Pretty much the same way. If you buy a bundle/pack/whatever that includes multiple games, whether they are all on one license key or on several, each individual game is added to your game library. This makes sense in a game launcher UI like Steam client because you bring up your library to play a game, and then click on that game and click "Play". It would be quite awkward and inconsistent for game packs that come with multiple games to have one icon to launch all 3-5 games so I imagine they're making this change for user interface friendliness and consistency between games. Another benefit is that with newer games that are not all bundled together as a collection, when a collection eventually comes out it doesn't matter if you bought them all individually or as a collection you get the exact same thing on your shelf - again, consistency. That is, assuming GOG does it like that. :)

But then each individual game can have it's own private game card, info, manuals, etc. as well, its own context sensitive menu with options for launching the game, DLC, and a multitude of other things.

Hopefully GOG includes a way to let us assign arbitrary number of "categories" for games to show up in like on Steam client as well so you can have your entire library view, or subcategories of your own making/choosing. For example on Steam all my games by default go into "My Owned Games", and when I finish them, I move them into "Completed Games". I have other categories as well, it's very convenient for organizing a huge stack of games.

LOL, there was a Caddyshack 2? :)

Soon as I read the first post I contemplated going to make popcorn and wait for the inevitable hate and "I'm leaving GOG, next is DRM blah blah wah wah!!!!" comments. ;oP

You have to admit though, for the what... 30 people that leave and never shop here again and the 3000 new customers the features draw in along with the usefulness of the feature to the rest of us, it's a pretty good tradeoff all things considered. :)

I can't hear you over the sound of me clicking the minus button on all of your posts. :P

You bring up a good ponder... What would it take for me to stop shopping at GOG? Man, they'd have to make one absolutely massive customer service blunder or really screw something up really bad and not try to fix it after. That is to say really bad /in my own eyes/, not the eyes of those 30 theoretical hypothetical people referenced above. :) It'd have to be pretty big to me though and not just a minor thing.

Oh, I got it! If they were to um, remove Fallout from my game shelf! No, um... if they replaced one of our video game soundtracks with a Justin Bieber CD. There we go!

I don't know about that. You put on some Bieber and my 'Postal' scores would probably quadruple.

I actually don't mind one way or the other, but it seems more organized and clean to me to have them grouped together.
Maybe the best solution would be a "group games" function to allow users decide for themselves.

Pro tip: Now there will be 6 icons of Lara Croft's boobs in your library. I'm just saying.

:)

I'd probably be less inclined to continue buying games from them if they started sending people to my apartment to jab at me with pointed sticks that have badgers tied to them. That's a deal breaker for me.

All of her dreamy polygonal glory! :) She did shape up over the years though... :)

Now they're like geodesics with boob physics!

Looking over this i wonder, will we still have the option to download it bundled rather than getting all the games separately?

Any and all libraries could certainly use more jiggle.

Dear god why.

I would like folders in my library. If bundles are getting de-bundled the mess will get even worse. I would like if I could make folders for RPGs, shooters, strategy games and then have folders within those folders as well, for example an Ultima folder within the RPG folder.
