Siilk: Missed my the point or ignoring it intentionaly? Yes, this particular digital store was a good place for my particular needs, as good as any other digital collention management service anyway. Until now, that is, not any more.

Siilk: People know for a fact their pets are very likely to die before them. Not making them less upset whan that happens though.

Siilk: So you want to argue with anything I say just for the sake of arguing, and by mashing unrelated statements together, no less? Good on ya.

Siilk: And now you can't take the hit so just trying to shift the focus from the fact that you in your arrogance bashed YaTEdiGo a couple of posts before for no good reason, eh? So if you have enought time for that, how about *you* doing everyone else here a favour by spending this time on becoming a better human being instead?

Fenixp: No, I'm telling you your point of view was flawed. Look, you threw presumably hundreds of dollars at a store for something they only had as a small feature low on their priority list which never even worked properly for everyone in the first place, and now all you can do is hope it'll come back. And if/when it does, would you honestly continue using it after seeing how easily it can disappear?

Fenixp: Are you comparing... Oh nevermind, you're right, I get it.

Fenixp: No, I'm trying to make you feel better about your hobby. Yes, I'm not very good at it, apprantely.

Fenixp: Look, I'm not going to self-redact because people might be upset by what I have to say on the matter. I'm sorry I rubbed you the wrong way, wasn't my intention - I never realized how many people cared what I think about them.

In the end, my entire argument comes down to what I said in the beginning: Don't rely on a webstore which doesn't have this as their primary focus to keep your game collection in a way you like it. Everything else was an attempt to find a viable alternative for you. Not for you you, for everyone with this issue. (Darkadia is actually neat! The last update was from 2014 tho, and it's another online thing. Oh well.)

Fenixp: Nah, being a terrible human being is one of my best attributes.

Fenixp: You are really not spending time on trying to get a nice feature back, do you really think that the more comments you make on the matter the more likely is GOG staff to turn around? Nah, we're just arguing here by this point. Try to spread the word around about the wishlist entries if you actually want to make at least a little bit of difference, that might help.

Tarnicus: That's fucked. That is as eloquent as I can be on the subject.

YaTEdiGo: ...

Fenixp: At any rate, GOG staff is just not going to read this thread and take you seriously with that approach

Fenixp: Stop being silly, of course I don't work for GOG, I'm trying to help you solve the problem. In my arrogance I thought that, perhaps, you might want a pernament solution. At any rate, GOG staff is just not going to read this thread and take you seriously with that approach, and they are very unlikely to listen to your wallet either as long as these changes bring them more net income than what they lose. However, if they see in their own voting system "Hey, 2000 people might be inclined to spend more money here if we return that feature!", they might just react. You might even drop a message to support (one message) that you're dissatisfied and why have you stopped purchasing games (and actually stop purchasing games, otherwise your words would sound quite hollow)

YaTEdiGo: You should be surprised about how not hollow my words are. Bolded between so many quotations to make them more readable or not, you people have many issues with reading messages you do not want to read, clearly.

P1na: Am I one of those "you people"?

Look, you don't like the new look and you cared a lot about the old one. I get it. I liked the old one better myself.
You consider this matter important enough to stop shopping on the store. I don't get that. But, do what you want; if you feel that way then stop buying. I won't try to convince you that you shouldn't care about it, and you won't convince me that I should care about it.
We each have our lines that must not be crossed, for you it's the look of the library, for me it's region locking after purchase. That's all there is about it.

For the record, I understand that as the userbase and number of available games increased, micromanagement options and full library in a single page take a lot more resources than they used to and they need to cut down on them. It would have been nice to let the option of changing the number of games per page to a thousand or so for the dozen or so users who really care about it, but whatever. And maybe the new skins will provide a more traditional look to the library.

And just saying, but bolded text doesn't help at all. Quite the contrary, IMO, it makes you look hysteric and makes me want to dismiss your actual arguments. But hey, maybe that's just me. Carry on and prove me wrong.

Good luck reading my words...

tinyE: Right now it's snowing here.

BadDecissions: I do not hate the changes, as some people do. I think the new library looks fine (while also appreciating that GOG has unilaterally changed something that a lot of people cared about, and that the people who are upset certainly have the right to complain about it), and I like that GOG has added tags. I do share some concerns raised in this thread.

1. Galaxy is completely optional! That's supposed to be a huge selling point. But the downloader is hidden pretty well, and is not being maintained. Now my internet connections is crap, and downloading even a 1GB file through my browser is pretty iffy. For something like Witcher, it would be completely impossible. That means that if the downloader ever does cease to function, the client will no longer be "optional" in any meaningful sense of the word. If GOG is genuine about not trying to force Galaxy on people who don't want it, the non-client downloader should be maintained, and prominently displayed. (I am aware that there are downloading tools I could download, but I do not think "Completely optional, although you do have to find and download third-party software if you don't want to use it" is in the spirit of the promise.) *snip*

2. We were explicitly told, in the thread announcing that changes were coming (and in fairness to GOG, that thread certainly happened; you can argue about whether it was sufficient warning, since only forum regulars saw it, but GOG definitely did warn us ahead of time) that series would be together, and sorted chronologically. That has not happened. They did fix some obvious problems (for example, we now longer have some "The Black Mirror" games alphabetized under 'T' and others under 'B'), but when games from the same series (Myst and Riven, for example) start with different letters, they will not be near one another in the catalog. You might say there's no good solution for that; if Riven was put next to Myst, then it would confuse people who were looking for it under 'R'. I say, yes, but there was a good solution; alphabetize Riven under 'R', and let people who wanted to manually move it to be next to Myst. That option has been taken away. The "replacement" option, to find all the games in the series, tag them as 'Myst' or whatever, and then filter by tag whenever you want to see the whole series, is incredibly clunky by comparison.

2b. In fact, even when series are all together, they're often badly ordered. For example, the first Broken Sword game is listed last. This would be a two-second problem to fix with manual sorting; without it, we can only hope that someone in GOG eventually bothers to get around to it. Incidentally, it is especially funny to me that the Broken Sword series has this problem, because Chamb explicitly used it as an example when announcing the upcoming changes: "We will be changing the way that titles from a series are ordered, i.e. Broken Sword should always show up before Broken Sword 2."

3. What's with the private message system only letting you see two lines at a time? It's awkward as hell, and the first private message I sent ended up being "Judas," and only that, because I assumed that pressing the enter key would create a line-break, not send the stupid thing. Also, two out of the three times I've tried to use it, it would not load, and I simply got an eternally spinning circle. The old system may have been "old and weary," as Chamb put it, but it sure never did that.

Fenixp: You basically responded to:
Fenixp: While completely ignoring everything else. Oh well, have fun not being heard I guess, I'm pretty sure that with this approach, you just want to whinge and don't actually want to lift a finger for your message to reach anyone of import. So have fun I suppose ;-) (and no, not buying things is not enough, especially for constantly growing store like GOG.)

Edit: Oh right, I forgot, I'm actually working for GOG and am paraphrasing your every single word to my colleagues here in our office. Hey, Judas, how is it going? Yeah, sorry, I totally forgot I actually work here.

BadDecissions: snip.
