Maybe this is not the right thread. But can somebody tell me why GOG changed some of the installers to "ugly as hell"? Those buttons and the text on them look as if they don't belong there. It really does look like the work of amateurs. I have attached a shot of two installers (above the good looking and at the buttom the ugly one).

GOG really needs to apply an OS filter for the bonus, it's not good to have a linux or mac version when selecting windows tab and the contrary... that's just not good... and it has never been taken iinto consideration ,like many things.

or place the original version outside the bonus.

GOG really wants to make the shelf (through the browser) a place to not looking at ..... >.>

I am downloading all those unbundled games and this included the Blackwell games as well. After downloading them I could not find them anymore on my HDD. I tried to open the enclosed folder directly from GOG downloader and guess what: the games are saved as

episode1_the_blackwell_legacy
episode2_blackwell_unbound
episode3_blackwell_convergence
episode4_blackwell_deception
and
blackwell_epiphany (has not changed)

Really? I really like you guys but what did the one who were thinking of these names smoking? Why not someting like blackwell_bundle_ep1_blackwell_legacy or blackwell_bundle_episode1? How could someone get the idea it would be great to START the filename with the episode number without mentioning what name the game has? But maybe there is a good explanation (like with the uglier installers) which I just cannot see at the moment.

And the clunky one also needs 0,1 GB more space!... Hmmm I guess it's because of the clunky corners... o_ __O

Thanks!

The least they could do is share the stuff, then we would be having the same psychedelic visions; no wondering, no questions, problem solved! ;-)

Dear GOG,

verify your stuff before you implement it.


Thanks.

Elaborate?
