00063: Been a while, since i last visited GoG.
Switched to Waterfox, and apparently gog works normally now. No login problem, news section shows up, and even those awful autoplay videos don't pop up (or did gog finally remove that feature?). Still think the website looks ugly and not very functional (do i realy need to scroll so much just so i can get to the forum below the game description (since everything appears to be as huge as the last time i visited gog.com) and news are still located at the bottom).
This description is new:
We are GOG.COM, the DMR-free (nice to see this back in the front page) home for a curated selection of games (if by that you mean those useless tiles, that are wasting a lot of space at the front page! I still want gog mixes back). This place was made for gamers (yeah maybe before the 10th anniversary, and galaxy everywhere) so make yourself at home. Explore Galaxy (This isn't something you should advertise, Steam has has a client, Ubisoft has Uplay, pretty sure EA has something (didn't buy an EA game in ages). In short this doesn't make you special, it makes you look like your copy pasting everyone else).
I would still like the old design back, but at least the website works normally now.
They did get rid of the autoplaying, and the whole tiles getting bigger when you hover thing, and made the title always show up again.
Regarding curation, no, they're referring to the fact that they pick what games to add to catalog out of those submitted to them by devs, don't just allow whatever comes.
I'd argue that the by gamers, for gamers thing went away long before the 10th anniversary.
As for the client, that's the point, they're trying to be the same... while still paying some lip service, but little else, to standing out.
