DoctorGOGgles: Wow this unbundling is a mess!

I've noticed that there's no original EGA version of "Quest for Glory". I only have "Quest for Glory (VGA Remake)" in my library. The EGA version isn't listed as a bonus either.
If you download the setup it is named setup_quest_for_glory_vga_2.1.0.33.exe
Only VGA, no EGA in the filename...
The setup wants to install to \GOG\Quest for Glory (VGA) directory and creates a Quest for Glory (VGA) entry in the start menu. No link to the original EGA version to be found anywhere.

But then, when you launch the game, you finally get a DOS prompt to select between EGA and VGA version.

GOG, what the...?!?! Could you make this any more obscure?

haydenaurion: So now you have to install the VGA version (which I don't like personally) in order to install the EGA version unlike before when you could just install the EGA alone? Baffling.
Maybe they forgot the "un" part of unbundling? :P

Apart from the recently-messed-up Cognition that was unbundled to begin with, I don't see any effects in my library as of yet, not even the Ultima Underworld disaster mentioned above.

Grargar: OK. Casualties reporting:

- Avernum: Complete Saga has been split into Avernum 1, Avernum 2, Avernum 3, Avernum 4, Avernum 5 and Blades of Avernum. Yup, no Avernum 6 to be found. Not cool.
I can unfortunately confirm this bit here. Reports of missing games and missing serials are quite unsettling.

I did that earlier too, but now I'm starting to wish I hadn't

MaxFulvus: I still can't access to my games. Always a 404 error page with a black hole and a sad Theodore ! Am I the only one ? I wrote a ticket to the support, waiting for an answer.
Same thing for me but if you switch back Gog to english langage you'll get access to your games. I wrote a ticket too.

So according to the What Did Just Update thread several things are now missing like for example the Spanish version and serial for Two Worlds 2: http://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_what_did_just_update_thread/post6391

Very very bad.

Also missing are the serials of Heroes of Might and Magic 5, along with its expansion, Hammers of Fate.

It wasn't even necessary for me to make an account refresh. I clicked on Battle Isle Platinum to have a look, the box would refuse to load and after I did a browser refresh (not an account refresh), the games suddenly unbundled.

Beware if you click the "X" above your game list to hide the warning message. I did, and now I can't see my game list anymore ! Filthy bug.

No unbundling on my end with the exception of Alien Breed which happened days ago, but Fallout 1 is now missing from my shelf again. Perhaps a sign that my unbundling is imminent?

I made the same mistake yesterday ! The unbundling process is the worst idea from GOG since the regional pricing :/

To all frenchie Goggers, switch back the langage of GOG.com to english to recover access to your library

I did not have any unbound games so far, but my Fallout suddenly dissapeared. I hope it will be back soon...
