I fuckin' "love" how gog doesn't let me see the changelog of games I hadn't purchased to check which patchlevel they are offering ... makes decisions quite easier: not buying at gog. (after the "one world, one price" betrayal among other bad decision makes gog somehow obsolete for me .. still waiting for "DRM hurts our sales, we HAVE to embrace DRM, publishers are threatening the lives of our first born child blablabla")

wintermute.: snip
We don't like people giving speeches here about how they don't like to use GOG - if we agreed we wouldn't even be on the forums, so kindly behalt deine Meinung für dich.

Have you looked at this thread:
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_what_did_just_update_thread/page11731

And at the Game specific forums?

No changelog -> not buying at gog

Steel logic.

Steel logic.
To be fair, it is a legitimate reason. There are many known cases of games here on GOG that are lacking some (or many) updates. Being able to see the current version of a game would definitely help to make a more informed purchase.

What I don't get (and don't think it's called for) is the overall tone of the OP.

I kind of have to agree with the OP that it should be easy/easier to see which version the games are at. <nudges the GOG website designers>

Well, most games on GOG actually do have a changelog. But it`s true that you only can see it after buying. But then again, there is the forum. If you kindly ask, most people are willing to share their wisdom about the changelog and might even copy and paste it for you to read!
So please, don`t complain, einfach mal freundlich nachfragen!!!! :-)

The changelogs for all the games that have them are accessible via MaGog, regardless of whether you own the game or not. Here is a link for all the games that do have a changelog.

P.S. The link to the changelog is the last line on the Downloadable Files row.

P.P.S. Regardless, you still make a valid point. I just thought you might want to know that there is an alternative.

I quite enjoy reading anti-GOG speeches actually.

Well, sometimes they can be fun. In this case it`s some kind of a serious issue, but OP did use way to harsh words.
By the way: Interesting that an AI does complain about such an issue. :D

Really? You crazy person.
Every time there's a new game such as ANNO 1404 for example; you'll notice johnathanamz (probably not spelt right) make a lovely thread about how GOG has fallen off its promise wagon and so on.
I always make the stupid mistake of engaging.
To cut it short - I don't enjoy them one bit lol.

The OP wants to see version for every title he/she has not purchased yet, though.
