Linko90: If that's the case they'll have no problem sticking to the rules :)
I wish GOG would stick to the rules and respect my wishes as explicitly stated by my privacy settings.

I don't like new game pages. On my Full HD laptop all I see after I enter is big picture and price. Then I have to scroll down to get details. Old game pages were much better...

And another drawback - they removed 'Released' filter when browsing catalog.

I see they have now pushed the update to the homepage. Hopefully someone will come up with something to remove the Curated collections section. And replace it with news.

I have to say even though it still had space issues, I prefered the older design.

new design is pile-o-garbage. Its bloated, non-intuitive and pain to use with mouse.
I wounder what s the point of making site look more tablet-friendly (and way less pc-friendly), if this site sells only PC games :/

#bringoldgogback

PS: and also, for some reason, ublock's element picker is broken now on this site, so I cant just remove these "INSTALL GALAXY NAO"/"SUBSCRIBE TO US ON FACEBOOK"/"SCROLL THE WHOLE SCREEN DOWN DUE TO TRAILERS IN HEADER" things :/
PPS: it was really hard to write this feedback and keep it civil. Plz send help

I don't dislike it...I HATE IT!!!
The list of upcoming games is shorten and you cannot expand it...when you click on "show more" you are redirected to the full list of games /:
I love to think my purchase on the long term.
And a lot of Linux build are not available on GOG thanks to Galaxy without Linux client.
I'm tired,I'm going to use Steam mainly now...
I'm very sad because GOG was my DRM free heaven T_T

Oh and...I don't like video jumping on my face!
At least the thing is not auto-play now.

Edit:Thanks for the fix,GOG ^^
It's not perfect but it's better.

Linko90: We're taking feedback on the new design in order to further improve it.
Since you're the community manager, I think it's fair to ask you about this: Why exactly does gog feel the need to make the number of games a user owns public every chance they get?

It's been made abundantly clear that some people don't want that when the user profiles were introduced. And that wasn't too long ago... less than 6 months, I think.

Yet, here you are doing it again. Why? Please explain to me the purpose of displaying the number of games owned next to the reviews and how this somehow outweighs privacy concerns.
I don't mind it myself, I've gotten use to it now. The biggest thing I didn't like was auto-playing videos, which GOG has fixed. Other than that I would like to see DLC moved up higher as it should be placed higher on the page. I also think the goodies section that shows different goodies between game editions is a bit to large and increases the scrolling to much.

What they could do is use a tab type interface, as some of this info is nice to have but not something you necessarily always need to see. So it should be hidden unless I want to view it.

EDIT:

Oh and for the love of god why can't we edit our reviews? You make this much improved review system and leave out the most requested feature. Why?

I think, their point is "if somebody worry about privacy, they wont post on forums or make reviews"

The new home page could definitely do with some tweaking. Not only is it too cluttered and fussy but where is the news section that used to be so easy to find? Now it's just clickable pictures :(

And please give us the option to turn off the animated gifs (or whatever they are) that advertise the new games- they are just a bandwidth suck, distracting and very annoying :(

Yup, can't say that I like anything in new design. Product's page completely lost proportions, it's mix of "big" and "small" elements, leaving impression of mess and lack of taste.

I'm not sure about "verified owner" thing as a good step - there were plenty of users who already played in steam/origin/retail version of the game and gave very detailed and well written reviews. I'm personally afraid that those reviews will be ignored due to the fact that the name is almost "asking" about using it as filter.

But it's good that such persons can still review the game, system present on steam (where you can review only things you own on account) is even worse.

BTW - I've taken a look on first appearance of GOG in GOG's history and I'm surprised how well was looking old "gray & green" mix. Simple, yet aesthethic. I'm sad that GOG went so long way in complete opposite direction.

This is a major concern for me as well. I made a thread about it here.

But this is a ridiculous attitude. Up until yesterday, there were absolutely no privacy concerns involved with making reviews; now they've gone back and retrospectively edited those reviews to make private account information public, with no warning and no way to opt out. It's pretty appalling, especially considering that GOG must be well aware of the privacy concerns given what happened when profiles were first introduced.

Been trying but can't find it for the life of me. Could've sworn it was a post on GOG (Would've been easy with Search or Post History >.<)

What the heck has happened to the front page?

I like new game pages, but new front page is just one big blob of nope. News are now at the very bottom. The only thing that I'd regularly open front page for. Video loading after hovering anything is just bad.

The homepage just got another "update".
The brand new layout is much less informative, and badly integrated with other pages of the website.

I think GOG will not bring back the old pages, but I hope they fix all those bugs of the new layout.
