I currently have two issues with Game Pages, and I imagine I am not alone, with at least one of the problems.
1. On my Wishlist, I have two games I bought here, still showing, though they alone have a greyed out band. This happened two or three sales back, and has never occurred before (in well over 300 purchases last year).

2. In my Game Library, I have many games pointing to the wrong Game Page ... wrong as in the version page. The correct version page exists, but the page linked to is the bare bones version page. In other words, I bought something like a Deluxe or Special version of the game, but the link in my Library goes to the Standard Version, despite the page for the correct version existing. From what I have noticed, this is a fairly recent occurrence I think ... only the last few months. I list some of them below.

should be pointing to -
https://www.gog.com/game/hard_west_collectors_edition
because that is the version I bought.

https://www.gog.com/game/men_of_war_assault_squad
https://www.gog.com/game/men_of_war_assault_squad_goty_edition
And several (perhaps many) others.
The first issue, is just a minor annoyance, but the second often requires doing a GOG search to find the right page, and one wonders what will happen if they ever drop that version, and it no longer becomes available to find in a search? While the second issue could partially be solved by having related game links on the Standard Game Page, that doesn't cater for the availability issue I mentioned.
The ideal fix, would be to have links to both Standard & Purchased version in our Libraries.
Are GOG aware of these issues and gonna fix them?
If it is helpful, I can go through all my Library and list all the others?
