Game version history / changes log as of its release date on GOG
A must have feature.
Please God, add version history. Some devs don't update the GOG version as often as other stores and it's very useful to be able to see that the GOG version IS up to date so I can feel comfortable buying it here instead of buying through Steam to make sure a frequently updated game will receive all updates.
Bad reviews combined with that there are no changelogs visible on game store pages can be really discouraging for customers who are looking for new games. Yes, so please show the changelogs.
Please list this information on the game's store page! It is hard enough for people on the fence wanting to stick to their principles and buying DRM free instead of succumbing to the lure of cheaper prices on Steam, but not being able to know whether the updates are, well, up-to-date... this can be a deal-breaker. At the very least tuck it away in a separate tab, "patch history" - actually, this is a better idea. Tuck it away in a separate tab but keep the tab on the game's store page. Makes it easy to reference. I honestly don't want to have to resort to unethical means of obtaining the product just to determine whether GOG has the latest patch or whether I should give up and just buy it on a different platform.
Being unable to see the game version and update log before buying is a downside of the GOG store, one that would be quite easy to fix.
I'd ask for a step further:
Some of us actually have the old hardware sitting around. It would be nice if *all* released versions with changelog (with the DRM removed, of course) were made available.
Would be nice to also have the game/patch version related to the actual downloaded file somewhere as well to make it a little easier to know which patch is which file you need to run.
e.g.
Patch 1.0.17 = patch-game-2.8.10.exe
There is no way to tell when the game was updated. I really hope GOG could includes release / change logs to any game so that I know what games to redownload to better my experience.
And digital signatures and checksums for the downloadable files would be great to have too.
