As you may or may not know, MaGog has been offering (since October 2014) the ability to see (and search) which games are wishlisted by which goglodytes. Until May 2015, this was based on information available on the GOG Wiki (as suggested by Spinorial). With the advent of the New Account system, GOG now allows one to make one's wishlist public, so I would like to harness this new feature to replace the wiki information. Since, unlike the wiki, GOG does not offer a directory of all the public wishlists, I would like to use this thread as such a directory.
So if:
(1) Your GOG wishlist is public (i.e. set to Wishlist can be seen by -> Everyone)
(2) You do not mind MaGog scanning it and collecting its information every six hours
Just post your name in this thread, on the first line of the post followed by an empty line. See post #14 for an example.
If you later change your mind about (1), you can change your wishlist setting to private (or protected) and MaGog will simply be unable to read it. If you later change your mind about (2), you can let me know and I will remove you manually from the scan.
You can have additional text in your post as long as the first line is your name and the second line is empty.

Here are some of the many questions one may answer through this new-old feature. now based on the public wishlists (note: I apologise for GOG messing up the urls and not displaying them as proper links):

If you haven't opted in yet, perhaps now is the time. Or perhaps later. Or perhaps never.
Regardless, this thread will remain active for as long as MaGog does.
===============================================================
P.S. If you change your name (GOG allows it) after opting in, you should probably let me know here, for MaGog will continue attempting to look for your wishlist using your old name, without success.
P.P.S. In case you're wondering what for, do note that when I, for example, have a gift code for a specific game to give away, my first move is to search MaGog to see who has wishlisted it and offer it to one of those listed. I know others have used the same technique. See the Community Giveaway thread for numerous examples.
