There's a reporting system now in the Dreamlist, if any of you wish to have a go at correcting the mistakes within. Plus there are still other maladies the reporting system doesn't cover, such as the SimAnt video being nothing but some player using the spider cheat.
Old thread content follows.
----------

Hi, welcome to the GOG Dreamlist issue reporting thread, where we gather reports of various things, including but not limited to:

* Wrong game was given votes during transfer. (Please explain both and be credible.)
* Duplicated games or entries. (Name variants, wrong title for international, language only titles, etc.)
* Non-x86 game entries. (Physical card games, pinball tables, vacuum tube computers, Oric Atmos, TI-88 calculator; not that these are impossible, but feel like they fall outside the line of what GOG aims to do.)
* Games already in the store on the Dreamlist. (Ex, Carmegeddon.)
* Invalid, Redundant, and/or romhacks. This falls under bootlegs, romhacks, and pirate versions. (Street Fighter II: Rainbow Edition, Hummer Team games, Color Dreams games, their legality is questionable at best.)

I will be providing examples of each and their issue accordingly.

Captain Blood: Votes given to wrong title, and wrong title used for intended title. https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/l-arche-du-captain-blood-1988 This is the French title, which is very locale specific.

Draughts: https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/draughts-1952 This is a title for a computer that barely can be considered a computer. Expecting a computerized version of one of the most basic games to man's board from 1952 is a wild ask.

Street Fighter II Pinball: https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/street-fighter-ii-pinball This is a physical machine. While many pinball machines have been digitally collected into things like Zen Penball, one cannot transmit a physical object though the internet, plus the distribution of pinball roms is of dubious legality at best.

Carmageddon: https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/carmageddon We already have this game. It's the Max Damage edition, but I couldn't tell you the difference between the two.

Rainbow Edition: https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/street-fighter-ii-rainbow-edition-1993 This is literally an illegitimate modification of the game that I imagine Capcom would be absolutely discheesed to have on sale.

I mean it's obvious the whole list is auto "scraped" from metadata (MobyGames?) rather than being curated by hand. See the 25,000 votes for Diablo 3 which could expand 10x fold to 250,000 votes and the "All versions require Battle.net DRM and a constant internet connection for all game modes" game still won't be coming to any DRM-Free store in the next 1 million years unless they go back and rewrite half the game's backend to work offline. Other games, eg, Diablo 2, Age of Empires 1-2 classics, etc, also won't be coming here (even though DRM-Free disc versions of those games exist) due to remakeitus.

In that respect, it's probably best to treat the list as a "What I'd like to see here" list rather than any sane / serious catalogue of what's realistically acquirable.

Edit: Some entries don't make sense though. Eg, Prince of Persia (2012) looks like they really mean Prince of Persia (DOS, 1989) but the image of the game has the words "Game Boy" half cropped out and the story is advertising a virtual console hack. (It was also made by Brøderbund not Ubisoft). Replacing that with the 1990 DOS game (that I still have and can confirm it works fine) is probably more sensible than expecting GOG to start selling Game Boy emulators and not get sued by Nintendo...

Also, one of them appears to be the Playstation/Saturn version which once again would be a useless request.

While you make a fair point, someone did suggest this to be a thing, so I went and made it.

There go my dreams to own the first GOG licensed Street Fighter II pinball machine

I honestly don't get all the buzz over this (allegedly) "new and improved" wishlist.
Mind you - that's all this really is.
The old community wishlist.
Under a new moniker.
With upgraded optics.
And (evidently) a bunch of problems - old and new.

I'm currently trying to post a story (on the entry for Operation: Inner Space), and the system is refusing to accept it: I keep being met with the response: "An error has occurred. Please try again later." :/

(My story is well above the reported minimum and a little below the reported maximum character-count, according to the data shown when entering it.)

More visability for whom, and in what way?

Funny, you'd mention that: this year is pretty slow on new releases so far.
Last year to this day (February 9th) we had ~61 releases.
This year we have 30...and so far not a single one in February.

Is there a way to have a Dreamlist wishlist? If there is one, I'm not seeing it. I think it would be a lot easier to keep track of those games than to keep a thousand bookmarks in my browser. :P

That's actually a good question.
I assume, they mean the current presence on the store's main page - which the old community wishlist never had (afaIk).

With this version you can filter by titles that you've voted on, I find. Possible, I suppose. Although I'd be a little surprised if it waited so brief a time for a response before giving up and considering the server unresponsive.

Thanks.
