Melhelix: Hmmm so no Banished yet, eh? May end up just grabbing it at the 10 dollar price.
It seems Banished won't be discounted more then 50%. Its not scheduled for a flash sale or a bundle deal either. If you wan't you can wait till 29th and see if it comes around as a freebie. For now it seems that all of JMichs predictions about games on sale are becoming true.
I still think they should have each game available for fifty minutes (ten minutes for each row in the current format) and keep the rotation moving at a quicker pace. The top row has no countdown - one hour left means nothing.
Aside from possibly picking up Broken Sword 5 on my next payday, I have picked up everything on the Flash Sales that interests me. Now, it's just a matter of waiting for the few daily bundles that I have my eye on to appear. GOG really should do something to keep this exciting. It was much more fun when they were rolling them out six at a time on the first day. It's also strange how some games have shown up three times already and others have only appeared once. Maybe the algorithm really is random?

Oh well. They can't all be Insomnia Sales, right?

Maybe the agreements are not the same for all the games participating in the flash deals, that would explain why some games already appeared more times than others.
Uhm, did I actually miss the Thief bundle...? Oh my... :(

Wiser people than me believes it could repeat on the 18th or the 29th.

Let's hope for the best then! Thanks! :)
So, despite of JMich's finding, no discount on Whistleblower in sight ?

My suspicion as well. It seems that GOG has to negotiate discounts and quantities for sales such as this, especially with the newer released and the more in-demand titles. So probably their algorithm has to be weighted and tweaked to keep the offerings in line with the sales figures. Since the sale is going on for so long we may see the "topping up" phenomenon that we saw in other sales, where the stock of certain sales games is replenished at some point and they become more readily available again.

No, that one and Banished continue to elude.

Not yet, but if it is in JMich's list of games that he found, then I would bet that it will show up eventually. Banished is supposed to be on sale as well in a flash as well as Age of Wonders 3 Deluxe Edition (which has only shown up once.). None of them have shown yet, but some that were and hadn't have now started showing.

Has anybody experienced their Flash Deals page not updating? The timers on the two Daily Deals tick over nicely, but the Flash Deal coundowns are fixed at one hour...

It doesn't start a countdown until it gets below 60 minutes

It's working for me. Once the deal has less than an hour, it switches from 1HR to the countdown.

Thanks, jadeblackhawk and Coelocanth, but the problem is with the top row and the first game of the second row - all are locked at 1 hour to go. It seems time is standing still here.
