UPDATE: We've added a new option to the Privacy settings in GOG Profiles - from now on you can turn off your profile on GOG entirely, so no one can see any kind of information that is shown on the profile page. This also means that when you turn off your profile, you won’t be visible on your friends’ friends lists, even if they decide to keep their profiles visible.
The option to enable/disable your GOG Profile can be found in your account „Privacy & Settings” options, under „Privacy” tab.



We just introduced a new feature on GOG.COM: User Profiles – a social way to share what you and your friends are up to. See what your friends on GOG are playing, achieving, and sharing across four sections – Feed, Profile, Games and Friends.

Your Feed is the centerpiece of your Profile. Here, you’ll see which games your friends have been playing, all sorts of achievements and milestones, as well as general thoughts, screenshots, and forum activity. You can dispense your approval at whim and share your own stuff as well!

Your Profile is all about you and your gaming accomplishments. It's a summary of your activity, like the time you've spent in your games , your latest achievements (and just how rare they are among other users), as well as a glimpse at what your most active friends have been up to.

If you want to know more about your Games, you need to hit the the third tab. It contains a list of all the games you own on GOG, together with stats like time spent in-game and your progress towards unlocking the achievements. Sort the list, compare stats with your friends, and get some healthy competition going.

Finally – your Friends: get a general summary of their achievements and hours played. Here you'll also see which games are the most popular among your friends right now, so you can join them in multiplayer or find something you might enjoy yourself.

Of course, your profile comes with some sweet personalization options, choose a wallpaper from your game collection and share a few words with the world.

User Profiles are available for all GOG.COM users. Your personal gameplay stats like achievements, time played and milestones depend on GOG Galaxy, but if you’re not using the optional client you can still use the feed, post in it and interact with your friends.

Launching profiles also means adding new privacy settings on our end. You'll find three new Privacy options in your account's „Privacy & settings” area. These settings allow you to set the visibility for your profile summary, your games, your friends, etc.
So what are you waiting for? There's so much room for activities!

New reply from Gog Support. I had previously received the 'our lips are sealed' response, and then an automated msg asking if they could close my ticket, if the issue was solved.

I replied that it was not solved until they responded properly re the invasion of my privacy and fixed the profile issue, and this is what I got:

[i]Hello

I'm not sure what kind of invading privacy are you referring to as we don't do it at all. And to hide info about your profile can be done through your account settings-privacy:

Now the question is: are they playing stupid or is the stupidity genuine?

They just don't give a fuck. Like oh so many other issues the community has raised over the years, but GOG continue to ignore. It's more important to continue the descent to yet lower levels, at a faster pace.

I'm going to start downloading all game files I have, and look into the possibility of deleting my account. This shit has gone too far. The reason I signed up to GOG were their once-good principles. When they are racing towards being a copy of Steam with all its downsides, why should I stay here?

The least I can do for my own conscience and protection is to look into consequences and alternatives.

Over the last few weeks I've got emails from other companies along the lines of "please login so we don't have to delete your account". GOG, however, are more aggressively violating privacy and ignoring any and all complains for reversal or improvements.

I would say: both. They are pretending to play stupid to hide the fact that they actually are stupid. ;-)

Downloading the game files is a good idea, but you penalize only yourself if you delete your account. You won't have access to any updates to your games and that's a service you paid for, not to mention being an offline backup in case your disk fails. Not buying from them again and warning others about them is how you can have an impact without sacrificing yourself.

Well, at this point it does qualify as an answer.

Namely : "We don't see any problem therefore fuck you".

That would be the big downside, but I at least have to seriously think about it. Most games won't get updates anyway. The big kick in the teeth is if my disk with all the files on go up in smoke.

I can no longer support a company that behaves like a vampire.

puviani: Well, it turns out that this GOG idiocy is saving me money already. This weekend alone there were half a dozen games that I would have bought if I still trusted them. Every cloud has a silver lining.
That coming from one with nearly 1.5k games already owned should tell GOG something... I've had PMs with a few people too, some had more than 1.8k, who were genuinely pissed off by the situation.

Could be that a lot of people actually enjoy bragging with the size of their library - and I wouldn't want to take that away from them since they spent good money on them and helped along the DRM-free cause - but some people feel embarrassed being "shown off" like that.

"How many games did buy at that place, darling?"
"A few hundred maybe..."
"You should really cut down on that, we could use the money to do something nice together, you know?... What's that big number up there on your screen?..."

Chewbacca, where are you? We need the expressiveness of Wookie language here... Mine at least is not sufficient for what I think about that...

tinyE: Shouldn't all of you be at church?
Nah. Always, when I enter a church, the holy water starts to boil in it's basin and the crosses start to bleed. That's not really a problem it itself, but the people in the church always look so scared and after a few centuries that got boring.

Editing to try to get that message into italics, which wasn't working before.
Quick, write back to them:

'Dear GOG,

Fuck You.

ps. Strongly worded letter to follow.'
