I'd like to bring up the issue of the "purchase date" associated to the games in our library.
The current system, associates the date a game was originally purchased from GOG. This is fine when games were bought by ourselves as usually the date they were purchased and the date they were added to our library are identical.
But in the case of gifted games, it makes no sense, plus renders the sorting by "purchase date" useless since it's no guarantee that the most recently acquired games will be listed on top - if sorting by "purchase date" serves another purpose, I'm not aware of it, so please point it out.
The question is - why should a giftee 'care' what date the gifter purchased a gift that was given to them? It may make perfect sense for the gifter (and their Gift tab), but it makes no sense for the giftee to have their games sorted according to the date their gifter(s) purchased them. What does make sense is for any giftee to be able to keep track of when a game was added to their library.
A feature should be useful, otherwise there's no point in offering it. So, I'd like to request for the previous sorting by "purchase date' system to return.
