I only use it to download installers.

Ditch it then. It’s mostly optional anyways.

Same situation. Only other way - to cooperate with friend to play COOP Games.

JakobFel: Okay, so I can understand complaints about bugs or certain features lacking but other than that? Not in the least. The UI is functional, easy to use and looks pretty good. The functionality makes it extremely easy to keep all of your games all together without having to worry about launching a billion platforms just to find your games. It's just a fantastic, optional client that has literally replaced everything else for me. I'm not sure why y'all are complaining because aside from bugs and some lacking features (both of which can be easily improved upon), it's fantastic.

Categories DAMN IT not just everything splattered everywhere!
Use tags, organize your whole library across multiple services. Get reacquainted with your long lost games on your unloved Uplay, Origin, and Epic accounts.

I prefer the old original galaxy. I don't like the dark mode style it has which is inconsistent with how the store looks by the way. The game library also looked better in how games are represented, each game cover had a consistent look where now it looks ghetto, some games have developers and publishers on the cover and some don't,etc

Once again, GOG pushed this 2.0 crap down my throat and installed it forcibly because "LOL who cares about settings".

That said, everything about it is bad. Slow, bloated, ugly as sin, doesn't import my collection settings (hidden titles, my custom tags applied to each title), messy and disorganized.

I just love how it claimed to be "importing my settings" yet sneakily "forgot" to set 2.0's startup at boot to off.

But I'm smarter than that GOG. I always check those preferences when installing a new client. I caught your trickery red-handed.

Let's see if I'm even smarter and decide to uninstall the client completely now...

It also crashes origin game launcher!

So I take it a lot of you are into light themes, eh?

What is it like to be constantly blinded by your UX, anyway?

I wouldn't know, there's this thing called "brightness control" so you can adjust things to your preference, and "light themes" aren't synonymous with "retina burning white at full brightness".

And the acronym is UI, not UX. UX is a sad joke and UX design is a fake hipster job.

I just want to bump this because of the current problems GOG Galaxy is having.

If you know the name of a game you want to buy, you can't access the store search bar without first clicking "All offers" on the bottom left, which causes it to load a whole new page with cover-arts. This takes forever and may be the cause of the lag everyone is having because it probably sucks lots of bandwidth to load all that art.

Once all the cover-arts are loaded, you can type in the search bar for the game you want and then it will load the page for your game and all it's cover-art.

Because having a nice streamlined interface using TEXT wasn't good enough. GOG had to copy Steam and their lousy interface.

IMO you could cut down on a lot of the unnecessary cover-art loading times if you gave the search bar it's own spot at the top of the GOG window that stayed there no matter what tab your on.

Yes I know there is a magnifying glass for a search engine way up at the top left, but that doesn't seem to search the store. It produces results for retro games that you can add to your profile like they're decorative stickers or something.

This is the most ignorant post i've seen on gog my time here. UX and UI are different and both are important.
