Isn't this a basic feature for most sites when it comes to wishlists?

The assumption is that it was broken after the recent site redesign and has yet to be fixed.

The site redesign has been live for how long now? I wouldn't think this would be a major thing to fix/re-implement.

Ya, this bugged me too. Sometimes the discounts show up for me, but not always.

Actually, my wishlist is not working at all right now. It says I don't have any games wishlisted, but when I check the gamelists the hearts still show up as usual. GOG bears are up to something...

If you'd like to know the base discounts for all items, this could be of help -

It actually was working earlier. I think this is like the "Owned" tab being taken off last big sale. You wouldn't think it, but little "server checks" like this eat cycles that GoG probably needs for other things right now. So I wouldn't expect to see discount prices back, especially with a free game being given away and all the added traffic that brings.

The thing is, sales are one of the few times where wishlists are actually useful. So disabling that functionality during a sale is a bit counter-productive. I would think having people run searches, people flipping through 18 or so pages of games (because the discounted games list doesn't seem to display everything), and people clicking every title on their wishlist to check each game page would all hit the servers harder.

It seems to be working for me.

I can understand how turning off the owned check when viewing the catalog might save site resources during a big sale, but the wishlist? That really shouldn't be much of a tax on the system. It's a interesting thought, but I don't think I buy this being intentional....

pretty much everything is minimum 50% off except new games and a few select games. So most everything in anybody's wish list is on sale. I just keep an eye on the flash sales on the front page to avoid spending too much money.

Judging by CarrionCrow's list, this is a pretty big oversimplification.
