OK so it sounds like the best way to do it might be to just see what the big sales are each day and buy them, and then some time near the 25th, buy everything else that's 50% off that I want and still haven't gotten?

I guess I'll do that, but it leaves and uneasy feeling in my stomach, like they'll stop or at least change which ones are 50% and I might miss out.

Dalswyn: Most of Gog's catalog is currently discounted at 50%.
Good to know, because the discounts are not displayed on the wishlist.

They *do* stop some of the discounts early when publishers request. If you ask in the Fall thread, a moderator (blue text) will likely be able to tell you which games will end their discounts early.

There's also often (though not always) a day where all the big bundle discounts are available.

HeresMyAccount: Of course the other issue is that some of them go on sale for 70-80% off, so if I buy a lot at 50% I could have gotten a better deal but wouldn't know ahead of time! Of course a lot of it is cheap enough that even at 50% off it's a great deal so I won't complain ;)
I'm sorry, but this will not do. One MUST complain that a sale discount is not discount-y enough, no matter how cheap it is and no matter how great the game! It is the way of things these days and we will not tolerate any deviation from the new norm.

; )

And a belated welcome to gOg!

Doesn't the sale cycle through all of the games once or twice anyway? I seem to remember that being the case in the earlier sales of this style. So if you miss the game you want just give it a few days and you'll probably see the game you want(ed) again at the discount you wanted.
