MadalinStroe: i asked because on gamedeals reddit it's listed as deal expired.
I wonder who marked it as such. Maybe it was GOG. The expiration is Dec 2018 but maybe GOG ended it.

Linko90: Hate to rain some cold hard truth upon the fiery passions, but it's not a bundle. As mentioned before, The Witcher series is currently on sale on the main page. There is no Witcher bundle now, or hidden anywhere else.

Sorry for the boring answer!

GrandMasterKain: What's up with the MMLXXVII redeem code thing? Couldn't go past page 67 then the whole thing stopped working. Any official word on what that was about?
So the 'MMLXXVII' situation. The code does not work. In spite of what various outlets and external threads have claimed, the code did not grant anyone one free game of their choice. All the code did was send users to an unintended page.

The code is not part of any official promotion. We're sorry for the misunderstanding.

Lol, so the whole thing was just a mistake...
I did think it was a bit generous.

It's not uncommon that a combination of letter will give you a page with "free" games. For example redeem/EnigmaticT will give you you 104 pages of free games, redeem/fables22 will give you Freedom Planet. Those codes don't really work though and the games can't be redeemed.

vidsgame: Anyone mention this yet in this thread?
Why did you present that as a mike_cesara quote? The week-old post in question is about an unannounced Anno promo.

I was trying to post his quote from the other thread talking about it but it refused to link so I had to improvise.

That's the only vehicle I have left and it's a moped. It won't get you far with 25% battery. You could have my last pair of pants though.

Thank you, good sir.

But back on topic, I just had wishlist notifications pop up for Oddworld Stranger's Wrath and Indiana Jones: The Emperor's Tomb (a.k.a. the non point&click Indiana Jones). So I think all the Oddworld games and Indiana Jones games are on sale now. Including those two titles that were added but without official announcement, unless I'm mistaken.

HunchBluntley: Why did you present that as a mike_cesara quote? The week-old post in question is about an unannounced Anno promo.

vidsgame: I was trying to post his quote from the other thread talking about it but it refused to link so I had to improvise.
You can use "generic" quote tags like this (remove all spaces within each set of square braces:
[ quote ]Whatever you want to quote[ / quote ]
The result will look something like this:
This is the text of this quote
...unless you try to put the quote tags on different lines than the text to be quoted, in which case it'll look a little odd:

Something should go here
(Unfortunately, if you try to edit or reply to a post containing quotes used this way, the forum software will convert all such generic quotes to this format automatically, so you have change them back before posting if you don't want them to look a little dumb.)

You can also, if you want, combine such quote tags with a link, which is what I usually do when I quote from anywhere outside the specific thread I'm posting in (like I do in my "out of context" thread). I do it like so:
[ quote ][ url = https://bit.ly/2HIM5bE ]Seriously, just imagine something else more interesting here[ / url ][ / quote ]
...which should look something like:
Meh. Stuff. Whatever.
It's generally considered bad form to knowingly represent some content as coming from a specific post when it didn't -- even if the person whose post you're quoting actually did post that content elsewhere. It can come off as misrepresentation, putting words in someone's mouth. (I know you didn't intend any such thing, just giving you a heads-up.) Most acceptable exceptions tend to be comedic, such as "fixed that for you" jokes and the like.

Hope this helps! : )

That really does help. I was posting quickly so that's why I improvised but I will wait next time and think it over more. Also, linking to a post is half and half so that's why I made that call. Often when you click on the post link it takes you to the last page of that thread instead of taking you to the specific page where the quote was made. I learned that from the trading thread. I could be mistaken and the problem could be specific to that thread or just long lists/posts in general so it's just a hypothesis but I do notice that a lot of people tag their trading posts to make it easier to find.

The "linking directly to a specific post does not take one directly to the specified post" problem is Yet Another Forum Bug. Thankfully, 1.) it only affects very long threads, such as the general trading thread or the "What did just update" thread, and 2.) it should still take you to within a page or three of where the actual post lies, so you can still hunt down the post manually by checking the link's URL for the intended post number and comparing that with the post numbers on the page on which you landed. AFAIR, It should only take you to the last page of the thread if the post linked to was a recent one -- i.e., within a page or two of the end of the thread. Though I think it's been quite a while since I ran up against this bug, so it's possible some recent change to the forum software might have broken this even more than it used to be.

There is also this rather interesting workaround (note the URL itself, not the content of the linked post -- though do click the link to see its effect): https://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_what_did_just_break_thread/page75#p_b_1504
I don't even remember where I bookmarked this link from originally, but I'm pretty sure it was used by a Blue (maybe even Johny. himself).
Just be aware that you'll have to use a code to replace the "#" character in any URL you use this trick in; "& # 35 ;" (without any spaces...or the quotes, obviously :P ) should work.

Edited for clarification
...And re-edited for fixing my own mistake about which character replacement code would work in the URL

Just be aware that you'll have to use a code to replace the "#" character in any URL you use this trick in; "% 23" (without the space) is probably the quickest.
I get the blackhole:

404 there's nothing here.

I doubt that's supposed to happen. I think IndieGala has it worst than us in terms of their forums. But I digress, this topic is for another thread.
