In case anyone is keeping track of this, the counter for the Broken Sword bundle started at 38 this time around.

rgnrk: Yeap, I filled the ticked just after it happened the second time and I realised that the orders where pending in my account history.
But at least one of the two is paid.
That's good--and super weird, given it was the same error both times. XD

budejovice: The new format has grown on me. I like it. You certainly don't have to stick around your computer screen quite as stubbornly as the first few insomnias.
Yes, but you also do have less time to write here if you want make sure not to miss a game.

Alright, cleaned up my desk after the Julia milk incident.

I now have purchased 32 games during this sale, and haven't gotten a 3rd freebie yet. It's currently asking for 3 more games..

what do I do now O_o

rgnrk: Yes, I lost my last freebie too.
And yes, it says that the message might take a few hours to be delivered. Mainly because it's not up to them how the email works, and if it works. But that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be in the "learn more" popup. And mine is not.
Basically, my hypothesis right now is 50%/50% between a bug with giving you the free game, or a bug with taking the counter down when they get out of freebies.
Actually, this possible multi-hour delay is pretty much par for the course for GOG. Most of the time when they have freebies, they say there may be a multi-hour delay, but the codes do get delivered eventually.

They don't try to constantly flush the queue, or whatever method they use, because their servers might blow up. They figured this out a few years(?) back with whichever freebie it was that nearly brought the site down.

Did anyone notice when Xenonauts were offered last time? I saw them on day first of current Insomia Promo but then no more..

omega64: Great, keep getting an error with Broken Sword, guess I'm not buying it.
Have you managed to get it yet? I'm still seeing a few copies up.

Edit: 1 copy left. Considering the last several rounds, feels strange to see this batch take more than 10 minutes to pass.

Pre-post Edit 2: Nvm, there it went.

I'm not worried about getting a 3rd freebie. This sale is amazing as it is already, the gifted games are just a bonus. I'm sure it'll all untangle in a day or so. But yeah, documenting bugs is kind of a thing, right? ;)

Yep they dropped Jotun by 9 cent. drats

Starting to feel like I missed D&D and just will continue to do so. Its pretty crappy to put it up so extremely rarely, but then again a $15 price on a $60 package I can kind of see why, but still that sucks.
