I remembered there being an option in Galaxy's settings for whether or not to participate in beta testing. Sure enough there was, and though opting out of betas was no doubt the default setting, I know I went through all the settings carefully and made sure everything was exactly as I wanted it, and NOT participating in beta testing was definitely a top priority for me. So, in spite of very explicit settings opting us out of betas, we ended up with 2.0 anyway. The program did something that it was clearly barred from doing in its settings (like some rogue AI breaking the second law of robotics, except clearly there was some human interference.)
It actually takes a good deal of time and effort to contact support and a great deal of emotional labor when we allow ourselves to get upset about these things. For those who don't have that time and effort or have better things to invest it in (certainly there is much more dire stuff going on everywhere,) I'm going to suggest making use of a simple screenshot I made of my settings showing clearly that I opted out of betas with the unchecked box circled in red. If many of us who are displeased with the forced update that gave us the 2.0 beta were to add the larger image to our posts and make the smaller crop of it our avatars, it could serve as supplemental feedback for the GOG team on the forums with minimal effort on our part, as anytime we posted or they encountered one of our older posts, we'd be reminding them of our dissatisfaction. I'd say that initially adding the larger picture to your posts will help contextualize the avatar, as the avatar format doesn't really allow for the full text of the setting, but over time if enough of us use these, the explanation that the larger image provides would become unnecessary.
So, here they are.
