I understand, the GOG Store is a place to present me what you have on sale.

BUT, not allowing potential customers to quickly filter the increasing number of content in a meaningful way(!) - whatever the user wants - instead having your "date added" and "oldest first" (=what's the difference?! Look at the non-sensical results!) and equaly non-helpful filters (most sold/most popular) but not having:

Highest Price
Lowest Price
Games only (no-DLC)
DLC only
DLC for games you already own

... is a field, you could quickly and easily improve your Store front?

After all, you want to sell things and not having me leave, because I don't want to spend 2 hours browsing through stuff.

Because ... I won't.

Make it happen, if you like money, GOG staff?

gog be goggin'

The store pages already have buttons(on left side) to filter by price range. I don't know about the rest, though.

(You can also filter by game name or parts of a name by typing it in at the top of the page)

While I don't know how to ONLY see DLC, you can use the "Features" filters to only show games; as far as I know, all games are marked with one or both of Single-player and Multi-player, while no DLC is marked with either. Very few games on GOG are only marked with Multi-player (Gwent being one of them), so unless you know that you're looking for such a game, I would suggest filtering for "Single-player" (covering at least 99% of the catalogue).

At least, one can now exclude "DLC" when searching. Progress. Slooooow progress ...

It was not my intention to awake a zombie thread, yet another year has gone and this threads topic is STILL an 'issue', at least for somebody like me (am I really alone in this?), who buys games by weight, in bulk.

It goes like this:

1. Email Inbox: GOG has a new sale
2. Going to the GOG Website
3. Random games and DLC and OST show in random order*
4. After less then 5 seconds, I stop to look at the sale and move on with my life. Yet again, not buying anything from GOG.

I am aware on how to apply the available filters.

This must be intentional? NOT to let potential customers search by "Highest Price", "Lowest Price", "Highest Discount"?!

Yet, only these are the categories, I care about ... and it is that way, I am surpassing 2000 (non-garbage) games and already have over 1000 DLCs bought on Steam.

So, a question - to anyone still reading this:

"What kind of business secret can there be to obfuscate deliberately any attempt of sorting by value, except to intentionally try to 'confuse' the customer, so s/he forgets why s/he has been browsing the sale to begin with?"

Is there any Harvard Business School MBA that can explain to me another reason?

I am old. I follow CNBC and financial news and markets for decades and read books about economy for pleasure. I would not mind, to learn something new, from you, dear forum thread reader.

.. but, please, do not try to help me 'how' to search with the existing filters and also, do not refer me to "GOG Galaxy". Galaxy was the excuse, I remember, that would 'solve' these issues ("it's still beta" was the excuse, then). This is about the web browser store - where most people buy from - and the cryptic mini-game users have to go through, to find what they want; mainly having no ability to quickly browse by price. Thanks.

*) unless you count the current search filters as serving your needs? But, then I have to ask, have you heard of the "Stockholm Syndrome"? Not the movie...

Good questions.

My personal theory is that GOG is still suffering from changing its own policies. Back in the day, there were only two prices for games, and every game was sold as a complete edition, no DLC.

When they changed their pricing from two prices to whatever, and their game packages from complete editions to unlimited amount of DLC, they never thought to fix any search functions after it.

If they would go back to their roots the problem would to a great extent fix itself. I know they won't do that, but at least in theory they could.

Why they don't fix their listing and search functions is a question that no one knows.
