already submitted the issue to the support

edit : i can't manage to grab the file missing with the downloader, the download through browser always stop at a moment or another..... so FIX IT.

Uhh... that link is dead.

The link has been dead almost from the moment it was posted. There is another link two lines down.

The PDF link never worked AFAIK, but the pastebin one did:

I like this change.

For one, I own American McGee's Grimm & I had thought of making such a suggestion. Having to download 8 GB every time I wanted to play ONE half-hour episode was just ridiculous.

Besides, I may have a solid, if not exactly super-fast internet connection, but internet availability is not equal in all parts of the world. I suspect this will make it easier for a lot of people.

Even if small games like King's Quest are separated, I don't think this will be a problem, 'cuz even if the game is small in size, it may be big in terms of time needed to complete it. It's not exactly a hindrance to download King's Quest I, finish it in a couple of days, maybe a week & then come back to download the second one.

I cannot imagine how this may be a negative choice, really.

Well, I was dragged into the digital purchasing realm kicking & screaming.

I always went for the big, separate boxes when I really liked something. I guess shelf clutter is something I'm not only used to, but actually enjoy.

I can see how many people will not like that, but for all intents & purposes, not only can I not be bothered over it, I actually *like* it.

The best solution really would be allowing customers to select how they want their collections displayed, but from a business stand-point, I don't think all the extra time & work that necessarily has to go into it, will be feasible.

*shrugs*

After the Telltale debacle - sorry if I'm repeating myself here - I never thought I'd actually support a company's decisions over its customers, but I just can't find GOG changes unreasonable, try as I might.

Fair enough. I hope you enjoy the change.

I don't support the change, but I know I'll enjoy it too, for it'll force me to rewrite portions of MaGog and a programming challenge is always a nice diversion.

P.S. What is the "Telltale debacle", if I may ask?

Will you notice if I post my comments here?

I'm not sure if your list is the final version or a draft, but please check the spellings and for consistency before you finalize anything. I notice at least "Planetfalla", and my OCD is also giving me an itch with inconsistent capitalizations like "romancing the throne" followed by "To Heir is Human" and the roman numerals in Ultima 1-2-3-IV-V-VI.

Oh, and since you're going through with this I do hope you intend to give each of these the appropriate cover art instead of just duplicating a single image like you did for Cognition yesterday for some reason. The episode 3 of which by the way is still mislabeled as 4.

This will also make me change where my installer looks for the Descent files when using a GOG install...

Oooh, didn't notice that... Yeah, I too will go crazy if the titles aren't consistent.

I didn't think about the covers 'cuz Grimm got different art for the three seasons, but that's a good point.

GOG, don't you do it half-assed. A'ight?

Upvoted!

xkcd ftw. (+1)

That is indeed strange, however IIRC the way that game was bundled together so oddly had something to do with legal reasons or something bizarre. I remember either asking or watching someone else ask about why it didn't install the same way as other games did and you had to dig out the extra games and manually install them yourself. Don't remember GOG's exact answer but if I remember correctly it was of the "publisher required us to do it this way" sort. Something like you're buying just the one game and the other 2 are bonus materials in order to work around legal weirdness or something. I'll see if I can track down their response.

It would be nice if they could fix that anomaly though and make the Alone in the Dark games install like other multi-game packs.
Ok, that's just pure awesome. It had to be said. Thanks for that, LOL
