Interesting that no one wants use the German website, apparently. I've used GOG long before there was a German translation, got used to it so much I never really bothered to change it. Tried it once, but heavily delayed news posts kept me from doing so. On top of that, the translation feels off, it's not wrongly translated, it is just so... literal. Feels weird. Weird, weird, weird, weird...

i'm less scared, in a way.
i thought this bug was just on me/on my side

Help, the Germans are invading again! ;-)

GoG über alles!!!! :-D

Well I brought the problem to the attention of Johny. Of course it is weekend but hopefully it will be fixed soonish now that someone from gog knows about the language change thing.

Aaaaand it's fixed now! (It has probably been for a while, actually.)

Thanks for letting him know, tho I would assume someone at GOG's tech team would keep checking this particular thread more than any other in the forums, just for these bug reports. But maybe I assume too much :)

not fixed for me, i'm afraid
every forum page i,visit, the top menu bar and the bottom of page always revert to my "home langage" (based on what ? account settings ? IP geolocalisation ? whatever ?) despite me having the website set to use english

If you turn off the "subscribe to wishlist notifications" in your account settings on GOG, at some point in time after that - could be days/weeks/whatever, GOG forcibly turns that subscription back on and starts ramming wishlist notifications down your throat again.

The "I trust GOG" side of me wants to think their web coding has some shitsauce in it that needs to be fixed to not fux0r a user's preferences perhaps when they update the live website codebase.

The "WTF" side of me wonders if they purposefully reset our chosen preferences to ran wishlist notification emails down our throats in hopes we buy something by spamming us on purpose.

I'm going to give them the "don't attribute to maliciousness that which can be explained by ignorance" benefit of the doubt that there is an unintentional glitch either in their website code, or the way it gets deployed on updates. I've reported this problem to support before and didn't really get anywhere with it and had to go manually disable the wishlist subscription myself. I've had to do that like 3 or 4 times since it was first introduced.

As such, I consider this to be breakage which GOG is informed about, perhaps worthy of the master list in the top of the thread. If anyone else has experienced this as well, please reply to this comment to confirm the problem so that it is clear it is happening to more than one person - however I can't imagine the conditions in which it would only happen to me alone.

May it be associated with major sales by any chance? Since you mentioned it now, assuming it happened now, so thinking it may be connected.

I'm not sure, but I have to doubt that they'd do it on purpose because I give them the benefit of doubt that they're intelligent enough to know that whether on purpose or by accident - these kind of things are going to piss off some number of customers for sure. I don't think that they would choose to do it on purpose to benefit from any potentially increased sales at the expense of pissing people off as they just don't come across that way to me. They do however frequently make screwups to the website code that might go broken for hours/days/weeks/months or more unintentionally before they can eventually find the problem and fix it.

The website does change during sales, so it could be triggered by that in theory somehow. I've considered just completely unsubscribing to their newsletter and everything or just auto-filing it in my spam folder as a result though, bug or otherwise as I get way too much email as it is. Besides the stuff I'm subscribed to in my account is redundant for me as I subscribe to their RSS feed in my newsreader anyway, and that's a subscription that I control 100%. :)

I just deleted my cookies and refreshed browser - still nothing. Stupd German forum ... why, why, why?

Now I'm confused.
It is really fixed for me. I wonder how that is possible without some WTF-worthy website code.

Might have to do with the browser or device you use. When I use my mobile phone everything is fine. When I use my PC it's still broken.
