I know this is the wrnog forum but i'm drunk.

I want to block games that are not i n my desired range...Why can't I block them?

This is a simple concept.

Please look at simple concepts and utilize them.

THANKS!

A simple concept, yes, but one no sensible store owner would want to implement.

Well, steam does have that option. If i remember correctly they even let you mark entire genres as "not interested".

Any sensible store owner would want to implement. Why show a customer stuff he'd never buy because he already has it at home when the same space on the page could be used to show stuff he could be willing to buy?

Interesting. I don't use any other service so i don't know what's going on there or elsewhere to be honest. But... [see next reply please].

From a customer perspective, I'm not opposed to that "Block" feature at all and i'd make heavy use of it, mind you. And you have a good point on "use that space to show stuff one is more willing to buy", but i think impulse buying & re-buying are a real thing and maybe a store owner would like to take advantage of them. Of course, whether or not this is a customer friendly practice can be debatable.

Having said that, i don't see any feature like that coming soon; they didn't even implement a price ascending / descending filter yet!

Impulse buying is a thing that a store owner might like to take advantage of, but a customer is much more likely to impulse-buy a title he doesn't own.

It's precisely for this reason that GOG, as a store owner, should include this option. On a normal display a customer sees 20-30 titles at a time. If they are all titles he's interested in, there is a bigger chance of him (impulse-)buying one, than if 15 of them are titles he already owns elsewhere or is a from a genre he'd never buy.

Agreed.

Good point there.

Also keep in mind that flooding a customer with titles he is not interested in raises the chance of the customer not noticing a title they are interested in. This very thing happened to me on a variety of gog sales already.
