Big changes are here.

My Account is the heart of your GOG.com experience. It's the one place that's 100% yours, and the place you always go to download your games and manage the entire library.
Starting today, your My Account is completely new - remade and redesigned from scratch to better support our growing library of games and many of your biggest requests. Aside from every usability fix we could think of, we've also introduced brand new tools to keep your library organised, and new social features to stay in touch with your friends.

The list of new features is long, but you can see the whole thing on our forums. The most important highlights include:

--Support for friends lists and chat.
--Shared wishlists.
--Advanced filtering and custom tags for your library.
--A new, detailed order history.
--Accessible game changelogs.

We're sure that these new changes will greatly improve your overall user experience on GOG.com, and we can't wait to hear what you think on the wishlist and right here in the comments!

By the way, I hope someone notices that the new account fixed the product_bonus_xxxxx issue :P

eiii: Did you have the Galaxy beta client on your shelf which maybe has been dropped?

It has been dropped from my shelf too and confused me by decreasing my game count by one. Not sure why it has been dropped though.
Because it's in an open beta stage now :)

eiii: You mean partly open beta stage, as your smart server detects that I'm on Linux and removes the download button for it before I'm able to press it? :P
Not sure why other than to perhaps prevent bug reports such as "does not run on Wine" in mantis :)

ReynardFox: STILL waiting to get my uncensored Witcher 2 back.
We're working on a fix for this. I'd rather not give any deadlines which would end up being promises we couldn't keep, but we are on it. Sorry about the delay.

eiii: I'm not sure if they even tested it on a mobile device. The last time I tried to purchase a game on my 7" tablet (during one of the time-limited sales with no desktop PC in reach) I failed miserably. The GUI elements were too large even on the tablet, menus and buttons outside the displayed range, ...

EDIT: OK, those are big letters.

dquadros: This is exactly why I fear GOG is running the risk of doing a BIG mistake. Why do I like DRM free software? Because I can download and store it for future installations, regardless of internet connection, clients or even if the mad french monks shut GOG down again. Once you make it hard to download the installers and force users to rely more and more in the "optional" client that downloads and installs the software in the machine it is running, the user experience will be the same as Steam. The DRM free advantage will be rhetorical and invisible in "normal" use.

I hope GOG takes notice of this risk and simplifies the access to installers download. I may even install their client if it supports download in as easy, fast and flexible way as the GOG downloader used to be.
In Galaxy go to "More" --> "Download extras" and there's your stuff :)

dquadros: Before anything, thanks for replying. The key point in my rant is "take notice", and you did.

Yes, I know that there is a download option in the client. But, from what I've read here, it is not as easy, fast and flexible as the good old gog downloader (that is still available, by the way, but I lot more inconvenient to use).
The client is still evolving so what may feel cumbersome to some people one day may be made easier another due to feedback given :)

For me, personally, it works great and doesn't suffer from the constant "broken chunk 01 see Support" issue the Downloader had but to each his own :)

mvscot: And outside of Galaxy...? The new account system makes this a pain in the posterior.

And in Galaxy, it wants to re-download 700GB of stuff I already have, even though I configured it to save to the location of my existing installers. Without a pause button!

Please get your act together.
Outside of Galaxy, just click on the game box once and all the downloadable items show up right away :)
