Just want to make a suggestion to GOG: Please put a countdown clock for every promo. The weekend promos always have countdown to when the promos are over. However, the occasional promos do not. For examples: The current Pay What You Want: Divine Anthology promo does not have a countdown. Last week's the Legend of Grimrock promo also did not have one. It had just an ending date and time. The problem is: dates and times have different time zones, and people may not know or pay attention to the time zones.

When the Legend of Grimrock promo was going on last weekend, I did not know if I wanted to buy it. I was only very mildly interested in it. I felt that it was just a dungeon crawler. It had one dungeon and limited variety. It did not even have any outdoor environment or NPC interaction. So it was very low on my wish list. I looked at the ending date and time for the promo: it was to end on Monday, 12AM (I think?) I thought the Legend of Grimrock would end at about the same as the weekend promo. I decided to just get it on Sunday night.

On Sunday's late night, I decided to buy Legend of Grimlock together with the Weekend promo (I bought Quest for Glory plus another game I can't remember.) I was going to pay for everything together. However, when I checked the Legend of Grimrock promo page, the promo was already over. Then I realized the ending date went by different time zone that is ahead of my time zone. I had missed it just by an hour or so. Oh well. That had actually happened to me twice before. If the promos had countdown, that would have been helpful, so your customers could better time themselves.

Good one, you really should add it to the site request wishlist :)

It's just a simple feature. GOG already has the scripts/codes. They just need to plug it into every promo.

I had already wished for it, and the basterds said it was complete!
They didn't put timers for live strem events either!

Shame on ye, GOG!

Ok, fine, but the wishlist is still the best place to request these features. It's a bit annoying to see request after request on here, there's an outlet for that elsewhere.

Alternatively, email or PM GOG staff. They're the ones you want to talk to, might as well be direct instead of hoping they happen to click on your thread.
