You need to take into consideration that the cars follows the market. In Norway 90% of the customers buy automated cars when they buy new cars. So when you walk into a car store. Any car store. You will never see a new car with manual stick in the Norwegian market. And also because stick cars are so rare. It will cost 90000 kroner more to buy stick than automated. And when buying stick. You need to order the car and then wait 6-7 months for them to ship it to Norway.

Here is something I learnt in my years online: Think before picking an online name. I clearly did not research my name enough as I was just after something easy to pronounce.

not true: See the price list of your local BMW dealership for example, the manual cars cost round about 10k _less_ than the automatics. Proof: http://www.bavaria.no/Documents/Prislister%202018/prisliste-BMW-3-serie.pdf.asset.1515592454042.pdf

This always happens when you drive a manual :D.

0-10 MPH km/h = gear 1
10 - 25 MPH km/h = gear 2
25 - 45 MPH km/h = gear 3
45 - 75 MPH km/h = gear 4 or 5 depending on the road
75 - 120 MPH km/h = gear 5
120 - 145 = gear 6

In Norway a car with gear 6 is very rare. Most manual sticks cars in Norway only has 5 gears.
But yeah if you want to troll then keep at it. I am not going to discuss with you anymore.
That is because Høyre and FRP is subsidizing the cars with government money.
In 2014 cars was not subsidized and prices were higher.

Where is the OP from again?

Has he mentioned it?

Norway! The most subsidized nation in all of Europe. Depending on which parties you chose. You get different subsidized money for different industries.

Vote Arbeiderpartiet and you get more welfare money.
Vote FRP and you get more subsidized car shops.
Vote Høyre and you get expensier food.
Vote Rødt and you get basic income.
Vote Senterpartiet and you get more subsidized farming.

Hey you got Trump in USA. That is good for you. No more bailout and subsidized banks during crisis.

I'm personally quite happy with the current way of changing usernames whenever you want by asking support, but I do understand preferring to be able to do it yourself (particularly if, unlike me, you enjoy changing your name frequently). For the time being I suggest adding your vote to this wish. There are several variations on that, but this is the wish with the most votes already.

What about your parents? They are even worse!

You couldn't select your name yourself and changing this name sooo complicated! :(

Why are you attacking my parent?

I guess he got tired of running in there.

Do you know the word "irony"?

I do not attack them. It was an example to show you that in any proper community there should not be an easy way to change the name as it's something that function as person's "public handle".

The only people who want to change is so often usually do not use it in legal way.

I was tempted to type up a disagreeing reply, but I thought about some...and changed my mind.

There are many things that GOG has done to curb my buying enthusiasm, albeit the inability to change my user name wasn't one of them. If more people complain to GOG - or enough request a name change via support they'll upgrade their system to allow users to do it themselves.

Shit, they just created user profiles so user names will be more important than ever. I gather your wish will be made available soon.

But going back to what I was saying earlier . . . well, damn, I already forgot where I was going with this post. I'll end with this, if more people voiced what they dislike about GOG, maybe one day GOG will do something about it. Erm, probably not as there have been years of complaints that haven't been addressed yet. But I bet yours will be addressed ... "soon"!
