Barefoot_Monkey: It's more than just a security thing. A few times people have created an account and bought a game, then came back a bit later complaining that they can't log in anymore, password resets don't work and they never even received any emails from GOG at all after signing up or buying their games. These are symptoms of people mistyping their email addresses when creating their accounts, and this situation can be avoided using email verification.
skeletonbow: Absolutely. It's a serious problem in my eyes.
