Decided to change email because im sick of advertisments in mail. So i decided to change email here. Guess what.. Gog SENT email to yahoo about it.

Yes, big Fank you!

So, you changed your email address, and GOG sent a mail to your old address, informing you of the change? Yes, standard operating procedure, though some people would prefer for the mail to be sent before allowing one to change the email address.

They always send email to old e-mail address to avoid any hacking attempts. This is same everywhere.

Standard procedure is to send an email to the old one, so you can know if somebody else has changed it without your knowledge.

What's the point of sending an email to the new one?

Edit: Ninja'd!!!

Somebody seems to be new to the internet.

Cakeage. I like that word.

I needed a good laugh, thanks!

It`s a security thing. They send the email to your old address to make sure that really you changed the email address and not someone who has hijacked your account.

I know, right? GOG can be such a snitch at times...

Guys, clearly you don't understand. ambient_orange's old email account gained self awareness and was sending sapm to itself to annoy the hell out of orange. Now his old account knows about his knew account there's no telling what it's going to do out of revenge.

I would never dump my yahoo mail. I know I experimented with hotmail that one time, but it meant nothing to me.
