@DarkElite99: Agreed, choice should be to the customer! The always "prepatching policy" of GOG leads also with offical patches sometimes to problems one example is DK II prepatched to 1.7 http://www.gog.com/forum/dungeon_keeper_series/dungeon_keeper_ii_version_deiscussion

I do like the idea of this. But some mods are incompatible with the HD patches (Such as the unofficial 1.3.x patch for Fallout 1). I personally prefer to install these on my own, so I don't have to worry about incompatibility.

@fclarkism: "officially" all this games are dead support wise... the best and most official support these games can get are from the user communities or GOG. Also, there seems to be an misunderstanding on "official/unofficial" terminology: Many seems to consider "official" as synonym for "the game like it was intended by the devs" and "unofficial" as synonym for unauthentic game experience. This is formulated in that way not correct . While agree that "mods" introduce often unintended changes, "unofficial/community patches" introduce only adaptions which are in the intended spirit of the original devs. Such patch projects have clear policies on that, and in the end these patches leading to a more authentic and developer intended game than it was before with the last "official" patch. See e.g. Droog's Unofficial Arcanum Patch or Killaps Fallout 2 patch, these patches sharpen and enhance the games in a authentic and developer intended way, by fixing vanilla bugs and making them ready for new hardware (higher resolution, 16:9) and operating systems.

Given how things like Baldur's Gate don't natively support widescreen resolutions, GOG.com should probably at LEAST offer the resolution patcher as one of the extras in the library view for people who might never even consider that one exists.

I just play default res in a window when possible... if you want fan made patches you can go on the interwebs and download them, they don't need to be included in the extras ( particularly because they are not official).

Adding fan-made patches with some nice instalator to the extras would be great!

@Kyonhism: some good reason for this opinion?

Kyonhism

I don't want fan made patches instead of offial versions .

@all: yes, games should not be pre-patched. Steam like update enforcement is evil! ;) So should be added as extra.

Agree as an extra.

I kinda like my games original. maybe provide a link to it instead or as an extra
