mrkgnao: From the Oxford English Dictionary:
Betting. The collective stakes of a number of persons who each stake a sum of money on one of the competitors in some contest, the proceeds being divided among the backers of the winner.

Alternatively, he may be so pleased with the unbundling that he wants to drown someone.

HypersomniacLive: As someone that doesn't bet, I was not aware this meaning, thanks.
I sure hope he doesn't imply anything along the lines of your latter suggestion, I'd hate to have to look over my shoulder from now on.
The most common application of the "pool" term is the "office pool", e.g. a group of co-workers betting on the winner of the FIFA world cup.

Is the unblundling supposed to be finished? I can still see the King's Quest games together even after a refresh.

So far here are the items I'd like fixed/updated:
- Have the ability to download the installer files instead of deleting everything after install
- Have the ability to pause a download (seems to be coming in a future release)
- Have the game names be hyperlinked again
- Have a clear and consistent labelling for the EGA vs. VGA remakes for the Sierra games
- Fix some of the games box covers that seem to be temporary ones

First time I hear this one too (not a football fan).

A "GOG-Galaxy Good News™ pool"?

Ciris: If you have any questions, feel free to ask and we'll do our best to answer them. We’re also awaiting your feedback in terms of how unbundling went for your games - we’ll be following this thread, so keep us informed of any issues!
Have noticed some of the games unbundling on my shelf now and am wondering if you're going to make them all able to link back to the original page. For example Geneforge now has 5 games, but you can't click any names to return to the original page with review etc. like you used to when they were bundled.


Edit - now that I am reading through a few older posts, seems other people have also mentioned the hyperlink issue.

No. The notice about the unbundling is still at the top part of the account. In addition, other games haven't been unbundled yet.

Ah I should've noticed that, silly nearsighted me :-)

Thanks for the confirmation!
So I've spent almost two hours sorting my library, then I searched for a game and after that it was all unsorted again.
Screw this
Well the unbonding of Commandos already took place but this wasn't fixed yet.

Not nice :(

mrkgnao: but frankly I consider this a lost battle (perhaps because I do not use the downloader myself).
may i ask what you use to download your games then? More importantly, how do you compare your local version to the GOG version with out it?
Is there a list of what has been unbundled so far? (As I think we're in the middle of the process.)

I'm specifically curious about Ishar Compilation and Incredible Machine Mega Pack, which are the only two from the list I don't have yet. If they haven't been unbundled yet I'd love to grab the original installers today, otherwise no rush.

I think this is the most up-to-date list and it seems you are too late for Ishar and Incredible Machine.

I can confirm that the Ishar Compilation has been unbundled (there are individual downloads for Ishar 1, 2, 3 and Crystals of Arborea)

You're not the only one with this problem, nor is it a new one:

ETA for fix: never.
Thanks Grargar & groundhog42!

EDIT: D'oh. Used your list by mistake, Grargar, as the complete list for comparisons sake yesterday. I didn't realize it was the list of work in progress. I imagine I'm missing others as well...

EDIT2: And the hastbin doc isn't accessible to me. Is there a full list on the forums copied & pasted from the original somewhere?

I just use the plain browser (Firefox in my case).

As for comparing, I don't really need to compare, since MaGog tells me every time a file changes on the GOG server (and I tell everybody else in the "What did just update?" thread (see http://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_what_did_just_update_thread/post6621 for an example)).
