MarkoH01: Fun fact: we are talking about lost sales because customers who filtered by "discounted" won't get to see some of the games that actually ARE discounted.
I think it's actually worse than that.
I use the wishlist for games that I am interested in, but not at full price. I presume that's the most common reason people wishlist items.
I used to religiously check my wishlist, 2-5 times a week. The filter made it easy to quickly find discounted games, and check if the price had fallen to a point where I would purchase the game.
Because the filter is double-broken (it includes 3x as many non-discounted games, AND excludes some truly discounted games) I don't use it at all, and instead manually scan the results. My wishlist is currently 3 pages long, so this involves pagination as well, which makes it more tedious.
I have almost certainly missed sales I would have purchased because of this.
Further, sales in any business are generally used to tempt customers into the store, in the hopes they will buy an unplanned product. I only look at my wishlist once a week now, so that "splurge opportunity" has fallen 2-5x for GOG for me.
It's bewildering that this has festered for so long. I write scientific software supported by massive databases. This isn't rocket science, and the fact it wasn't repaired in a week makes me concerned that GOG has staffing and/or financial problems.
I'm a Linux user, and love GOG, and have zealously used it in favor of Steam. I <am> on Steam as well, though, and their superior support for wine emulation thru Proton as well as a
functional wishlist means I have been building up my wishlist there. It used to have maybe 4 products that weren't available on GOG, I've now added 50+ in the last month.
