fables22: By saying "the OSTs" I thought I made it clear that I still refer to the two in question. [...]

HypersomniacLive: Thanks for making this absolutely clear.

fables22: [...] As for inconsistency - it's not hard to be consistent if you are the one making all the decisions. But you'll probably know for yourself that that's very often not the case in real life. All you can do is try and do your best with what's handed to you :)

HypersomniacLive: True, yet sometimes you need to try a bit harder. Take, for example, the mess the unbundling has caused in regards to naming the unbundled titles, and how that spread a number of collections all over one's library. Quite a few good, and not hard to implement, suggestions were made by users as to how to fix that, but as far as I can tell, they not only haven't been adopted, but we don't even know if they've been taken into consideration, and it's just a matter of it being #10,158 on GOG's TO DO list.
That's a fair point. Amongst all of the urgent and "things will blow up if this doesn't get fixed" stuff, a lot of community feedback gets pushed down on the list, which is a great shame. I'm hoping we can improve this, though. I'll take a note of what you're saying and pass it onto the relevant team, but that's all I can do.

I know that's all you can do, and appreciate that you will, but I hope you won't hold it against me if I don't hold my breath.

Oh no, even I don't know if it'll get higher up on the priority list. But I will try.

Just an update on the situation - everyone, who has the two games with the OSTs should have the separate OSTs in their library by 12 AM CET. Please if anyone notices that their game hasn't been automatically added, do let me know in this thread. Thanks!

I personally don't pay much attention to OSTs when they are free, but... do you think people would buy them separately, as DLCs ?... :-| ... odd move from the developper.
Well ; at least (if I am not mistaken ?) we will keep them as a separate file on our shelves, right ? [edit : nevermind, just saw the answer above :-)]... that's something ; and it's always nice to be warned before it's effective indeed.
I still have a question : what about the games we bought before that change was decided, and which are not redeemed yet ? (I own a whole BROKEN SWORD bundle, and haven't found it a home yet...)

That is a good question. Let me check with product and get back to you on this.

EDIT: Just checked with product and they say that you should still have the OST, yes. The auto-redeem is based on whether or not you own the game, not whether or not it's been downloaded yet. So going by that, it'll be added to your library just like it would if you had downloaded the game already.

You mean, not (only) to listen to our constant laments ?! :-O
Yay ! where is the suggestion box...
So :
I vouch for the return of the (real) Insomnia sales !
and for the deletion of the forums (useless and flawed) "reputation" system...
And for some effective sanctions against the scammers, trolls... and other trouble makers, who made this formerly cool place a total mess...
Thank you, Santa !! ;-P

I got a little freaked out for a bit when I received an email titled "Your order #XXXXXXXXX is complete!" First reaction was, OMG someones stolen my identity.

Opened the email and found that I was charged $0 for a soundtrack. Glad I decided to take a quick look on the forum to see what was up. lol.

We have another thread for all this, I believe, but OK. Your feedback isn't anything out of the ordinary, so upvoting it on my "things to fight for" list!

Hey, pheeew, must've been a shock! We tried to give enough of a heads up to reach as many existing owners of the game, but someone always ends up surprised.

That'll teach me for not keeping up to date with all the news on GOG!

I was extremely confused as to why I was suddenly receiving an order notification in my email for an order that I never made -- now I know. :-)

Indeed. Glad I read this thread first, or the e-mail this morning would have made me think someone was buying free stuff from my account. How dare they!

Yea! I was fighting for getting even more time prior to the auto-redeem happening, but a day and a bit was all I could be given. Hopefully there won't be too many freak outs :D
