It's Dr Boycott again with another soul searching question.

I use the thread, "What Did Just Update Thread" and gogdb.org to find updates which are not marked as updated. Lately, gogdb.org has had a rash of games being marked "unlisted" or "private", only to return to normal in a short time with no apparent difference. For some games, they can switch back and forth many times in one day.

Does anyone know what this means? At first I assumed it was done so they could make changes and prevent access in the middle of a change, but as far as I can tell, no changes occurred and I can still access "unlisted" and "private" games I own. Perhaps they moved these games to a different physical storage medium, but for users, they appear as they always have.

Not really an earth shattering problem, but it does pique my curiosity and it definitely, surely, absolutely makes looking for updates a royal pain in the ... you know where. These non-changes seem to have corresponded to recent downloading slowness, although that could be explained by other reasons.

As far as I know, gogdb.org didn't really get a fix after the Oct 2018 redesign broke the listing, so all games would appear unlisted, and for one price data isn't gathered anymore. Can see the dedicated thread for those details.
Can try the fork if you want, but I'm not seeing changelogs on game pages there.

PS: On the other hand, the GOG site has been a mess as of yesterday, probably because of the giveaway. Not even GOGbears, but straight 503 (too busy) errors, so a lot of stuff will be messed up because of that.

Ah, OK. Thanks for the info and links. gogdb.org was useful, but unless Yepoleb gets a yearning to work on it again (I can imagine the frustration of maintaining something which goes this and that), gogdb.org has become a bit of a problem finding unflagged updates.

gog seems to becoming more and more of a mess. I almost get the feeling that gog is composed of a few people all doing their own thing, sometimes to everyone's detriment.

If I didn't hate steam so much ...
