I tried to check a code for today's newsletter and no matter how many images I correctly verify, it all leads to please try again error.

I think we've all used captcha enough times to know what we're doing.

This was happening with the Hulu captcha today also. Regardless of which set of images they want verified, none seem to succeed.

Anyone else experiencing this on the GOG redeem page?

This is "normal".

This place is a deathtrap!
Why am i getting captchas when i get an email to the email address you have had for years, more captchas and the photos btw are terrible, and then MORE when I try and BUY the games...do you want my money or dont you?

Do you want me to buy these or not bother anymore since I have had to do captcha after captcha after captcha and it makes no sense to get in the way of a PURCHASE, does it?

Fix this will you?

I'm getting the feeling that the correct solutions for Captcha puzzles are continuously corrected by the responses that are deemed to be human. Which is to say that if the majority of "human" responses go against the currently correct solution, they will eventually end up changing the solution for the puzzle.

Which is to say, even though you are convinced that you correctly solved the Captcha, it might just be that the actual solution is incorrect, as voted by the majority. And now, you need to solve twice as many correct Captcha in order to be assessed as "Human". Basically the more bad/incorrect responses you give, the more correct ones you need to give for the process to reach a Human/Robot state.

Whenever I seem to hit an never ending string of Captchas, I just close the window and start again.
Sometimes it happened to me. Just as MadalinStroe suggested just close the window and start over, I would also suggest to clear all cookies (from the beginning of time / all time) and restart the browser, you may also try to change DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4. - this may help.

CAPTCHA is the worst thing ever happened to GOG! One time I got it upon a log in process, that was a pure nightmare.

Thats also my understanding of how this works. "Correct" does not properly correlate with correct in terms of what the text is telling you. If you are unusually intelligent or diligent for example you have to downlevel your brain activity.
Also if you are not a Google sheep they will (logically I dont actually know) demand a random number of "correct" solutions from you in an attempt to outsmart bots. In order to outsmart bots they must make it hard for bots to distinct "correct" from not "correct". Of course this also means its impossible for a human trying to solve it to determine whether they solved something "correctly" and were just randomly screwed over by Google.
In addition to that Google supposedly also uses time used for clicking and other such measures - not just what you click at. So if you are faster than the norm you will be considered more likely to be a bot - this is kind of Google recognizing that bots are simply better at solving captchas than humans.
Or if you use an unusual mouse you may also get flagged as likely-a-bot etc.
Basically the whole thing may have the implied goal of turning everybody into normalized data-etc-harvestable Google sheeps.

Yesterday I have to tried like 5 times to solve it.
it isn't always if you get everything right, sadly sometimes it can be "Wrong" just based on how you do it.
DEATH to google craptcha!

is anything not broken on gog?
You don't actually need to solve every recatchcapchaptactaca. Just press "ignore" until there's the "verify" option, solve it and done.

I wish their keyboard would break.
Yeah we've reached a point where solving Captchas is easier for bots than humans... what was the purpose of those puzzles again?

it was either to train the gogbear 5000 killbot or skynet.
