Don't forget that Shadow Warrior II also had a Deluxe Edition available with pre-order bonuses.
I imagine they'd just need a product relations table, instead of just directly checking the IDs in an user's library.

You'll love this one then:
I bought the deluxe edition with the pre order bonus (which I can still download)
According to the website however I only own the standard edition, the deluxe upgrade and the artbook. But the deluxe edition does not show as owned.
Other games with preorder bonus still show as owned, but not Shadow Warrior 2.

Hi neumi5694,

If I understand correctly regarding pre-order bonuses. If I buy shadow warrior 2 now, will I get the pre-order bonuses without having pre-ordered the game?

If we buy the deluxe update, I won't get the pre-order bonuses.

I only have shadow warrior 2 with the deluxe update.

Cadaver747: A nice solution but it might have complications in future. My theory is that GOG realized that with such approach they generate more sales ;)

For instance how is that I don't own Shadow Warrior 2 Soundtrack when I bought Shadow Warrior 2 Deluxe and even Shadow Warrior 2 DLC upgrage. But GOG is willing to sell me Soundtrack for a 3rd time.
Hmm, well if it's a more binary approach, you could raise each main entry to 256, then you have 7 entries for future addons in any combination in your ID which includes what is also attached to it. That would work best for base game plus ost plus extras, etc.

Unfortunately there's games with 100 addons (like certain train simulators) where that won't work. Likely internally it's 32 or 64bit numbers for game id's, which thinking about it, may also incorporate the company ID too.

The next thing up would be to make special pseudo item rules which scans periodically (say, once a week) and if a person has a combination of items that equals a product, then they are just given the combined product equivalent. I say once a week because sometimes adding removing or doing games items can have an effect of modifying major things, like when Fallout under Interplay went to Bethesda instead.

Oh reminds me... GoG should STILL have game pages up for games they aren't selling. As such it shouldn't be searchable and you couldn't buy it, but still find it to see what the reviews and last update to it was. So instead of gog.com/games/somegame, becomes gog.com/unlisted/somegame, and if it was referenced in the forum to games/somegame and the game doesn't exist it redirects it to unlisted instead.

I have no information about that, but I doubt it.

I got them because I preordered it. What I wanted to say was that the bundle which I preordered does not show as "owned" anymore, but all it's components do.

Ok, thanks.
Agreed. It is super annoying.

I have a bunch of games that are like that: Greedfall, Fallout games, Schein... plus I suspect the "delisted" versions I got are not even getting updated anymore. "You paid, but it was before we left and came back, so f*ck you".

Then, they have the many editions labyrinthine nightmare:
- I got Wasterland 3 Colorado edition + deluxe edition upgrade, but somehow I don't own the deluxe edition
- I got the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition, which you'd think is complete, but I can still buy the base game + expans and also, somehow I can't get the Free DLC Program free addon, because apparently "I don't own the base game"
- Many many more examples I won't list here

And don't get me started about them wanting to sell you a game you have with some little extras you don't have (ex: a version of the game with the soundtrack included) at full price with no warnings or discounts.

You totally cannot trust the basket to warn you about a lot of things.

Actually you can get the Free DLC program without owning Witcher: Wild Hunt (or at least you were able to).

At one point I created a gift code with it, and then redeemed it with my own account.

The end result is an entry in my website games list that is unusable (I don't have the base game) and unable to be hidden. The Hard West 2 DLC controversy triggered the same bug

I did it in the mistaken belief it was needed for my Wild Hunt GOTY edition. (Which incidentally doesn't show as owned in the store either).

StingingVelvet: You guys have to figure this out.
YES. Makes scanning sales very annoying.
Same thing happens to me with Spellforce 3, and two others, that I can't seem to remember right now. I really hope they manage to add the "ignore" option from STEAM. there should be two options: "whishlist" and "ignore".

I have more than 1000 ignored games on STEAM, mostly the games I own on GOG and a shitload of adult games.

I think you guys and GOG are probably trying to over-engineer this problem.

While it might be nice to have everything done automatically and bundles marked correctly, in the end what gets the job done is a simple "mark as owned" button on every product page. If some bundle, DLC or whatever doesn't get automatically marked as owned, just hit the button manually!

It would also help to hide games which you happen to own somewhere else.

Steam has such a button (kind of), so it shouldn't be too difficult for GOG to have it as well.
i was going to make a script with a button to hide or show "owned elsewhere" however since i dont want to commit a server for storing something that i shouldnt have to..

it would have to be stored to a cookie, which would mean it wouldnt travel over different devices/browsers and would only last as long as the cookie

Data grid view for gog.com store page lets you blacklist games.

nice, i was going to suggest it to the other script person (since they store parts of your data)
