Klumpen0815: Am I the only one who owns most of the games, but all of them are listed under "Games You Don't Own" in current sales like this one?

The bug is intermittent.
It behaves normally sometimes, and malfunction sometimes.

I this particular sale I have many games correctly sorted in the "own" category, but upon closer inspection, the "Raiden V", which I bought just recently (<2w), is under "Games You Don't Own".

Not sure, if it's related to the date of buy, but I can confirm the sorting doesn't work 100% correct.
GOG is pretty much done. They stopped putting out older games, the reason people came here and decided they wanted to compete with new titles against Steam, Origin etc.

But GOG already won long ago: my GOG library bigger then my steam, my origin, etc libraries combined. Now GOG trying hard to lose me.

GOG desperately want to be as popular as Steam, but they never will be and they're only pissing off their core audience by trying.

They're really not. They're going for that part of the consumer base that wants modern releases that they can actually own a copy of. It's a far more sustainable business model than just refurbishing ancient games.

If that is the case why has GOG lost money in Q1 to Q3 of 2018?
Personally, I rather like it. GOG por vida.

At least make a news archive. Again I cannot access news from two days ago.

Because they wasted vast money and resources on Galaxy, profiles, and a website redesign that their users loathe. Imo, all of those resources should have instead gone towards bringing more classic and "old AAA" titles back from when AAA games were good (so, basically, pre-Steam).

I like most of these things (not the website changes) and I think GOG needs them, and needs new games, to be more broadly appealing. That bucket of old classics is going to run out eventually and the number of people who are nostalgic for them isn't going to grow either.

Shifting focus toward new games to 'compete' with Steam while failing to offer competitive prices and offering a subpar patches/updates service.

Well there is at least one thing that will grow, it's the number of people who are disappointed in newer games. Plenty of old games have passed the test of time.

I‘m 100% with you on this,but the GOG officials seem to know better, because they get much more money then we do. Or maybe not??? Time will tell.

Still my question remains. Why are they making losses then for not only a quarter but at least three quarters?
And how do you know that the people interested in classics will not grow?
Competing with the big players like Steam and Origin and maybe Epic will imho not end well for GOG, because of their incompetence programming team (forum, website and Galaxy), which every halfwit does better. Just look at Steam or Origin.

There are good and great games in every generation. Games that were cutting-edge AAA 10 years ago are now a nostalgic part of people's childhood. Are these the games people want when they ask for classics on GOG? No, they want 90s games, none of this ''new'' garbage. Meanwhile a lot of the people who actually played these games in the 90s are going into middle age. So, assuming that nostalgia is a big selling point and that every year the selection of good old games grows larger, it makes sense that there's going to be less interest in very old games, not more.

Yes, there are lots of great games but the 90s don't have a monopoly on greatness. And if you can play a classic from 2008 or one from 1998 and you have limited time and no emotional attachment to either, you'll probably choose the one that's more presentable and has more modern design that you're familiar with, and then maybe watch a playthrough of the other one.

Oh man... Did you see Andromeda, Fallout 76 and now Anthem? It's more like "The Last Day of Pompeii" nowadays. Cyberpunk 2077 is the only hope.

If that resources will bring games like System Shock remastered on GOG instead - will probably benefit everyone.
