MIK0: Seems like a waste of time working on replacing installers when they clearly don't have the resources to deal with most of the needed fix and updates they have to do. [...]
HypersomniacLive: That's exactly why I want a blue-text to clarify what this flood's all about, and why these changes were important enough to each warrant a flag when actual game updates, more so those that come with changelogs, often don't.
And I agree, it would be good to have news about a massive updates. I disagree however about the notification, I would still want them even for a mere installer update. The issue for me is the lack of changelog, that in this case should include a description about the change in the installer. My wish is to have my backups up to date.
It's true though, that actual game updates are often lacking those notification, something that in my mind should be automatic: every change in the files about one games should trigger a flag notification.
MIK0: I believe they are updating mostly really old installer. As you can see the name convention changes to the new convention. The one I checked have not an optional check for integrity that was missing before. However keep in mind I'm not sure the one I had were up to date due to the infamouse lazyness of GOG in giving us a real way to be notified and check for updates for our backups. The spend money instead developing Galaxy, another waste of money.
kohlrak: Presumably this kind of update is indeed necessary for some things, including a potential galaxy feature. That said, not sure I agree with the priorities, given the issues we have. Either way, i'm glad to know galaxy and it's intrusions onto our systems is not what's being updated.
I will be more glad when it will be discontinued and replaced with something that is actually useful :)
