell if something's intentional/scheduled, or simply a bug.

RWarehall: If anyone is interested in just a list of games on sale (including bundle prices), here's a link to my spreadsheet.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fW_hBX_4Ldej4YDIpaSu1357CH3-o0rLUwnXWKLm_bE/edit?usp=sharing

I've added a tab for just this sale including games which were once on sale but have been removed. Some were planned to end early, like the Civ Games. Others, not so much, many upgrades and soundtracks appeared for a day or two and lost their sale prices.

Of course if the removal was not intentional, GoG, you can see the list too and return the discounts if it was a mistake.
Thanks for all the work!
I do have an inquiry though about the following listings:
Man O' War: Fledgling Griffon $29.99 FREE $0.00 12/5/2016
Man O' War: Reik’s Fashion $29.99 FREE $0.00 12/5/2016
Hmmm, what? when did this happen? or is it just a price mismatch for a yet to be listed game?

Edit: nvm

Ah, so that's why my $4.99 Titan Quest Anniversary jumped to $19.99 as I tried to check out?

Thanks. I was building my list to purchase soon, and I though I was going crazy regarding that bundle and Legend of Kay disappearing.
