mchack: Hey everyone, Good News: Gifting has been disabled for a huge amount of games now. (currently affected games)
This is really awful. Gog once again reduced me to swearing *sigh*

Yeah, this is freaking lame. If GOG doesn't sort things like this out soon they'll never be able to compete with Steam.

I understood why they blocked gifting of Witcher from Russian region to others, and I could even understand that for other really expensive games, since the price differences are huge. But completely blocking gifting of tons of games. That is unacceptable... and they did not even tell us...

The gift-blocking is frustrating, but the lack of communication is infuriating.

I've gifted and been given quite a few titles from this list. If GOG keeps this up they'll see less and less money from me, both directly (me buying gifts) and indirectly (through people gifting games to me).
Hell, I even have considered giving Witcher 3 to a friend (I had forgotten about the gifting restrictions tbh).

*hugs?* Please?

Really angry with gog at the moment. Despite loving to gift all you wonderful people here I am seriously considering not to buy another gift here... why the heck should I spent money here if gog clearly does not want it...

Exactly, this is a huge list, and just dropping it on us without any communication ... Well, let's just say it doesn't raise my opinion of GOG.

Yeah, I'm starting to feel like that as well. I even somewhat regret getting a GOG key for Shadowrun Hong Kong for my backer's reward - for instance because Steam has had a patch for the game since Friday and it's nowhere in sight here. That sort of thing just doesn't really fly anymore. Not to mention the troubles the installer gave me, finally forcing me to reinstall Galaxy just to get my game. Not cool, GOG.

*extra big return hug* Codes you already have should still work, you just can not buy new ones.
Good afternoon everyone *big hugs and waves* :)
