All my reviews dating back to 2009 disappeared from the site. This happen to anyone else?

I'm hoping they can fix it, if they can't, I won't leave anymore reviews. That's just too frustrating to think that they will just disappear again.

what are the games?

If there are a lot just tell me a couple.

Is this in regards to GoG Mixes? (Which were removed not too long ago...), or were all your reviews on every game scrubbed?

Sorry... I missed your reply. I know that one of them was for Gabriel Knight 3. I had the "most helpful review," and I had it up there like from day 1!

I often reviewed other games I played here, can't remember them all... I probably reviewed the sierra games, police quest I think I reviewed. I probably reviewed the other Gabriel Knight games as well.

Thanks, All of my reviews were scrubbed. Just regular game reviews. I haven't done one in awhile, but I used to do them and I appreciated having that input. People seemed to find them helpful.

Strange. Might want to touch base with Support.

I did. They didn't reply to my email, but I guess there was a couple of replies to this post that I missed. Maybe one of those people is a support guy?

Also, is it strange? Has it happened to anyone else?

Staff have blue text. You'd know if they'd reply. You've also got to realize that most of GOG workers are in Poland so there's a huge timezone difference.

I wonder if they were removing old reviews that seem no longer relevant anymore. Though that doesn't seem like a good idea...

Oh, I think you're giving gog waaaay too much credit. They're bleeding money all over the place already, so I doubt they have the resources/manpower to comb through old reviews.

Like all the other problems on this website, this one is also due to gross incompetence. Reviews going missing is one of the many delightful changes that came with the 10th anniversary site revamp.

At least a third (probably more than half) of my reviews disappeared as well -- including at least two that were voted "most helpful" by the community, namely LSL Reloaded and Hitman: Contracts. Funnily enough, an old review I left for Outlast that went AWOL after I had posted it (and which gog support had been unable to recover) mysteriously appeared when the update went live.

huh, I didn't get the PM. I accepted you request though.

I might put it back, but it's kinda sad because people usually don't dig that deep in reviews and the current most helpful is unlikely to be dethroned at this point.

Aside from that one, it's probably too much work to go back and remember each one. Yes, I read online that many former employees criticized the company and painted a picture of financial uncertainty due to mismanagement. I hope that things are okay enough to keep stuff going. Whatever else is going on, I value the older stuff that they release here.

You don't have to. Nearly all stuff on the internet is based on a database. And with the database you'd first find the reviews you're interested via keywords and SELECT to see if it matches what you want, then either mark it invisible/deleted, or really delete it. It would be only too easy to remove too much.
