... two simple things it could use:

1. It would be nice to have a flag on the store page of games you already own on GOG. Steam has this. They also have flags to tell you if the game is in your cart already, or on your wishlist.

2. Once a game is in your Library, it would be nice to have a button that can take you right back to the store page. Lots of times I want to go back and read up on a game before deciding to install something. Right now (unless I'm missing something) I have to go to the store page and search. A simple button would be very helpful.

OH... one more thing!

A check mark or something to let you know if DLC is installed. I'm not sure if my Witcher 3 DLCs are installed or not.

1, GOG normally does that just due to the heavy traffic they experiance during big sales they disable that and other features to lighten the load. After this sale is over the store will make what you own and don't like normal.

2. that's not a bad idea.
Oh... thanks on #1. Didn't realize that.

There's a link to the store page under the "More" dropdown list when you click a game. Not as convenient as it was before, but at least it's still there.

Correct,Mr or Mrs or Ms Fixer:-)
Actually, I found the DLC check boxes in the "more" dropdown menu, and now TW3 is all updated. But I still see no link to the store page.

there is no way to check the game's store page from the game page in the client right now.
Any chance of this happening in a (near) future update. It's seriously annoying that it doesn't exist. It "seems" like it would be an easy fix. Of course, I'm no friggin' programmer.

Don't take this as passive-aggressive; it's just the relaxed voice of experience. Hoping for GOG to make quick changes of any substance will only cause you disappointment. Expect progress to be slow, and when it is not, be happy that you didn't have to wait as long. Because much of the time, you will have to wait.
I'm not hoping for a quick change. I'd just love to know it's in their suggestion box. I can either "hope" for it to happen by chance... or rather I can "hope" that they have heard my suggestion and will eventually do something about it, which seems slightly more productive.

If you're concerned about it being in the suggestion box, add it:

I've noticed that the games that are not available to check on the store page from the "more" drop down menu, are the ones that were part of bundles before, since they don't really have a store page, but were part of another game.
