Fever_Discordia: I think people are just being resistant to change for the sake of being resistant to change - imagine if everything was reversed and everything had already been separate and now GOG was in the process of bundling things up - imagine the butt-hurt of people moaning that it was making them seem like they had less games on their shelves or that they'd manually arranged games according to whether they'd completed them or not and they'd finished, say, Tomb Raider 1 and not the other 2 - I think there would be more complains going in that direction, in that weird, parallel reality!

It is somewhat human nature to be resistant to change though too as we're creatures that seek comfort from familiarity and often see change as suspicious at a minimum. Even if we may be inconvenienced (or have the perception of such) by a particular change with something in life, often over time the benefits of change outweigh any temporary drawbacks. As they say, you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. To be honest though I think it is far too early to draw any conclusions about this particular change and I think it is trivial line noise in the big picture grand scheme of things.
With respect to breakage, if half of my game shelf could vanish, have the wrong game name on the wrong box etc. for a week and while I'd prefer it didn't it wouldn't phase me in the slightest, nor would it make me angry or upset with GOG for in my mind they wouldn't purposefully do something like that to irritate me or anyone else, but rather I see such things as unfortunate glitches and growing pains that are temporarily lived and in my eyes are easily forgotten once they've passed by. I know they're working on some major revamps and while I have no idea if I'll like everything they're doing or not I can choose to give them the benefit of doubt and find something I do like about what they are doing and feel good about that, giving constructive feedback to them to help shape things to come, or I can hone in on things I don't like and be upset with them about it and focus on that alone even if they also are doing things I do like, and I can feel miserable, angry, upset or frustrated about it along the way and have a worse experience.
I know I'm not going to love every single thing they do because they aren't catering everything they do to me exclusively, so there will always be something I don't like and if I just focus on that I will never be happy and always be upset with them. They've given me a great product and service that has made gaming fun for me again over the last few years though, and even though I might not like every single thing they do, I know they work hard to bring us what they perceive to be improvements to their service and product offerings over time and that sometimes they'll get that right and sometimes they'll get it wrong and hopefully correct it, and other times yet they'll do something where people feel more polarized about it - such as the case with game unbundling. The good things they provide far outweigh any perceived bad though in my eyes, and I think they have nothing but good intentions for their customers and gaming in general so I'm willing to both give them the benefit of doubt overall and also tend to be more patient and wait and see attitude about things myself.
I'm not in any way saying anyone else should think or feel like this however, but it's what seems to work best for me personally in order to have an ongoing great experience here even in the midst of changes I may or may not like or bugs/glitches in the experience. It's a lot better experience than I've had with multitudes of other companies and for that I'm grateful even if I don't like something from time to time in the interim, and believe me - there
are things I don't like too, but they're drowned out by the otherwise great experience I have overall.
