In addition to the sale, GOG announced their collaboration with the cloud gaming service Amazon Luna is now kicking off. So beginning today you'll be able to link your GOG and Luna accounts, to access your GOG games on Luna directly. Additionally, Amazon Luna is now available in Austria, the Netherlands, and Poland now too. There's only 40 or so games currently supported with more to be added over time.
GOG's sale runs until July 11th, 7AM UTC.
See their full Summer Sale 2024 page for more. I may update this post with more good deals, so keep looking back for extras.

Quoting: kit89Do the above gog links fail to open for anyone else?Looks like they redirect through a tracking site. My network and browser config also blocks it. When I click on it the window flashes and I'm still on this page.
So the first link, https://af.gog.com/en/game/dragons_dogma_dark_arisen?as=1636858786, redirects to https://track.adtraction.com/t/t?a=1578845458&as=1636858786&t=2&tk=1&url=https://www.gog.com:80/en/game/dragons_dogma_dark_arisen

They're affiliate links, so common ad-blockers will likely block them.

Quoting: kit89Do the above gog links fail to open for anyone else?The links are the same ones we always use as a GOG Affiliate. I did notice ublock recently just refuses to let them even open, so it’s a plugin issue.
If a plugin you use doesn't even tell you anything, I would consider that a bug and there's nothing I can personally do about it.
Also, article updated with the Amazon Luna info now live.

Quoting: emphyVivaldi Mobile used to let these pass, but about a week ago it started aggressively blocking the links. Seems like this has happened with a number of ad-blockers recently ...Quoting: kit89Do the above gog links fail to open for anyone else?

So no issue here.
