i guess it's simply too complex, when i learnt how the account creation could be abused so easily... i would say they have some security problems, so atm implementing this is not a good idea...

To be fair, they never could have seen it coming that people would start gifting and trading like mad. I think the intended use was to gift it to somebody you already know, hence why you insert their email address.
Of course, that being said, the issue is that it IS going on and they're doing nothing to help it.
My personal take on is that they never will do anything because they've repeatedly stated that the community is not a focus for them. They want to focus on the actual moneymakers, not the people who they've already got as loyal customers or who have already bought up nigh half their games.

Considering they have multiple alts I wouldn't trust the fact they could even handle managing those very same users with the same connected accounts og gmail, hotmail, or outlook, I remember back with Youtube they started removing those accounts and 40% of the popular content creators got the shaft.

Also thank you, I am not really that important however so don't worry about it, I was just making the observation that with such an explosion of accounts right here connected to each you would think they could at least trouble shoot the thought.

I should have been on the lookout to datamine this issue, but if they are gonna pull that, is like taking around the fact you are putting up a shop, and you get robbed, or you try to donate food in the street, and people JUMP you, I see the point, but that doesn't excuse the fact one that this website has running code to which YOU CAN TRACK THIS ACCOUNTS onto the connection of others then have it automated if they have connected browser accounts, it might be a hassle to just do it, hell I see the point, but the extension of this problem with GOG's non-methos to solution BAFFLE ME

I'd guess there are some things they really aren't allowed to do. It may have to do something with privacy and maybe some additional laws. They may want to prevent to be "Big Brother" and accidentally close legit accounts ect. like steam does nearly every day (as a legit owner I value every day I can still access my account there). They also already closed some accounts for which they had enough proof but when is enough reallöy enough? Were is the line between security and privacy crossed? I don't say I completely agree to GOGs policy here but I say that I can understand it a bit. It's nearly the same with their policy to not censor anything in the forums - I like this freedom and too much control destroys this kind of freedom a bit imo.

it's mostly GOG's fault ; some design flaws and security issues , "users" who have scammed / impersonated some others users have throw away their privacy if you ask me , but that's my point of view. And impersonating someone is a private issue....

for the censorship or not ; yes sure, so you can allow someone to mock a user because he got a cancer, no sorry, the line has been crossed this time, and the user who crossed this line , should have been banned forever. > check the policies , IF you have really checked them : GOG didn't applied those for this case. I'm not a fan of censorship, but when a line is crossed, action must be taken... which it's not the case.

:(
But,it's perfectly ok to abuse parents and family?

I agree with you but the problem here does seem to prevent other innocent users from being harmed as well with too much security and privacy invasion.

There's quite some room for improvments , starting to apply properly ALL their policies (which isn't something to hard to do)

second : changing the account creation which is totaly silly.

third : no more all caps in chat.

and probably some more... but i'm kinda agree with you... & since trades are not officials ; well there are easy preys for the moment -> you know Judas stance on this matter ? right .

in meanwhile someone probably got scammed by one of scammer impersonator.

Why, that's nonsense!
It's not like any idiot can come on here and make an alt account impersonating you within the span of just under 2 minutes or something.
Not at all.
It's a completely ridiculous notion, really.
Not sure why anybody would believe that.

Oh a side note, hey, does anybody want to trade me their entire trading list for The Witcher 3? It's a totally legit copy, you guys.

Edit
