Ancient-Red-Dragon: This is dire news.
Ruining the site for the 10th Anniversary was a really, really, really terrible idea.
Yet a simple solution was and is still available: roll it back to it's pre-10th anniversary state.
I really hope GOG starts fixing its issues and and stops making & implementing horrible decisions like its site 'redesign.'
It would really suck if GOG goes away.

GOG has been bleeding money the ENTIRETY of 2018
Stuff was bad BEFORE the '10th anniversary'
You want to 'go back' to when GOG was 'bleeding money like a screen door on a submarine'. Sure please explain how losing 500k PLN in Q1-Q3 is 'awesome'
Elmofongo: Easier said then done. 500+ installers to get, and I don't think my PC has enough space to hold them all :P
Starkrun: At 496 folders (games) I have 3,468 files coming in at 1.77 TB of space. I actively archive backup ad update my off-line collection once a week. The biggest worry is (worst case here) if GOG goes down, since were not in the 90's or even early 00's we will never see patches to our games.
But this is still better then Steam, or Greenman or Any of the others... I once had a ton of games from ShinyLoot do you even remember them gone and no way to download... Gamergate i had 248 games from them mainly from a single publisher and they left no more form them... thankfully I archived them. its a weird world we live in... we must curate our lives... each folder is a game for me to cheerish and buy storage for and protect. I never know when i wont have it around to be part of my life anymore. And in the end how long will i want to play these games?
This is a nice wakw up call to cheerish what i have and not worry so much about what the future will bring. Except i better see that sexy new Grim Dawn Expansion soon!
1) install steam library to external drive
2) there is no step 2
