I just noticed that, in my library's main view ("My Collection"), when I select any of my tags with which I have at least one hidden game tagged (in addition to non-hidden ones), it no longer shows the check box at the bottom of the results that would allow me to append any hidden titles to the end of said results.
I'm guessing the loss of this feature might just be an oversight after all the messing about behind the scenes of the website recently, but it would be nice to have it back. (Actually, it would be extra cool if, when that box was checked, the relevant hidden matches were mixed into the rest of the results according to whatever sorting mode is selected, rather than being dumped all together at the end, but I'd obviously be fine with the feature simply being restored as it was. :) )

Am I the only one whose ratings for all the games seem to have been deleted? All the games star ratings I checked are set back to zero stars, as if I never rated those games. When I try to rate them again, they don't get saved.

Cannot comment on this, as I haven't rated any game in 10+ years.
But I did try to rate one now, as a test, and indeed the rating was not saved, or at least it did not display upon reload.

Last I heard from support was a month ago, supposedly being investigated.

The Dreamlist has a problem in Pale Moon: pages tend to be far wider than the viewport, and some of them keep changing width. It turns out there's a quick-and-dirty hack via client-side CSS:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document url-prefix("https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/") {
[_nghost-ng-c2582111020] { display: inherit !important; }
}
This will mean that descriptive text has a sane and constant width, but it still won't truncate. (I'm fine with this, but it isn't how the pages are supposed to work.) I think truncation is handled by a script, but that's as far as I've got in diagnosing the root problem.
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document url-prefix("https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/") {
[_nghost-ng-c2582111020] { display: inherit !important; }
}

For a very short time it was "selectively" working for me. I could upvote game reviews, but not downvote them. Meanwhile even that's gone again. Rating games and voting on game reviews is broken for me since almost 3 months now.

I just noticed that pretty much everything published by TinyHat Studios has vanished from the catalog.
For me, the publisher search only lists a single item, a disconnected DLC for Battle Brothel.
Also, all known games instantly re-direct back to the catalog. For example:
- A Town Uncovered
- Claire's Quest: GOLD
- 8th Heaven
Can anyone confirm this? Or is this a problem on my end?
additional info:
Switching browsers doesn't change a thing.
edit:
Oh no! Please don't tell that this is another wave of regional blocks for the German market. Basically copying what Steam already did, i.e. mass hiding/ blocking everything for which there's no known age rating.

EDIT: You know, I was gonna fix my typo, but I think I'll leave it. It seems weirdly appropriate, somehow. ;P

Can always check GOGDB if in doubt, and for confirmation of a regional block grab the game's id from there and check for it in API, https://api.gog.com/v1/bannedProducts?countryCode=DE
1517216562 (8th Heaven)
1202796809 (A Town Uncovered)
1973407267 (Claire's Quest: GOLD)
1334902593 (Cloud Meadow)
1553169307 (Dungeon Tavern)
1101011608 (garage:VAMP)
1790504978 (Memoirs of a Battle Brothel)
1696710229 (Opportunity: A Sugar Baby Story)
1615566724 (Seeds of Chaos)
1918709582 (Spooky Starlets: Movie Monsters)
All among the 430 entries currently there.
(Entries don't all refer to existing titles, but anyway. Other EU countries have all of 7 entries, but all are leftovers, none refer to titles actually existing in the catalog. China has 531, for comparison. Australia 253.)

I didn't know that there is even a dedicated API endpoint for "banned products".
edit:
To clarify, it seems that most, if not all, games published by TinyHat Studio have mature/ explicit content. That at least explains why they are blocked (youth protection). I.e. it's not a random act of bureaucracy because someone forgot to fill out a required questionnaire.
