I noticed a week or two ago that the "quick search" results (when you search from the info bar search icon) no longer show "In Dev" like they used to. While I despise that the term "Early Access" has become standard even here, I would rather see games clearly labeled as that even in search results than have no equivalent label at all. (To be clear, results on the main catalogue/search page do have the "Early Access" tag when appropriate, based on when a game is labeled as such on its store page.)
The Community Wishlist is now divided into Games, Features, Movies, and Galaxy.

In addition, the GOG Blog got a makeover.

...That division has existed for many years. [Checks the Wayback Machine] ...Since sometime in Spring 2015, after Galaxy officially released, apparently. And even before that, it was already split between the other three categories. As far as I can see, even the page layout hasn't changed much. ;D

... and lost the original publishing dates of posts. And with everything split into categories and even the links at the bottom of posts pointing to the previous / next from that category, going through all recent posts or trying to catch up to the last one you happened to read, who knows when, is tedious for the new posts and basically impossible for the old ones.

It goes to show I don't visit or pay attention to that main wishlist page much. :D I thought it was just the 3 since forever.
Seems like it's not possible to rate a game without writing a review anymore? Couple days ago I tried to rate one, but after reloading page the stars would disappear. I thought it's some usual server hiccup and it will sort out later, but in the following days nothing changed. Now I see that all my past ratings disappeared as well.

What's weirdest, the games I reviewed also don't show ratings, and it seems like I could review them again (didn't try to actually publish anything).

Bug or feature? I mean, I'm pretty sure it's a bug, though I wouldn't mind change like that to limit rating manipulation.

Yeah, being reported, including in its own thread. Must be a bug.
GOG has a new checkout screen (at least for me).

Yes, they're collecting feedback via a form. You should be presented with a link near the end of the checkout process.

It's too buggy for me to trust at the moment (e.g. had to reload three times until the cart item showed up), so I didn't actually make a purchase, and therefore got no feedback link.

P.S. A clever way to ensure mostly positive feedback: anyone who cannot use the new checkout at all (not me), also cannot fill a feedback form.

If it's any consolation, I left deeply negative feedback. On my 17" screen, the use of space is wildly inefficient: only a few games are visible at a time, and then you have to click a 'choose a payment method' button because the payment options now replace the list of games. Perhaps it's intended for people who buy their PC games via their mobiles.

Yep, same spreading of that infectious disease that's pushing mobile design on desktops there too now, with huge target areas for small touchscreens, a lot of wasted space... And indeed, no longer just having the payment options listed directly on the sidebar is likely the worst change, at least at first glance.

... also says at the bottom that by purchasing I confirm I'm in Poland, which must be a mistake, since it obviously sees I'm in Romania according to the prices I'm getting...
