I just tell mine, that the games are for my mental health and save us thousands on treatment.

But if I suddenly disappear, you can probably guess she found me too expensive to keep alive.

I've got 46 hidden, 132 in "My collection".
Hidden games are a mixture of games I'm probably never going to play and others I might eventually play and which then could be transferred to "My collection". Also hid some games which I've played, but which I disliked so much I don't want them in my main collection (e.g. "Desperados wanted dead or alive" is just bad imo, played ten missions of it, but then was done, don't want to see it in my collection).
So "My collection" is mostly for games I've played at least a substantial part of and which I'm fond enough of to regard them as part of my main collection.

35 "games" (and 0 movies) hidden. Like a lot of people, I hide all goodie packs (21 to date). I hide all demos (including "prologues" and the like) eventually, whether or not I've played or downloaded them yet (9 total). Edit before posting: There's actually one demo that I haven't hidden, even though I also own the full game (base) game: Hellpoint: The Thespian Feast. Supposedly, it's altered enough from the part of the game it was excerpted from that it might be worth playing in addition to (and after!) the main game (which I also haven't tried yet), rather than just as a playable chunk of that game for people who don't yet own it.
The only full games that I've hidden are ones that I got for free somehow, but which I judged I will almost certainly never have any interest in even trying (5 so far).

The only "not a game" entry in my GOG game library which I haven't hidden is the Hotline Miami 2 digital comics, and only because 1) it is at least software, and not just loose media files, and 2) I still intend to check it out at some point, and would be more likely to forget about it if I hid it.

I only hide goodie packs (22 so far) because I only want to see full games on my virtual shelves. Besides, they're easy to find because you can choose to see hidden item or, if you use key words, the system shows the message "We've found some results among your hidden products. Show them".

There is a hidden item in my library but I can't see what it is.
Does anyone has that?

technically still there but it's too hidden indeedy,
edit: recreated the result with tags filters, yours is more interesting ^

Pretty much the same as others said: I don't hide anything, even games I really didn't like, exception made for demos and goodie packs.

How many games do you have and... when will you buy your next game? :)

Are you retired by any chance? :-)

I used to tweak my own fork of gogrepo and had plans for improvements in this and other regards.
But I had to accept that it wasn't the right prioritisation of my spare time, so I just use Kalanyr's version now (or cherry-picked his required fixes - can't recall which it is), and haven't even kept up with whatever enhancements beyond the basics he might have included.
Now, what little time I have for hobby coding focuses on game development. Both because it's fun and relaxing, and because I'm then in a better position to support my son's attempts in that direction.
I've coded for a living for over three decades, but game dev is a new area for me.

Ack!
Looking at your profile, I see 2675 games. Mine says 562 games, including the 143 hidden entries (which were all freebies), but looking at my order history I think it adds up to just under €1200.
€16000? That's ... impressive. Are you sure its in that ballpark?

I wasn't, but thanks to this thread now im!
It does help to organize it a lot.
Even when using external tools like lgogdownloader.

So.. thanks!

51 Hidden out of 381 total.

Honestly don't see why they even allow us to "Purchase" the demos, prologues, and stuff like that. They aren't actual games anyways, they are demos.

If they just removed the purchase option and added a new section for "Demos" and gave links to it on the respective games main page, that would make the whole thing a lot user friendly and easier to organize.

They would also need to purge the demos from our libraries.

Also wished they would count the Amazon gaming codes as actually having the game, sucks seeing games you already own for sale like you don't own it and having to do a double check to ensure you actually own it. Kinda makes that "Hide games you already own" at LOT less useful.

I have the same list of hidden ones, except for the first two, and a few more, mostly goodies packs. ^_^

2675 games at the moment. I found out the amount of money I've spent on GOG games over the years with that certain web browser script that someone presented here, which collects that data from your orders page I believe.

The last time I bought a game (on GOG or elsewhere) was in Oct 16 2024. It was Atlas Fallen: Reign Of Sand + DLC.

I've vowed not to buy another game (anywhere, even on GOG) until I've found a new tenant to my apartment I am renting out. That is good incentive to find a new tenant soon, even better than the fact I am losing about 600€/month for not renting it out.

I found it out with some web script that someone released here. I think it collects that data from your orders page.

I was at first quite surprised when I saw the number... but then realized it is over 13 years, after all. Heck, I've probably spent more money on cigarettes over 13 years... and I don't even smoke! Just handing them out to poor kids on the streets.

Also considering, if you divide 16000/2675, that is less than 6€ per game. I feel like a cheapskate now, actually.

One has to put his money somewhere, so I guess this is my spending habit. Where else would I spend all this income, 16000€ in 13 years? Hookers?

I swear, I have never paid for sex! There's now a bunch of angry hookers looking for me, demanding their money.
