I feel like either I'm really missing something here or the pro-guest account people are. Don't you have to sign up to buy games off GOG? And therefore if you want to ask anything about the stuff you've bought off GOG, you'll have an account since you needed one in the first place to have bought a game? And therefore the only reason for Guest accounts is for anonymous trolling and for people who haven't bought any GOG games to post - arguably somewhat pointlessly.

It was also used in the past by users who didn't want to have their posts merged when adding something to a thread in which they were the last person to reply.

Thankfully, however, we don't need that trick anymore, as the merging is now only done if you make a new post immediately after the previous one (a couple of minutes of time span).

Well, I really don't care about this issue because making an account to post just makes sense to me, but plenty of people have questions about products before purchasing. Especially with non-physical goods. Does ___ problem still exist?, Is this the censored version?, etc...

You need to make an account to purchase, but you don't need to purchase to make an account. I do understand that position however, I'd prefer to not register if I doubt I'll ever use the account.
