Yesterday it was really bad, now it flies (6,5MB/s). Oh well :)

You seem to be thinking of another website, because "pretty damn good" does not describe GOG's website at all.

Unless you count:

* Allowing users to register with account names that are already taken (lack of test suite)
* Allowing users to execute XSS attacks against nearly everyone who visits the forum (lack of test suite)
* Allowing users to man-in-the-middle/hijack links to pre-2015 topics (lack of decent implementation)
* Games vanishing from people's accounts (lack of database integrity checks)
* Search function [i[still[/i] being broken
* Stuff breaking every time they update the site (lack of test suite)
* Excessively long time to show the login/register dialog (lack of preload/terrible implementation)
* Requires javascript for things that don't actually require javascript (this made the XSS vulnerability particularly bad)
* Having to disable site functionality during sales (you know, like the thing that tells you if you own a game or not)
* isn't even displaying in my browser correctly because it too thin
* not allowing you to make multiple posts at the same time (starting a new post would "take over" your current posting window, losing everything you typed).

as "pretty damn good" things to have your website do or allow. And that's just stuff that is here and breaks/is broken, not to mention all the things it should have, but doesn't (like an active forum topics list).

GOG have a fancy and "kinda works" website and are yet to hire Barefoot_Monkey (to my knowledge) to fix it. It ain't called "Essentials" for nuthin'.

Wow, that's quite a laundry list and all good points!

I guess I've been fortunate enough to only see a few of the bugs noted there. OK, I'll revise my statement, it's an 'adequate' Web site. :)

I'd upvote you, but as I have images disabled and GOG don't alt-text the forum controls, I can't see where it is and I might downvote you by mistake instead.

Another thing for the list :P (I'll upvote you when I get home).

Everything needs more bears.

To be fair, they ARE looking for web developers; but they need to be willing to move to Warsaw. :)

If you want another one, the "On Sale" tab on the first page seems to be listing all the games on GOG, even if they aren't on sale. Because raisins.

Could be worse! Could be Helsinki, or Stockholm! (Yet, many foreigners come here to work as well, in fact I have a couple of Italian colleagues, not to mention people from Spain and Greece.)

I've been once in Warsaw and I found it quite an ok place. I wouldn't mind living there, but then I am not made of sugar, as they say.

And another thing that doesn't work properly: My posts from last 24 hours

I just refreshed and watched it remove "Bad Juju (owner of Desura and Indie Royale) filed for bankruptcy" from the list (last post was 1h ago!), despite it having a more recent post than "Mostly Casual Gamer Needs Friends" (23h ago) and "Did you unlock Xenonauts in the Summer Sale 2015?" (15h ago).

Argh.

It would seem GOG is having one of its random and irregular glitchy fitzes!

I recently saw a car with some company name and slogan that suggested they help companies relocate employees to Sweden, driving around near my city block, with people in it, and the first thing I thought was "Why the hell would people accept relocating to Norrköping? What manner of threats or torture have they experienced so far that this seems a better idea?"
