Not using it, not planning to. Never used the gog downloader either, browser download works just fine for me.

I truly do like many of you, and I'm pretty sure you all are aware of that, but the number falls every day as the galaxy/w3 crowd drives them (us) away. A few threads in my favorites have yet to be invaded by the warts. :)

It sucks that the giveaway culture has been ruined beyond repair, though some might argue it was that way before I even arrived. I used to enjoy holding GAs quite a bit...

I installed it, didn't do much with it, quit letting it start up when a couple times it crashed a couple games trying to notify me of something . I'm not opposed to it, But I won't look at it again until it is more feature-rich.

I know you do and other as well ofcourse, was just teasing you. I certainly agree that with quite a few regulars leaving and the consequence of TW3 release bringing about unsavory elements, it is less then ideal and that is why GOG needs to do their part as well in trying to preserve the unique community spirit here by paying some attention towards the forum through appointing a dedicated community manager atleast.

Its unfortunate about the current situation with most giveaways but its certainly not a lost cause because of a few nitwits, as can be evidenced by the highly successful long running Community giveaway. :)

Personally if I wanted to have chat, connect online, and chat with friends, then I will use steam. I prefer GOG.com as a place to buy games old and new, indie or triple A that are not hindered by online connection, and forums are fine to discuss any topic about games or random stuff.
damn, accounts actually have been lost due to gog galaxy?

Idk about this place, but CDProjekt Red in North America is hiring: http://en.cdprojektred.com/jobs/community-manager-north-america/

Not really; I have it installed but don't use it that much. Hopefully improvements to it lead to more "big-name" games showing up here.

I don't need it, so I haven't install it yet. And to be honest, I don't think I will.

thank you, just I thought I would've heard something like that on these forums if it was real.

Response to the initial question:

Yes, at least all of the Linux users since it's simply unavailable.
I don't think that I would use it as a Windows user either though.

I wish GoG would have put the effort into fixing their site instead of making something like Galaxy.
Was there a popular wishlist entry for a GoG client or was it done against the community's wishes?

Never tried it. Never intend to.

That's not surprising, it was the default way to install Witcher 3 according to the instructions, a lot of people didn't even realize they had a choice.

I'd be interested to see how many people are still actively using the client this month for instance.

Yes there was, and yes many people wanted it.
Considering they released a video saying how many achievements had been unlocked, and how much time had been played... I think we can at least assume a large portion are Galaxy users.

It was done because of the wishes of the community, specifically the following wishlist entry.

It is linked by GOG themselves in the first post of the "One Million Wishes Granted" as one of the reasons for starting work on GOG Galaxy.
