Wow, thanks to IAmSinistar for starting this tracking thread. (and for tracking the games)

I'll be looking forward to crossing off some wishlist games and maybe picking up some gifting copies! Looks like it won't be quite as stressful as insomnia though. lol

qfasinsky: Well, another sale and another missed oportunity to grab some games at discounted pirice. I logged only to see that King's Bounty is vanishing from offer in three... two... one second (and, ladies and gentlemen, it's gone!). With all love I have for GOG, I'm starting to hate all those flash sales. So, anyone knows if the special offers will repeat?
There is 17 days for this promo which translated to 17 X 24 = 408 hours

GOG unlock 6 games every hour so 408 X 6 = 2448 titles

Current GOG put up 700 games for sales so 2448 / 7 = 3.5 rounds give or take.

So I guess after GOG exhaust 700 games after 3 to 4 days, GOG will refresh another round of games for promo?
Payment technical issues again...

IAmSinistar: If anyone is weighing whether or not they should get Clive Barker's Undying and/or Legend Of Grimrock, hesitate no longer. Yes, you should.
My motion sickness really flares up when I play FPS games, especially ones with "bad graphics", so I had to give Undying a miss. I did, however, pick up Grimrock because it just looks too darn cool.
Just big numbers and Fermi's solution with this sale.

If GOG summer sales is about 700 games at six offers per 30 minutes, it will finish at 3 days and a half, more or less.

700 games / 6 games per new offer = 166 blocks of 6 game offers

166 blocks * 30 minutes per offer block = almost 5000 minutes to show all the games.

5000 minutes = 83 hours = 3 days and 12 hours aprox.

SO, DO NOT PANIC. They should make FOUR times the same game offer during this event. But do not get sleepy - Murphy's law never rest!. ;)

Have a nice day! :D

EDIT: Gnostic was faster than me... XD

HypersomniacLive: What if we already have? ;-P
Then congratulations are in order for your excellent discernment. :)

blotunga: I wonder if I should pick up Eador... I've never played it, nor the sequel...
I enjoyed Genesis, though it's quite challenging. Just recently picked up the other, but from what I understand it's mostly a reskin of the original. The spriting in the original is just fine for me.

JMich: Like every sale with adhoc images, I did try to grab those. The images in this paste returned a 404, so most likely they are not part of the flash sales. You can find the images of games that will most likely be in the flash sales here. 231 of them.
Thanks. How does that gibe with the "over 700 games on sale" claim? Are the rest to be presumed to be part of the Daily Deals rather than individually listed out?
OK guys and gals, if you should put a game in your shopping cart that is on sale, and you wait as you look at other games or you eat and it goes off sale you will NOT get it for the sale price. I just found that out the hard way. Had added The Witcher 2 into my shopping cart and waited as I checked out a few other games, and when I went to pay it was at full price. I bought it anyway, but just so you all know what will happen.

I think that's including the games that are currently 50%, which is almost everything on the whole site. :p

Picked up D&D Masterset and Larry. Have been thinking about buying a few of the titles included in the Masterset so was a no brainer once I saw the discount.

Jmich, how did you manage to compile the list for the flash deals? I did thought it would be an impossibility for every single game to be a part of the flash deals.

Miasmata is currently on sale at 50% off. When it next goes on a flash sale, it goes up to 80% off.
Heroes of Might and Magic is currently at 50% off. It probably won't go on a flash sale, though a Daily one is more likely to be part of it.
Urban Chaos is currently at 50% off, and may not be on a Daily Sale.

Ach, I didn't realise that titles were on sale outside of the sale, so to speak. Mindboggling.

Nicole28: JMich, how did you manage to compile the list for the flash deals?
The images in the homepage do follow the format of www.gog.com/adhoc/2014_summer/images/{GAMENAME}.jpg
Grab a list of games on GOG, replace {GAMENAME} with each game's name, then try to grab said picture. If the picture exists, then it most likely will be on a flash sale. If the picture doesn't, there is either something wrong with the {GAMENAME} used (settlers_the instead of the_settlers for example) or the game doesn't have such an image.
Gnostic, alcurnio, thanks for answers! Now I only need to wait for King's Bounty till tuesday. Well, let's hope that flash promos aren't randomized, like it was with Spring Insomnia Promo.

Really full price? I thought it will revert back to 50% off?
