Happy with what I got... but I'm sticking around in case GOG decides to pull a fast one and offer more. Like pull a 2014 out of nowhere.

I missed DeusEx, but this sale let me buy games otherwise I didn't - because it was cheap. But not many that I totally interested in.
To have 90% discount on Another World, for example.
Come of think of it, why one game per year? If they make, like, five, maybe that might multiple their sales by a factor of 5, plus or minus?

Apparently I had the script fail in one tab (as in not receiving new updates to lengthen/decrease time), and it shows the familiar "The promo has ended". Having saved the AJAX output from the latest promo years, I looked and the message is different from the rest, which say: "Next offer starts soon (no need to refresh)". It is thus safe to assume that there is nothing more.
Therefore I bid you goodnight as I try to record the end time for the sale. Hopefully the last one sticks so I can just pull the final Unix timestand from there.
My Google Docs spreadsheet has been modified to include a separate sheet for statistical information. Hopefully you found it useful.

So, from the 5 games got, 3 already have on other systems and 2 which may not be interesting, but I might try someday.
And the 1 game which I really might want I slept through.
Not exactly epic.

I'm really hating these types of sales (this and the Insomnia sale). They arent fun - they are a waste of time. If I was a student I may have a different opinion, but most of us have lives to live and things to do. An e-sale is not important enough to devote time to.
Hopefully GOG stops this kind of thing.

Well, the end time was recorded as accurate as possible using the last timestamp I pulled.
AJAX had one last data frame at the end, that did not include any time information, so I can't do any better.
There were 9 titles for me in this sale. Very happy.
Sleep well.

I have to admin I loved the Insomnia Sale! Probably wasn't great that I kept waking up during the night and checking my phone to see what was up.
