Thanks for keeping the list :).

Hm... so Witcher special sale through Sunday and if they do a week long presale like they sometimes do that could mean a Summer Sale starting on the 30th. If it seems like an extra good weekly sale next week I'd guess that is the plan, although since there were a couple of early years and then later again last year maybe the earlier time didn't work out that well.
I was wondering just that. The Summer sale could be right around the corner. Though I have considered the recent sales a bit lacking.
Seems like I already own most of the cheap games I am interested in and other games are stuck in their price point.

Still, looking forward to it.

Yup, same here. Today there are much more interesting releases and spectacular discounts during "regular" weeks; with a lot of discounts offered in Weekly/Midweek/Weekend/Special sales and as a newsletter promo codes, there's absolutely no reason to wait for the big sales.

There are also no big bundles and no bonuses for XP points, which were kind of incentives in the past sales – these solutions (at least in my case) caused purchasing more games which I wasn't directly interested in. With a flat sale being just a list of regular discounts activated all at once, the only sources of excitement are possible pricing errors ;)

I guess it may be to early to start Summer Sale this week – but ranges of dates for this week's sales may bring some tips regarding the big sale start date – we'll see :)
No new weekly sale at midnight Polish time - will it move back to 15:00 or do we get the summer sale? And what kind of new releases do we might get into the store?

Isn't it this one? https://www.gog.com/promo/20220523_weekly_sale

It just seems that it didn't get a news card yet.
Thanks, news card has been added.

But this page did not exist at 6 am Polish time. As you posted the link 4h ago it seems that both scenarios are wrong. It wasn't midnight and it also wasn't old schedule 3 pm :)

Edit: I may be wrong here. My script still does not recognize this link for some reason. Perhaps it was available at midnight, just without an announcement, as suggested above.

Still nothing to indicate that the Summer Sale will happen next week. Maybe they aren't doing a presale this time but I'm guessing it will be later.

2013 Tue-Wed 15 days
2014 Fri-Sun 16 days
2015 Wed-Fri 16 days
2016 Wed-Fri 9 days
2017 Tue-Tues 14 days
2018 Mon-Mon 14 days
2019 Thu-Mon 18 days
2020 Wed-Mon 19 days
2021 Wed-Mon 19 days

So there is a bit of a pattern the past few years and if it starts on a Wednesday maybe the presale (if any) will start that day also. I'm going to guess Wed June 15 - Monday July 4.
at least not this week that's for sure. Because highlighting Wednesday of the warhammer conference like last year.

I am pretty sure GOG times their seasonal sales to end just before whenever the corresponding seasonal sales on S**** are scheduled to start.

Meaning, GOG's Summer Sale will probably start two weeks before S****'s Summer sale starts (note: censored in case mentioning the other store by name is now considered a violation of GOG's new policies).

Yes, I feel a bit divided on that. I ended up spending more money but it also made things more interesting. Kind of like the insomnia sales. (Though, wasn't there a piñata game once? I did not like that gambling but it was an effort.)
I once thought right away "That seems like a great price! I think I'll get this game later!" (I don't buy them right away, in case something better comes along mid-sale) ended up to be the only time I noticed a pricing error (only I did not realize it). It was Torchlight II, BTW.

This "the same, only bigger" is sucking the fun out of the regular events. I get to appreciate the theme, claim the occasional freebie I never cared much about or already owned (still, I appreciate it) and spend two hours to sort through the discounts, trying to optimize my budget with underwhelming results.
