Good points, and I understand the possibility of hijacking with the new feature. But what about yourself, being an older member and knowing about many security vulnerabilities, instead of pointing out the bad track record you could as well bring out some things they got right.

They still managed to keep this place quiet safe for a lot when I would expected, from the time I came to this place. Even before the registration I also wasn't sure If i wanna trust them.

And one question: Are you gonna use GoG for game purchases in the future?

It's a nice feature, although I don't need it. But I am disappointed that credit related to the Fair price package will still expire, it could have been the opportunity to change that :(

It won't expire if you combine it with purchased funds.

*clicks on the €90.00 button* ;)

LOL!!!

Add to the list:

* can't make the account ORDERS HISTORY section actually display all of the pages of your order history without puking server errors that nobody has nor likely ever will fix or seem to even care about.

Oh I totally forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me :D
"Fun" times ;-)

The only thing I can think of that they got right (system-wise), which relates to this, is not storing card details (which this undermines).. other than that, if someone did lose money from their GOG wallet for whatever reason (and noticed..), I know GOG would set them right, based on their past record of doing so (see: Botinacula, which wasn't even their fault).

Yes, I'm still on my quest to own the entire (game) catalogue (I'm at about 1400/1700 or 82% according to Magog).

At first, when I purchased games here it was to support both DRM-free games and support GOG. Over time, the latter has dwindled but the former is just as strong as ever. GOG would have to start being malicious for me to stop buying here.

EDIT: Added note that the Botinacula thing wasn't even GOG's fault, but they still "put it right".

EDIT #2: The news post from GOG regarding Botinacula, which, amusingly, has a broken "SEE COMMENTS" button due to the archiving. Forum topic is here.

I don't know why some of you complain about this.

It is like Gamersgate's bluecoins or Steam wallet credit...

This feature allows that people like me, who can not spend 50 or 60U$D for a game, to save smaller amounts (like 25U$D ) per month in this virtual wallet, so at the end of the year the final amount of money in the GOG wallet will be 100 U$D...

With 100 U$D in the GOG Wallet, I can buy any AAA game released on the store...

Now, make a deal with PayU, so I can pay with argentinan cash through Rapipago or Pagofacil.

Since GOG is based out of Cyprus some people have significant trouble with credit cards being denied or triggering fraud flags. That seems have gotten better but it's still just bad luck and happens more with multiple short transactions, i.e. in sales when people really want to get the game right now.

Also avoiding high conversion fees by only paying the fee for one transactions.
Part of what kept GOG safe was that they didn't store any money. Remember, Steam hacking didn't become a huge business until Steam Wallet started either. Now that GOG is storing people's money, it's a much bigger target. They really need to be sure of their security.

I'll still purchase from GOG but I don't see myself using the wallet feature any time soon.

That said, I know a lot of people really do want this and have asked for it. I can see how it would be useful if your bank has problems with GOG transactions or you want to avoid transaction fees, for example. But for me the potential cost doesn't outweigh the benefits because I haven't run into those problems much.

Thank you for response, I appreciate for taking your time and pointing many things I didn't know or not that I wanted to be more informed about a company I'm dealing with. Now i'll definitely look more closely to what is happening here.

As you pointed out, I also love to support the DRM-free games and with that being said buying from here we still kinda support GoG no matter what, we want this or not.

So I'm gonna stay here for a while and hope that they'll provide great service and great deals in the foreseeable future.

I do. :) Gog's customer base is large enough that the forum user base is large enough that GOG could literally develop a cure for all known diseases and how to resolve world hunger permanently and stomp out poverty worldwide - and there would still be people that found something to complain about it or find a way to put a spin on it that GOG is evil for what they did, or even something like "WTF GOG? You have all the time and resources in the world to solve world hunger, poverty and cure all diseases but you don't have enough time or manpower to fix the forums?"

Those of you who are laughing now are doing so because you know I am right. :) Those of you who are not laughing now, are not laughing because you are the ones that would be saying that and are taking it personal knowing I am talking about you. :)

I'm going to wait for the Wallet Of The Year Edition with all the DLCs included and the OST.

"GOG Wallet funds provided by us as ‘Free Wallet’ (e.g. in relation to our Fair Price Package): one year expiry date"
"As mentioned above, GOG Wallet funds themselves are not refundable."

= I don't care about GOG Wallet for me there is no difference between this and the old Fair Price Package.

If you introduce this for Gwent microtransitions this is not good at all. that pay2win, not-drm-free game have no place in gog.

Yes. And since it's negative european rates, you lose money every month. :)

I hope Gwent has microtransitions! After playing No Man's Sky with its painfully slow macrotransitions that lock up the entire user interface for 30 seconds every time some insignificant event happens or during dialogue etc., I greatly welcome microtransitions as I'm impatient!

Just the interest of hackers trying to steal your account. :)
