With the direction the job market is taking, one day only robots will be able to afford games. GOG will feel really stupid then.

No kidding.
I went to bank few months back, large building that used to be full of staff.
Now it is 3-4 people & a dozen or so automated machines.
Oh & those people... "Hi, how can I help? Oh yes, use that machine over there to do that & buh bye."

Same for post office.

At least mercedes in Germany (think it was them) saw sense.
They realised that the machines doing what humans used to do, took longer to be reseated to do different jobs, so ended up getting people back in to do those.

Well, in the future everyone will have cybernetic implants and essentially be robots, at least partially. CDPR is already aware of this and working on it so to speak. :)

This is so bad, annoying and amateurish.

If you are dealing with brute forcing passwords for certain accounts, how hard is to implement COUNTER of bad guesses?
And maybe show captcha only when users fails to enter password 9+ times?

Or if you are dealing with something worse (ehm DDOS?) there are ways too and capcha won't help you at all.
Fuck this, I log in here like once per month with one click because saved password and now this?

Please, think harder and do something LESS ANNOYING.

Thank you,
your annoyed customer.

In the entire time everyone has been complaining about this new captcha thing, I have been using both Firefox, Chrome and Galaxy to log into GOG every single day on and off all day long, restarting all 3 applications and my entire computer several times. I have yet to see a single captcha from GOG whatsoever.

The only thing I can think of is that the people who are experiencing this and are annoyed by it are deleting their cookies and/or HTML5 localStorage upon browser exit or session end, or they're using the "Private Browsing" or "Incognito" mode of their browser which also deletes cookies when the session ends. I'm not about to test that theory out myself because I'm able to log in to GOG in an ongoing basis right now as I always have without any captcha, but if someone is experiencing this issue I would recommend whitelisting GOG.com and its subdomains to allow cookies and localStorage permanently rather than session based or temporary.

If someone is worried about "being tracked", there are a multitude of ways that modern websites use to track people if they really want to and some of these techniques can not be filtered out with browser addons or refusing cookies etc. anyway (such as image metadata tagging and caching). Any 3rd party tracking/etc. tech can be blocked easily by various browser addons, and cookies are necessary for the site to work. If one is logged into their account, all of the data is present while logged in to be able to track someone between sessions if desired anyway regardless of cookies, so there is really no benefit to blocking cookies on the gog.com domain. It's safe to block 3rd party cookies of course, and that wont interfere with login, but I don't believe there are any anyway.

If someone wants to protect themselves from being tracked reasonably without causing websites to be broken, a combination of Request Policy Continued, NoScript, Privacy Badger, Cookie Monster, and Disconnect can be used with Firefox, or the same or similar addons with Chrome. All of the gog.com domain should be permitted through all of these addons which require explicit permissions be granted, and then things just work. One can still have more highly strict settings on other websites if desired and customize on a site by site basis.

Just a suggestion that I hope some may find useful, who may not have known about such options or used them before. Others may or may not be aware of these options and may not be comfortable or happy to do things this way of course, and that's fine. Enjoy captcha I guess. :)

And the people are less skilled than the ones who used to be there, because they are cheaper and are there to complement the machines, not the other way around.

Stories that were once are now [url=https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22329764.000-the-ai-boss-that-deploys-hong-kongs-subway-engineers/]real.

Quite annoying, but I'm guessing GOG is trying to prevent something other than account cracking (unless it is a slow and low attack or DoS attacks, I'm just not sure what, and I don't expect GOG to come and tell us they are having problems. But it may have something to do with the current promo?

Automatic account prevention, maybe? (Buy lots of cheap, discounted games now, sell codes or accounts later for proffit?)

Thank you for starting this thread! I like the impressive number of responses you have received so far and already have made a request to remove the capture at login a few days ago

Complaining alone will most probably not make it go away but if enough of us vote for a removal...

Clicked my vote 8D

Thanks, voted.

I had a few odd times that the captcha won't appear at all and wont log me in on chrome and it does get annoying, So I am using galaxy as a temp work around till it gets fixed with updates or something.

voted.
i don't like this captchas at all.
gog please remove it!!!

+1 vote from me.

+1 for this.

Personally I login to GOG about 4 times a day and use the 'Secure Login' addon for Firefox which (used to be) very comfortable, now this crap-tcha comes in and makes it frustrating.

As explained quite a few times:

The recaptcha comes up IF YOU delete the cookies. And no add-on will change anything there.

You remove the GOG-cookies, you get the re-captcha.

GOG, please incorporate the GOG bear into the reCaptcha if possible. Maybe add additional as of yet unseen members of GOGbear's family and friends.

Incidentally, I think I speak for more than myself when I say that we would like to see an actual GOG video game, preferably a PC game, but even a GOG website game of a simplistic nature would be ok. Featuring the GOG bear and friends of course, and hopefully with a cameo of Jack Keane as well.
