The sorting options have not changed with the redesign, with the minor exception of the "Popularity" sort order being renamed "bestselling", and the old "Bestselling" option becoming "bestselling (all time)".

I suspect you mean filtering. Yes, they did remove two or three filters (though honestly, the company filter was no loss, since it was so cumbersome to navigate), and simplified at least one more (one can no longer filter by games that run on a specific Windows OS, for example). They also removed list view, which irritated many.
The thing is, many -- if not most -- of the filters which were removed are still supported: if you know the right "flags" (probably not the right term) to add to the URL, they still work. The only ones I have seen posted about are the filters for release year period (which I'm pretty sure is what you're complaining about having been removed); they are laid out in this post.

EDIT: Jesus. In the time it took me to compose the post, this guy turned out to be a contentious dick. Awesome.

The topic is "how the fuck do i find the good old games on the good old games store". Not "how would someone who doesn't understand the history of Good Ol' Games get butthurt by my use of the GOG abreviation".

Create a seperate thread if you wanna discuss linguistics.
Before you could filter to "pre 2010" "pre 2005" "pre 2000" etc etc. You could also combine that with date added. So you could for example filter for newly released pre 1995 games. Can you still do that?

There is no "Good Old Games Store".

There was, but there isn't any more.

There used to be these things called Shock Tarts and LIKE Soda, and the St. Louis Rams, and an MST3K marathon on TV every Thanksgiving. But alas, they are all gone. I miss them, but they are gone.

I just want to say, this thread is fucking hilarious.

OP is my favourite troll ever.

Look at the link he posted. You can do it by adding the filter to the URL (until GOG ever removes it). There is no built in way to do it on the redesign.

So if you want pre2000 the URL would be: https://www.gog.com/games?page=1&sort=popularity&release=p2000

Try checking the post I just linked to (and that you just quoted). : ]

You're a saint! Any way to make it sort by "date added" or "new releases" so i can find the recently added ones?

Technically HunchBluntley is the saint so thank him...


Anyway by date added would be: https://www.gog.com/games?page=1&sort=date&release=p2000

My bad. To busy fighting of oftopic trolls. Thank you!

How do I get to it? Some BS site called gee-oh-gee-dot-com has been squatting on the URL, what URL does Good Old Games use these days?

Well as much fun as this is I need to head out.

I'm going to go do some web surfing on Netscape while I eat some Fruit Roll-Ups and listen to my 8 Tracks.

What's Netscape? Is it one of those fancy new BBS?

This whole thing seems to be a tad hard for you to understand, but GOG doesn't mean Good Old Games anymore. It did in the past, but GOG.Com has officially said it doesn't mean that anymore. It doesn't matter what it stood for in the past and it doesn't matter if you accept it or not, but the fact stands. Basically, from GOG.COM point of view, GOG doesn't stand for Good Old Games, it is just simply GOG.COM.

As for why don't they release as many old games anymore, that is a tad more difficult to answer. The main reason is, that they've already picked all the low hanging fruits of old games that might actually sell a copy or two. There are a lot of old titles that are in limbo as far the knowledge of proper rights holders goes or their rights have been divided between so many parties, that there's no deal there that would ensure any meaningful income for the rightsholders, in some cases, it would just mean expenses for them. Games like Blade Runner and No One Lives Forever are good examples of games like these.

In some cases, the companies which own the rights are just not willing to release under GOG, like Blizzard as an example, that doesn't want games like Diablo or Warcraft outside their own platform. Valve is another.

Some companies might be suspicious of DRM free model even with older games and aren't keen on publishing in a store that doesn't have any DRM.

Not sure. It came on a bonus disc with the new Beatles album.
