Seems like the solution would be go on a case-by-case basis. For entries that are obviously comprised of completely separate games, like the Tomb Raiders, split them up. No reason to get silly on episodic games, though.

This will mess up my Launch box... Ultima, Wing Commander, and Might and Magic are all in my current setup.. :( Oh well. At least I'll be able to fix that relatively simply. My back up copies shouldn't be too bad either.

Checked my shelf for what might get affected. Doesn't matter for most of the stuff, but I would really rather hold on to the Telltale season boxes, and the situation with Ultima 4 and Ultima 4+5+6 is already a bit odd.

Well, this will be...interesting. It already takes ages for my shelf to fully load. But at the same time I do like the idea of distinct titles with individual updates. I suspect this is a scenario where there is no "best', but merely a selection of "least worst" choices.

I was thinking the same thing. Then again, I read somewhere that they are working on a new game shelf. Hopefully, one of the improvements will be faster loading...

You're right that's really annoying. Having the installers split up would be great, different items on the shelf would be awful.

So Battle Isle will become 4 or 5 entries?

Let's see. From my available games, the following contain more than one games or versions of a game:

-Alien Breed+Tower Assault
-Alone in the Dark
-Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition
-Avernum: The Complete Saga
-Battle Chess Special Edition
-Battle Isle Platinum
-Catacombs Pack
-Commandos Ammo Pack
-Crimsonland
-Dangerous Dave Pack
-Descent 1+2
-DROD 1+2+3
-Duke Nukem 1+2
-Earthworm Jim 1+2
-Incoming+Incoming Forces
-Incredible Machine Mega Pack
-Lands of Lore 1+2
-Leisure Suit Larry: Greatest Hits and Misses!
-Master of Orion 1+2
-MegaRace 1+2
-Might and Magic 6-Pack
-Neighbours From Hell Compilation
-Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD
-Penumbra Collection
-Pinball Gold Pack
-Pirates! Gold Plus
-Quest for Glory 1-5
-Realms of Arkania 1+2
-Redneck Rampage Collection
-Star Control 1+2
-Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2
-Strike Suit Zero
-Stronghold HD
-Stronghold Crusader HD
-Tropico Reloaded
-Ultima 1+2+3
-Ultima 4+5+6
-Wing Commander 1+2
-Wizardry 6+7

I really have a sneaking suspicion that I won't like it.

Sounds good, hope it won't mess my shelf. :p

Except that episodic games are already split up in some cases. Supreme League of Patriots and Cognition for two examples (might be the only two, I'm not sure).

Time to do so some backups, "in case of".....

Glad that you warn us ;)

^this! Appreciate the advanced warning. Of impending doom... dun dun dun... :)

Damned, it just occured to me that the unbundling will destroy my 10% quota. I always try to have at least 10% of games in my library that I successfully completed. Of course there will be some games that I can add to the completed section when GOG is unbundling the packs. But on the other hand there will be a lot of new games from packs that I've never touched so far.

As for several versions, Tie Fighter and X-Wing were separated since release into two packs each, for 1994/1998 and 1993/1998 respectively.
