I'd like to ask you all, what's your favorite method to get notified of GOG News?

For now I know the RSS feed. That would be my preferred method, but sadly it mixes up all languages and I get everything 3 times, one for every supported language. Does anyone know how to separate that? I found the issue in the forums, but no solution.

Then I know the News are being posted here in this forum. Obviously I would need a method to get only the articles starting with "NEWS" by RSS or by email or whatever. Yet I see no way to do that.

Then I know the Twitter feed. But there are not only News posts, but also numerous reminders and stuff, so update frequency is to high there, too. I'd need only the essential stuff once.

I did expect that there would be some "News email subscription" thing, but yet I couldn't find any. Maybe I'm blind, dunno ;)

So do you know any other methods? I still hope to find one where I'm not that much affected from it's downsides (that every method always has).

I don't need an RSS or e-mails, they're simply too slow. I know GOG weekly schedule and I always keep forums opened in a browser tab. I'm an addict lurker I suppose. ;>

What url are you using for the RSS feed? I only get the English news, though I had the occasional French one, but no German so far. According to Outlook, I'm using http://www.gog.com/frontpage/rss as the feed. See if that fixes your problems.

RSS usually updates a minute after the hour, and quite often before the front page has time to refresh.

Well that was a hint worth a million. I was using http://www.gog.com/news/feed up to now and will switch over immediately. Thanks a lot!

While that fixes my problem, I'm still curious if somebody uses another method :)
