It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

TheEnigmaticT: It's a new feature we'll be rolling out in the future for further updates. SR2 was our first test case. As such, if there's anything that you find really horrible about it, let me know and I'll pass your comments along to the devs.
Could you guys maybe someday update the older Dosbox games with newer versions of Dosbox, which are more stable/less buggy/etc, so I/others don't have to manually add the new Dosbox versions to the games I buy? :)

Given that many of the fixes that we came up with for some of the odder games are actually version dependent on DOSBox, and given that DOSBox remains under active development, AND given that we're working at 100% capacity to just release all of the titles that we do every week, I don't think this is very likely at any time in the future.

Okay, good job on the universal patches for the Alan Wake games, quick, easy, and they were at the top of the list, so I knew what to look for and they were easy to spot.

Also, in this case the patches were small.

I still think a fly-out panel "My Most Recently Updated Games" should show you the game boxes of your most recently updated games. You should also be able to dismiss the notification about it in the My Account drop down without losing the information on your game shelf (having the fly out panel would probably solve this). If you re-release a big download some folks may not want to redownload it right away. Keeping the information handy while not having the "New Message" notification would be nice. Or see my point about New Message notifications below (in which case dismissing the New Game notification is probably not needed).

I also suggest a bigger notification on the game shelf, even if it's optional. Maybe a red bandolier across the game picture "UPDATED".

New Message notifications: is there any reason not to color code these with the highest priority message type shown by default. For example:
Orange: New Private Message
Red: New Forum Reply
Green: Game Updated

Orange is highest priority, followed by Red, then Green. That way one can safely ignore contact types they aren't interested in checking out at the moment.

I wonder, do applications have to be available-position specific (example, for the web developer position), or is one able to send an application even if the desired position is not stated as publicly available?

(in this case, one that relates to the testing and packaging of games, and everything else that comes with it)

I don't know that we're currently hiring another build master assistant person thingie, but feel free to submit your application.
By curiosity, was anybody able to download the Alan Wake/American Nightmares universal updates (or even the TR one) using the GoG downloader ? For me it works fine using the browser but not using the downloader (3.1.20 beta )
