For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the subject, Indiegala has, for a very long time now, done this cool thing where if you check the site often, they would put one or two of their bundles on "Happy Hour" for a few hours. During this time, if you bought the bundle and checked the correct box during checkout, you actually got two bundles for the price of one.

They lured me in dozens of times with this deal...probably bought a lot of bundles that I might not have otherwise purchased because of it. But over the past 2-3 weeks, each time I've checked, there has not been a single Happy Hour deal. Has anyone else noticed the same thing? Does anyone have info on whether they're phasing this out? Anyone from IG on here want to make a comment?

If it's not happening any more, it'll be disappointing, for sure. Heck, it'll probably mean that I buy about 25% of what I used to if I can't ever get Happy Hour deals. I hope that this is just a temporary lull in activity.

Huh, weird. I checked multiple times on the 19th, and never saw a happy hour tag on any of them. I mean, they're obviously still doing the "we just launched this bundle and it's on discount" pricing, but no Happy Hour at all that I've seen. And I've been checking multiple times per day for the past few days.

Do you see anything labeled Happy Hour right now? Because I definitely have nothing.

[And just to make sure we're speaking the same language here...the introductory "Special Pricing" is not the same thing as Happy Hour. I'm still definitely seeing the special pricing for a few hours upon launch of new bundles. But Happy Hour has been conspicuously absent.]

So it is! I see it! Huzzah!

But you know what? It only shows on the drill-in to the bundle itself. Usually, you see a "Happy Hour" tag when you look at the list of bundles. That's still missing. I'm betting that this is a site bug. Because I really don't want to have to drill in to every bundle to figure out if they're on Happy Hour. :D

I have a direct email for their support. I'll drop them a line and let them know.

Yeah, it's not there for me:

EDIT: You know what's extra weird? This screen shot is from Chrome, where it's not working at all. I tried it in Edge, and it's working fine there. So strange.

Edge has been getting really good again lately (like freaky fast, too). I may have to switch back to it as my primary browser (if only ESGST had proper support in Edge, I'd definitely go that way).

weird, doing the Inspect thing within Chrome, the little sidebar-"Happy Hour" tag disappear... refreshing the page, and then again, it shows up again...

i've also found this, for the more curious of you out there:

<div class="homebundle-type  hide-under-1440">

            happy hour

    </div>

that hide-under there... might tell us something :D

edit: btw, OVIVO is AWESOME

The only Happy Hour problem I've had at Indie Gala is the occasional "oops, we shorted you on gift links" but a quick email will fix that. Would be nice if you didn't need to email anyone to get all your keys, but eh...
