djoxyk: if someone takes a week to fix something very minor in complexity it is natural to expect they are not good to create something big from a scratch. I don't believe in miracle. Yes, I have my doubts if they created this new galaxy UI by themselves (considering main selling part - integration plugins that were forked from existing web parsing plugins). maybe they wrote backend by themselves somehow (assuming they put limits on amount of filters and custom covers one can have in their library which screams of noobish approach) but they reused someone's work for integration and it's in plain view. Yes, gog devs are not so good. If they were any good they'd have all integrations created by themselves and kept in main galaxy code.
DerBesserwisser: So as said before you have no clue, but want to state "facts" nonetheless
well, I have a clue, I spoke to gog member Jonny on reddit a while ago about one of galaxy shortcomings. I asked why is it required to sync all of data to their servers if that data does not belong to gog (it's aggregated data from all gaming accounts and gog). I suggested to add an option to avoid sync and keep data locally in some file so user can move that data to their another PC if they need. Just an option to keep your data to yourself. One would imagine it is simple thing to ask, but I was told it would be hard for them to implement.
I believe that gog does not harvest our data on purpose, they still want to keep our privacy intact. Then what does that mean if they can't add that tiny feature? One thing - they are not that good at planning their project (if they have no room to add simple feature) and not good to create something solid. or if you believe they are capable then I should think they're turning into google and hunt for our data from other accounts. what should I pick?
Randalator: It's remarkable, though, how clunky, ugly and outdated Valve managed to make it look despite so many role models. Oh well, at least they're consistent in their design philosophy of having Steam look like an early 2000s mishmash of UIs...
true, that new UI is questionable at best. and it doubled RAM and CPU usage for people with many games. I wonder if they did it on purpose to sabotage galaxy :) imagine you have ubisoft game purchased from steam, only clients will take +1Gb of RAM to run it :)
