That's part of the reason I included "didn't want to wait on the art guys" under "could be technical".

Honestly, it doesn't surprise me that GOG would be the place to have that problem. Given the kind of skills it takes to retrofit games with source no longer available, it wouldn't surprise me if there's a bit of a "cracking group with a letter of marque" thread to their corporate culture.

Also Galaxy Client Alpha.

Some other bug-created "interesting" filters:
- gog
- scifiosx
- puzzlelinux

Here's what those three filters gave me in my 132 games collection.

"gog": no results.
"scifiosx": Redneck Rampage, ULTIMA WORLDS OF ADVENTURE 2: MARTIAN DREAMS, Tyrian and Warsow.
"puzzlelinux": Spacechem and Trine 2.

The first will give you the Galaxy Client Alpha and one of the X-Wing games because these two were developed and published by GOG (the latter is obviously a bug).

The second will give you all the games that have a THIRD genre listed as "scifi" and a FIRST non-windows OS listed as "osx" (this is because someone forgot to add a space between the two).

The third will give you all the games that have a THIRD genre listed as "puzzle" and a FIRST non-windows OS listed as "linux" (this is again because someone forgot to add a space between the two).

Not very interesting.

Actually, the "gog" filter just gave me Pillars of Eternity + 2 DLC, and nth else.

Would have to recheck the other two.

So I guess GOG developed or published one more game (which I don't have, so can't check).

Great! I checked that and now my whole library is messed up AGAIN!!!

Seriously GOG, could you please fix that?

Huh, that's really cool- thanks! I don't know how I missed that. I always just used it for title searches.

Jeez, if that mechanism is already there and everything, you'd think it wouldn't take much to add a couple dropdowns to the UI to separate that out into genre/publisher/os/etc filters. It's awesome to have that sort of one-stop-shot for searching there, but for example you have to know to use "role-playing" vs "rpg", etc.

Huh, well while I can agree un-bundling makes sense for Tomb Raider 1+2+3 (because those are 3 different games), I don't see a point of splittting Heroes Chronicles into Heroes Chronicles Chapter 1, 2, 3 ..., 6 or Cossacs 1 into 3 different... Cossacs 1. It just totally clutters and bloats up the shelf, making it longer to load, browse and harder to manage. I wish there was option to turn it off, at least for certain games...

I haven't read all 60+ pages of this discussion, so I apologize if this has been suggested before:

Is it possible to let us create groups on our own shelf, so we can decide which games go together and which ones don't? There could be a download button for each groupo that would start the download for every member of the group. In a way like the iOS groups on the iPhone.

Damn annoying. Even a bonusgame from ZORK is seperated. aaaargh.

'Planetfall'.

How do I go to game pages of unbundled games? When I click on a game, the ability to click the title to go the game page is gone. I don't like it. The unbundle part is good though. I have a lot more games than I thought. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and have a nice day.

Gee...THANKS GOG. Now instead of 430+ games to plough through looking for updates (thanks to the update system that you broke and haven't bothered to fix yet) I now have 540+ games to slog through.

How about spending time on features that users have actually asked for (and no - unbundling wasn't one of them - the one related request came post-change and is to give users the ability to reverse it!) and fixing features that used to work rather than adding options of no use or relevance?

There's clearly time and effort being spent on website changes, yet every one made in recent months has served to make GOG slower, more bloated and more prone to crashing in Firefox (the home page Javascript was crashing Firefox constantly last week, so thank goodness that's fixed). Using it has become a total pain and it makes me wonder if GOG is trying to "fix" the complaints of managing large libraries by making it harder and harder to access them.

Even *posting* here has been a struggle since whoever knocked up GOG's "new post" script seems to have forgotten there are people posting from laptops or netbooks with small screens. Result? The Cancel and Post buttons are not visible at 1024x640 resolution unless you hide Windows' taskbar and disable any browser extension status bar and there's no indicator of this since the window lacks a vertical scrollbar. Did GOG shoot their competent web developers, or do they think everyone is using a 4K monitor these days?

Unbundling Heroes Chronicles was a big mistake...
