By who? Can you point us to an official company policy that states without a doubt that there will ALWAYS be a promotion every week? Or are you simply assuming that GOG is a slack business because you misinterpreted information presented to you?

Stop that! You might lead him to believe that GOG should have a contest for free games every week!

I do love me some logic. Good man.

Oh man, me and my big mouth. My bad ;)

Steam, along with all the other digital distro sites get called much worse than slack every time they don't have a sale.

Fucking LOL. I'm not the one calling a company lazy because I assumed that a company had to hold a sale ever week simply because they've held sales before. Methinks you're the one champing at the bits here to a point that could be referred to as "fanboyish" albeit as an "anti-fanboy".
And FYI, sales here have never been on a weekly basis. There have been several weeks without sales before. But then the same can be said for Steam.

You missed the point. This guy thinks that GOG should have sales every week just like Steam, while forgetting that Steam too doesn't have sales. It's not about what they get called when they don't, just the fact that they don't.

What do you usually call putting something off to next week? Or not being bothered doing what you do the majority of the time?

That depends on what's being delayed and why it's being delayed.
Ah, there you go again, assuming that they can't be bothered. Why not actually take a few seconds to consider why they decided not to have a sale this week, instead of just putting it down to laziness...

I think we are all('Cept Xabbott) just being harsh on a new user because he doesn't understand the policy here. We shouldn't waste our time arguing with this person, but more on educating him. Seriously, we all make mistakes, he didn't know, let's all move on before this gets out of hand.
Now, for you mister newcomer:
1) The promo is probably going to either occur on Sunday or not at all. If not, big deal.
2) Don't complain about something so petty as a sale. The games here are no more than 10 dollars, and quite a few are bundled games. If you rather pay 10+ dollars on another site for only a game and DRM, then go ahead.
3) DON'T under any circumstances, insult GOG. They have a ton of HARDCORE fans (Weclock, Aliasalpha, Stonebro, Bladder of Doom, etc..) who will (Except Alias probably. Cool dude.) get on to you, and you wont win.
Now, can we all get along. =)
Edit: Spelled ton wrong. Damn Facebook cutting me off.

If the original poster had been so prudent as to review the news and rumours from before the christmas sale, he would have spotted a promise pertaining larger upcoming announcements. These announcements pending a few weeks of preparation.
Now, the following alternatives present themselves.
1. The GoG staff has a lot of shit to do these days, and skipped on a weekend deal in order to devote their time unto the completion of whatever the announcement contains. Possibly new publisher deals, or a major website update. Or both.
2. The GoG staff are reasonable people, and thought that most active customers should have gotten their fix, and well so, with the christmas sale which included very nearly the entire catalogue. Hence, the weekend deal was skipped this time around. For the record, there is no promise from GoG to always have a weekend sale, it is entirely at their own discretion.
3. The GoG staff thought that now, starting the new year, would be a good time to quietly abandon the service, as they have made enough money on it by now to make up for the original investments in the infrastructure required to power such an endeavour. Digital distribution, that is.
In either case, we arrive at the same conclusion; the original post, and possibly the original poster, is a waste of space.

The Hidden Gem deal wasn't originally supposed to be that frequent. I've never seen anything that guarantees a weekend deal either. After the holiday sale, it's hardly surprising they're not putting out another one - there are no other titles they can discount at this point.

OKAY I CONFESS! It's my fault....
You see there was a bug in Sanitarium - well more specifically a regression. I reported it and the GoG team must have leapt onto it devoting all their time to fixing it (which they did) and not preparing anything else for poor JacobNZ here who really doesn't want to go to Steam but may be forced to if by golly GoG don't pull their socks up!
So sorry everyone.... If only I hadn't reported that bug there might have been maybe 3 or 4 titles with up to a whole dollar off!

...OMG WTF LOL!!
+1 for the humor.
I think that we all just need to let this post die.

I'm wondering of the original poster has also complained on the Steam forums this weekend about their only having one game as part of their weekend sale this weekend, rather than the several they had been doing previous weekends? After all, didn't their previous multi-game sales create an expectation of the same from that point forward?
If you have not, in fact, made such a post over there it simply proves that you are nothing more than a gigantic hypocrite.
