Same old story with GOG bundles, while they're great for first-time buyers, for everyone else who already own these games, these bundles do nothing but make the "Hide all owned products" filter more useless.

I already own every single game in these two bundles. MARK THEM AS OWNED for me please! Stop breaking the "Hide all owned products" filter further with every bundle.

a bunch more of these devs and you can throw your already questionable vetting process and curation out the window and just let any old shit be available here, like valve does on steam.

GOG.com: 2 Whale Rock Games Bundles with sum discounts of -89% – only on GOG!
I guess, some might call this sale "tone-deaf"...

Something strange going on here...

GOG always pushes Whale Rock Games...

... meanwhile Whale Rock Games releases -- which recently look like asset-flips -- have "dubious" reviews and scores.

These must be the greatest games ever, right?

Or maybe these games are the new mission of GOG?

Or where is Whale Rock Games located again?

Advertising the bundle as "Lowest price in the last 30 days before discount: €186.69" seems misleading, given that in the last 30 days Timelock VR2 has been 70% off, and all of the other 14 games in the bundle have been at least 80% off.

Shovelware in a box who would have thought. Meanwhile what's going on with SEGA releases like Dawn of War for exemple?

@Gog staff : Haha you're so funny .

Niot going to spend any cents on Gog games until this ukrainian shovelware crap will be delisted from the catalog .

The base price of the bundle is €186.69. The most expensive ever released on GOG, and it consists of shovelware and asset flips, I have no words.

@GOG: Imo "shovelware" is a subjective term. But I would really like to hear your feedback on the "fake reviews" accusation. I just skipped through the linked threads and there are pretty good arguments suggesting that some of these these reviews in fact aren't legit. If you should decide to not give us any feedback about this I decide to not bother with this offer at all since I like to be safe than sorry and I prefer trustworthy reviews. So it is up to you to say something - or don't.

smh
a bundle full of weird shovelware gets its own news post?
It's not even actual games

I'm done buying anything on GOG.

No forum presence, just botnet spam and shovelware spam. And "sales" like this taking the piss out of customers in the hope they might sell a few units of this to unsuspecting marks.

Hope GOG turns this around but they are just doubling down on scummy practices atm and I won't support a store doing this shit.

Yeah, personally I'm generally fine with less curation than more, though more filtering tools would be good and GOG should recognize if a lot of people refund a specific game (or games from publishers).

Agreed about "fake reviews" but I'm not expecting much.
