GoG:

It would be super nice if the special hidden deal, when revealed, was a link to that game's info page. So far, I've only gotten games I've never heard of, and - this is whining - so I have to copy and paste the game name, then search for it, rather than a clickable link in the special.

As always, I love GoG and your awesome sales. Just maybe a minor thing to make it perfect. Unless you want to put my entire wishlist on 80% off sale...

EDIT: Comma.

To be honest, I'd just be happy if the special/personal deals offered per day didn't give you an offer on a game you already own.

It seems a bit silly to come up with such a novel idea as random daily offers per user, and then waste them by applying them to a game that GOG are fully aware is in my library.

I know right, I've only gotten games I already have
It would be a nice addition to be able to click on the game name to see what it is. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the sale, though I haven't bought any of the special mystery deals. I did buy a couple other games though.
Highest-level whining, but true. Found myself wondering as well why titles are unclickable.
ive bought few of the random offers - i probably would nto have otherwise. But i already got everything from the big classic bundles so far *sob

It just seems a bit odd that they didn't think of this beforehand - everyone has 20/20 hindsight and all that, but I kind of assumed that these offers would take your library into account, considering you need to be logged into to get them. I thought that was the point.
I just got an offer for a game on my wishlist: Deadly Premonition, 60% off.

By coincidence, the extra 10% off over the regular sale price is almost exactly what my bank will charge me for making an overseas transaction on my debit card. Since the mystery box deals can't be combined with anything else at the checkout, I save a bit compared to buying DP singly at its normal sale price, but not compared to buying it and other wishlisted games at once.

I don't blame GOG for what my bank does, but I hope the promised back-end rewrite will enable more discount combinations at the checkout.

LUCKY! Agh!
I'd like to take advantage of the Charge Up and Go sale, but I'd also like to get the Daily Surprise game and I don't want to have to run 2 transactions on my credit card.

Edit:
Figured it out.

Had to add the two Charge-Up and Go games to my wishlist, then put the Daily Surprise game in my cart and add the two CU&G games to the cart. Doing it the other way around lost the Daily Surprise discount from the game.

add the games from Charge Up and Go to your wishlist, go back to the front page and click buy on the daily surprise game, then on the checkout page scroll through your wishlist games in the column on the left, then you will be able to add them to the single transaction :)

Heh. Yeah, figured that out. It wasn't working the other way around.
I thought it would have been better if there had been 3 random games that appeared each day, but you could only pick one deal.

This is something I can get behind. I've seen lots of people complain about games they already own popping up in the daily sale box, but some of us actually want games we already own to pop up so we can pick up gift\giveaway codes. However, getting to see all three boxes and only being allowed to pick one of them is a nice compromise.
