Update: CDKeys are corrected.

Also, regarding some more questions that have appeared:

How will unbundling influence downloads and installs via the GOG Downloader?
You'll now be able to pick which game from a pack you download and install, thus putting you in better control of the memory you use for games on your machine (especially important with some of the more space-hungry titles).

How will games be grouped in the library, post-unbundling?
Alphabetically, on the shelf. There'll be no further grouping at the moment enforced by us.

Will every cover have its own cover art?
Definitely!

Hmm, it looks like I have 33 more games... Btw Cognition episode 3 shows as Episode 4 in the shelf...
But now I have 8 Heroes Chronicles :P... and something is missing but i have no clue what...

Ciris: Update: CDKeys are corrected.
Not quite. The CD Key for Two Worlds 2 is under Castle Defense and not under Velvet Edition, which is the game that actually needs it. In addition, Avernum 6 and Hammers of Fate are still missing.

Ok, this unbundling is total crap. My library just multiplied by 20 some games. Why are the HoMM Chronicles separate by chapters when this is actually one game? Also game cards for unbundled games are not reachable anymore which is also crap. I really don't know why gog always makes it service worse then it was before.

I really wish you will give us an option to get old bundled version for download cause this is just untenable at the moment and the download size has actually increased with separate downloads. Also I paid for a bundled game not separate games!!!

Also there is no way for me to now know if all the games I bought are actually listed in my library. And people don't contact gog support if you have small issues with your library since waiting time for support cause of this crap they made is two months now.

Then can you fix some of the titles so that they alphabetise better? We've always had the problem of The Black Mirror ended up under T while Black Mirror 2 appears under B. Now we have The Blackwell Legacy under T, away from the other Blackwell games under B.

Please update "The X" titles to "X, The" format. That would make alphabetical sorting much smarter.

Seems like a change for the worse, totally unnecessary and highly inconsistent. Why would I want to have 3 battle chess games, or several rows of my shelf blocked by 6+ Larry, Space Quest, Kings Quest, Police Quest games, or 4 Wallace and Gromit episodes, while gems like Back to the Future or Tales of Monkey Island remain bundled? Strongly disagree with this change, especially since I cannot see how this would be optional - that would be a maintenance nightmare. -1 for gog.

Refreshed my account and my count went up by 8:
- +5 for the 6 parts of Zork Anthology (split across the letters B, F, Z) [See attached Zork.jpg for bonuses]
- +2 for the 3 parts of Tomb Raider 1-3 [See attached Tomb.jpg for bonuses]
- +1 for Avernum 6 [Thanks to DyNaer for pointing this out]

i'm almost sure two worlds 2 & castle defense share the same key (but they could have indicated it in both entries -_-)

well i written only one key for the epic edition (i could forgot the second key , but i doubt)

Avernun 6 is back , make an account refresh "again"

edit : oh yes, i forgot i can't still download american mc gee's grimm season 3 (the bin file isn't grabbed by the downloader),

How many times i will need to repeat this to have it fixed o_O

And lastly my shelf is a total garbage now. They were better solutions , seems you choosen the worst.

Same here. Possibly the other one is Wizardry 6+7 which are also split, but I had so many split that I can't remember which were done so already on the previous refresh (where I gained around 80 titles).

I also have a blank spot on my shelf between Z and Zafehouse Diaries.

I have a blank space as well.
I think it is from a Beta game that was removed, but left the space you can't move/delete.

Edit: It has been there before this updating the library mess.

DO NOT CLICK THE ATTACHED IMAGE IF YOU VALUE YOUR SANITY!

From the sizes, the product_bonus_xxxxx bonuses are all duplicates of the other bonuses. None of the product_bonus_xxxxx bonuses can be accessed (404 Not Found or 403 Forbidden).

Needless to say, this appears four times, once per episode.

Yes, there has been a lingering blank from The Witcher Adventure Game beta. Strange that it would sort under Z though, unless they gave it some kind of system name like z_beta_witcher_adventure.

Still trying to track the other new split. It looks like there might have been one more Commando split, as I seem to have four now, or possibly it was the restoration of Avernum 6 that some folks mentioned. With almost 100 new boxes on my shelf, it's no wonder I can't recall which one might be the newest.

It's the Avernum 6.

He's the saint that drove all the logical game groupings out of Gogland, yes?
