I have complained (to the support) in the past of how some specials hijack the Checkout and won`t let you add any more items, and got no response! I am fed up with GOG ignoring this...being forced to go to checkout and pay for a few dollars and then coming back and paying for another special in the amount of a few dollars is just stupid! I have and will avoid these purchases for pure inconvenience and because I just will not put up with it! Am I the only person who is not happy with this???

Instead of selecting the special/bundle itself, select all the individual games from the store. You will get the same price and you can then add other games as well. A bit cumbersome, but worked for me last time I checked.
It surprises me that GOG still hasn't figured out a way for a customer to stack multiple promos during checkout. It's just weird that a customer will have to manually go to each game card to buy the games.
My resolution has been just to go to the 'on sale' tag/page, and then select all the games I want, and if they all have to be there to give you a higher discount then use the other promo pages to compare against to make sure you get them prior to checkout...

But otherwise, yes it's annoying...

I'd also add the 'recommended' stuff at the bottom is crap, I'd rather hvae the rotating wishlist we had before, since then I could cycle through games I know I want and see if I missed any...
It also annoy me that GoG does not gives individual gift keys when I buy a bundle of games as gift. If I am buying 10 games as gifts I have to go through the purchase process 10 times, because it will bundle all 10 gift in a key if I do not.

Yeah, well, that's been a wishlist entry for years. You want to know probably the only way to make a difference? Don't buy the ten games. Instead, open a ticket telling them that you would have bought ten games, but you won't go through checkout ten times for what should be a single purchase. Maybe if everyone did that they'd finally blow the fifty bucks to hire a real programmer for 45 minutes to fix their system; maybe they need to see something resembling proof of lost sales to finally knock it out.

Course, I've made that mistake myself - going through the hard way instead of trying to convince them to make things better. Wish I'd settled on a tactic sooner ^_^

First of all, people will complain about the most random stuff in existence and will get pissed at the weirdest of reasons. If you're annoyed at this, how do you react when you get cut off in traffic twice during the same minute? Do you just wreck the second's guy car in a rage? Just being sarcastic here, but you do realize this complaint is pretty much odd at best. Is it annoying? Sure. I can clearly see you're upset. Is it an issue that should impact your decisions? Well, if it is then I'm kinda done reasoning here. It would seem like a lost cause.

Second of all, I don't remember hijacking anything. If I did hijack something, it would have been all over the deep web by now.

Well last year I bought a couple of bundles and ask them to split maybe 20 games out of the bundle. It had the side effect of not registering in my gift library, but I figure if I annoy them enough with splitting my gift I can actually get them to change. I am going to try again with the DnD bundle.

Heh, your attempts are admirable. Good luck to your, sir!

Ditto...

The solution I would do is all users are given a pool of games for gifts, then you select the games you want and it will remove those games from your pool and create a new key holding only those games. That would allow for buying 10 copies of a game, or 10 individual games and creating separate keys. Honestly there's enough combinations in they codes that they can easily generate one on the fly at any time, so as long as there's the receipts held by GoG, how they distribute new digital games.

This would also let you buy games and decide which games you want to throw into the pool and redeem immediately as a checkbox option, although you could always go to the pool afterwards if you made a mistake...
