madth3: Well, my machine barely scratches the recommended requirements for The Witcher 2 but it's $3.99 and we have to support the house team, right?
The Witcher 2 for $3.99 is almost like gifted for free. ;-)

Anyone else not getting the usual message about purchases having been added to your account?

Let's see.. most of what I would like to grab are on the decent 50% off.

But Dreamfall The Longest Journey and Original War are not on sale at all in this one.

Crossing my fingers that they will appear up in the flash sales, when I'm around for them!

Man, I hope Memoria and Blackwell go on flash/dailies sometime! But half off is great too :)

Artoemius: Yeah, more than 700 games are on sale at 50% off. But I'd recommend to wait for Flash sales and Daily Bundles until June 30th.

EDIT: One of the blue people has confirmed that waiting until June 30th for a larger discount is a viable strategy, unless you want to buy The Swapper, which is only discounted until June 21th:

Hey thanks for pointing that out! At least we know the time runs for the base discounts. GOG should really implement a time tracker for that, the way Steam does.

Oh no. Hourly flash deals? This is going to be worse than the Insomnia sale...


+1 for tracking everything yet again, IAmSinistar.

Thanks again, sir. I'm pretty sure I won't get anything though.

Anyone, correct me on this: there is about 700 games on sale now.
Every hour 6 new games starts their flash discount and 6 games end their turn.
So 700 / 6 = 117 -> that many hours it will take to have every game on the flash discount.
It's almost 5 days. Does it mean that after 5 days the games that we missed will be on discount again?

Right now it seems that 6 new games start every half-hour (EDIT: every 36 minutes, to be precise).

So you're probably even more right and there is hope for those unlucky souls who miss a Flash sale.

Thank God! Or thank GOG, in this case... My husband just went to work and wished me fun with this new sale but I don't think he realises I will probably miss sleep for the next two weeks ;)

Well, let's hope that's true. Just need to wait :D

Well, I came looking for a tracking thread - and sure enough, here it is. Thanks IamSinistar!
Does anyone know from previous sales if the Flash sale games will come up again? I don't think I can stay glued to the screen for 5 days...

Edit: Jumped the gun, saw now the sale lasts til June 30th, so obviously there will be reruns ;)

Coffee poured and list caught up. Now I can relax a bit and enjoy the sale itself. A couple wishlist items already up - The Blackwell Epiphany and Fract OSC. I'm happy enough with a 25% discount on these new releases, so thanks GOG! This is also a great sale for replenishing my gift key cache.
Posted June 13, 2014
Oooooooooh, snap! Time to open your wallets and your 5-Hour Energies!

Many thanks to IAmSinistar for documenting everything once more. I'm looking forward to the fun and delirium!

At least nothing will dissapear in minutes like in the Insomnia sale. :)

And, since we know what's coming in the next hour, we could get some programmed shut-eye. Let's say you see the page change and you are not interested in what's coming in the next hour, you could come back in two hours and see the next block.

(I'm trying to psyche myself here)
