Yes. Logon without saved credentials is working for me again.
I think that very few GOG staff members work on weekends. Seems like things have always been that way.

Anyone know how many people work for gog? I would be amazed if they had more than 20.

Ickis99: You would be surprised how many companies don´t give a damn about renewing their certificates. Even if they are informed multiple times way before.
Tell me about it...
Thank goodness it was cleared up quickly. Was afraid this would be another "weekend issue" that wouldn't be fixed for days. Glad that wasn't the case.

eric5h5: Yeah, the site is working as well as it ever does. No particular issues, aside from the blue dots apparently being broken again.
What are these blue dots people keep referencing?

Considering the fast fix on a weekend, and when there probably still are some lingering CDN issues, wonder if they weren't set to auto-renew after all, but something took a while to kick in or propagate
Does gog not make enough money to exist? /jk
There are even companies that still exist with "red numbers"...

Yet, for most of the companies there can never be "enough profit". GoG is doing okay... i would say a little bit in the green numbers, but it surely is not the big cash cow such as "the rest of CDPR". So naturally they say "CDPRs franchise stuff comes first... and GoG is some small side buisness". There is no reason to worry when it comes to the sheer numbers and in my mind the main culprit is just blunt "Incompetence"... yet they seem to fail getting enough of the employee they need.

Of course, US... the location of Steam/Epic is way more crowded with competent workers for such needs, so they have a advantage here; yet it only can become better for the GoG-environment. Money can only do "so and so much", but without the required people... the power is not endless.

Regarding broken site: Sometimes some posts simply are disappearing, for example on the new Fallout 4 announcement. Well, i slowly get used to it and i better should backup not only my games... the posts too.

In my mind, there can be no game distributor being able to become a cash cow as those entire data-management along with expensive servers is simply not free. Usually it is backed up by some "real income" mother company... in this case CDPR. Epic for example is backing it up with "Unreal 5 Engine" which is the cash cow and some more stuff... else they would be gone already. Steam is probably the only distributor that got so much might that they may be able to become sustainable without "some backer company"... yet it still is not cheap providing a powerful server infrastructure and most the coins is done with the sale of "big franchise-games", about the top 1-5% of all games. The "other games" will barely matter... they are just here in order to give the impression "there is real competition": The truth is... if we wipe out maybe 5% of the most profitable games (and hand them over to GoG only)... Steam may almost become bankrupt... unless they will get a backer at this point. And the "others"... well they already got a backer, yet just as i told; GoG is a bit in the green zone still, so no need to worry.

I got a reply to the aforementioned support ticket 403227 a little over an hour ago.
