The Community Wishlist is one of the things that makes GOG.com tick, because no matter what, we're always working hard to listen and deliver. Whether it's games, website features, or GOG Galaxy development - the Community Wishlist is always the first place we look, and it's proven time and time again to be our favorite bargaining chip on the quest for new games and a better GOG.com. With just a tad over one million wishlist votes fulfilled, we want to take this opportunity to look at just a few of the wishes we got to take on.





Out of all the games in the world, several stand out as most highly requested. <span class="bold">System Shock 2</span> at 36,000 votes was one of our first major conquests - this is the game that really paved way for the most fantastic retro releases and, back when we needed it most, showed how much demand and excitement there can still be for the classics. Who knows, perhaps there is more legendary horror lurking right around the corner, hackers.
<span class="bold">The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind</span> at 25,000 votes just joined our gang alongside the earlier Elder Scrolls titles and more Bethesda goodness - but that's not all the wishlisted games, not by a long shot. With your help we checked off the <span class="bold">X-Wing</span> and <span class="bold">TIE Fighter</span> series, <span class="bold">DOOM</span> & <span class="bold">Quake</span>, <span class="bold">Sam &amp; Max Hit The Road</span> and way, way more.





Bit by bit, we're improving GOG.com - adding new features, and changing things up. Across the years we've added and [url=https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/add_linux_versions_of_games]Linux support (and then changed the Linux icon) to your games, introduced little things like update notifications, [url=https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/change_log_in_game_library] change-logs, and the ability to mark your games as completed (and many other tags). The community wishlist was also one of the many reasons we began working on GOG Galaxy.





There's still a lot of work ahead of us, and there are a ton of things in progress: we're still hunting for more, and more, and more classics, we're working on making GOG Galaxy the best gaming client you've ever used, and we're still actively seeking a specialist who can hook us up with some more time (a few hours per day would be nice) to do all that. All of this, while we continue to be a DRM-free store today, tomorrow, and forever!





The community wishlist is a great way for you to keep us aware of your needs, and it's an equally powerful tool for us to react, and to prioritise the future. So if there's a game you've always wanted, a great idea for the site, or something that's been bugging you for ages - don't hesitate, make a wish or cast your vote. It might just become our next big project.

hedwards: It's probably not an obvious point, but having been here since the beginning, it troubles me the way they've mismanaged it. There were always going to be growing pains, but they didn't need to be so significant.

The forum now is crap. 4 or 5 years ago it was awesome, but the amount of trolling and the complete lack of consequences is killing the forum.
Hmmm, maybe I haven't spent as much time in the forums as you have then, as it's obvious looking at both our start dates/post counts...

But yeah, for what I've seen it's been quite civil in comparison to most forums that I've frrequented, (On the surface anyways) but no, I haven't spent as much time here on the forums. I suppose most on this thread (Myself included) tend to do mostly shopping and only frequent a specific game's forums, so maybe that contributes to the reason why it's not a major sticking point for me...

I'll have to become more aquainted with these forums then, to see it for myself as well before I can fully commit to an opinion on how this site has been managed outside of sales.

Congratulations.
Did I just get a hint at a possible System Shock 1 re-release?

hedwards: GOG hasn't really changed things for newer games.
It takes time for GOG to grow its marketshare and thus really have a shot at changing the industry. So give it time.

avatar
hedwards: My favorite solution was to have a sister site that specialized in newer games that are just DRM free.
Why start a new infrastructure, a new name, a new everything from the ground when you can easily use the already successful-proven existing assets, name, portofolio, image, marketshare etc?
That would have been a really dumb move and I'm really glad they never made it and they probably never will, seeing as it is non-commercially-viable, it makes no-sense whatsoever from a business pov.

avatar
hedwards: It would have allowed them to grow in a way that made sense.
The way that is happening right now, aka the way that you don't like, makes total sense to me.
Sure, there are some things that need corrections, improvements, etc but the main direction is what matters and imo it's a correct one.

avatar
hedwards: You wouldn't have the clashing interests of the newer gamers and the older gamers.
Why is there a "clashing interest" of the newer and older games? Really? :0

avatar
hedwards: The communities could largely ignore each other.
Why would they do that??? Really? :0

avatar
hedwards: I'm not even sure what the name is now.
The current name is GOG.com but I couldn't care less what their name was/is as long as they fulfill my need of DRM-free games.

avatar
hedwards: The forum now is crap. 4 or 5 years ago it was awesome, but the amount of trolling and the complete lack of consequences is killing the forum.
Well I'm 5 years gog-old and imo the current state of the forums is definitely not crap nor dead. Sure, I didn't have a constant presence and yes I probably didn't saw some things but come'on, it's far from crap or dead.
You'll have to drop this "elitist" position of yours and learn to change and make your own peace with the fact that GOG.com will bring more and more DRM-free new(er) games, indies, etc and this will attract lots of new clients from which some of them will also use the forums aswell.

Yes, I'm reading it the same :)

takezodunmer2005: What!? Where!? *Frantically searches site!*

...Oh damn you with the Illuminati reference!...Damn you to hades!

Even though I already have the abandonware version, I'll still be one of the first to snag the gog version in a nano second!
OMG!!! I'm beginning to think he's right!

There are signs that System Shock 1 may actually be making an appearance soon. Likely both GOG and Steam. If the pattern holds from SS2, it will probably show up on GOG first. The signs are there. Now to wait and see.
Thank you, my favourite digital retailer, and to more multos annos!
I joined recently, oldest purchase is just 3.5 months ago, but I already have 20+ games here for a little over 200 euro. I like this place. Glad you started adding newer games aswell. One day linux Galaxy would be welcome to keep all the new games patched automatically. But for now I have no wishes, just backlog. Congratulations on your milestone.

SCRRREEEEEEEE!!!!
*Does a truly idiotic and highly uncoordinated "happy dance" trips on his own feet and abruptly falls on his ass!
Congratulations and keep up the good work, GOG!
Thank you for providing an alternative to Steam that is not only viable but AWESOME.

moonshineshadow: I just wish they would increase the number of tags... 50 is just not enough for sorting at least the first page :P
Well, I would be content if they just sorted the games under one tag alphabetically (after they've fixed the names of the games in a series).
The way it is implemented now I often have to use multiple tabs for one game series because GOG often places the last game in a series between the second and the first game.
50 tags are enough for me atm.

Yeah!! That's amazing. Got to keep this giant snowball rolling and growing!
Honestly I don't know how I feel about this.

What I do know, as someone that has been with GOG for more than 6 yeas and that has purchased more than 220 games (usually at full price), is that GOG usually fails in the customer relations area.

Maybe it's because they are based in Poland and not the US, so business wise they have a less developed sensibility to customer needs.

The fact that they boast about 'fulfilling' our wishes' only serves to annoy me.

Yeah the problem with the series is really annoying. That is why I need so many tags. So yeah if they fix the series problem (which they had promised when they implemented these library changes) there would be no need for an increase of tags.

I agree, they are terrible at it.
Also what they're boasting is factually incorrect and they point it out themselves immediately.

I agree. Unfortunately, they haven't promised that they implement alphabetical sorting within tabs, so we might not profit from that, even if they fix the game names.
