mrkgnao: A nice side-effect of the new feature is that it's now easier for me to detect games that I own, yet GOG thinks I do not. On the current front page alone, there are six such.

HypersomniacLive: Which games? Doesn't work for TW3 if acquired via an nVidia promo code (it doesn't show as owned anywhere but the checkout page).
TW3 (I own the "game + expansion", but neither the game, nor the expansion).
Don't Starve (I own the game and all DLCs, but not the pack)
Cities in Motion (I own the game and the DLC, but not the collection)
Fallout x 3 (I own the "classic" ones, but not the "newer" ones; no need to explain GOG's logic --- I still think it's wrong)

There are more, but these six were on the front page yesterday.

HypersomniacLive: Question - what element defines which games we own?
All the tiles with the word "Owned" next to the price conveniently have a "is-owned" class on their container element. So I don't decide what games you own - I just take whatever GOG provides and restyle it.

I thought as much. How do you explain what mrkgnao experiences?

See, I also own the "classic" ones, and the bundle still shows as everything else I don't own.

These are known GOG bugs. GOG's logic for associating premium editions with regular editions and DLCs is awfully buggy.

Very true, but that still doesn't explain why the Fallout bundle shows as owned for you.

It's the same bug. GOG does not "think" that if you own the "classic" editions, you also own the "re-released" editions.
The "classic" edition are kind of the premium editions to the regular "re-released" editions.

I know all that, and that's not what puzzles me.

The only way I can understand what you're experiencing is that the "is-owned" class on those titles' container element has always been present in your case and it just doesn't translate into a visible "owned" tag on the game pages, the Fallout titles included.
Otherwise BE wouldn't be able to pick it up and fade those titles and bundles for you. Unless I completely misunderstand the way BE handles owned games, which may well be the case.

The Fallout bundle is not greyed out for me and it is not marked as owned for me and does not carry the "is-owned" class for me. Briefly, GOG is very consistent in thinking I do not own these games.

I disagree with them.
Is there a way to install the script on Seamonkey 2.40. The Greasemonkey extension doesn't work with Seamonkey. I tried to install the script with Scriptish but nothing happens.

I think we have a miscommunication here. I read your initial post (#1003) as BE also greying out titles that GOG "thinks" you don't own, not just the ones labelled as "owned", and was surprised as it didn't do it for me, hence my question "Which games?"
But going by this post of yours, I think that's not what you meant with that post, so answered a different "Which games?" question?

As for the cases of "game+upgrades/separate DLC" vs "complete packs" - I agree with you 100% that they should be handled as owned regardless of how one ended up with everything.

The Fallout bundle doesn't exactly fall under the above case, and I can sort of see why GOG treats it as a different bundle. But as you said, those of us owning the "classics" practically own the premium edition, and have no reason to purchase it again. Unfortunately, we just have to live with the "not owned" status as I don't see it changing.

Yes. there was a misunderstanding.

My original post reads "A nice side-effect of the new feature is that it's now easier for me to detect games that I own, yet GOG thinks I do not".

What I meant was that it is now easier to detect these because a lot of the page is gray and now I can easily see the games GOG thinks I do not own, both those it thinks so correctly and those it thinks so incorrectly.

Just a temporal glitch. The space-time continuum was repaired in version 2.6 ;)

Heyho.
I'm using this extension for a while now(mainly to be able to display the original gog.com logo instead of the boring new, grey one) and think it's time to say:

Thank you, Barefoot_Monkey, for this extension. In my opinion, GOG isn't complete without it and it increases the functionality and the style of the website by a huge margin.
The new "hide games you own when there's a promotion"-thingy is pretty neat, too.

Furthermore, I have to agree with mrkgnao and HypersomniacLive:
The way GOG splits games unnecessarily in different versions and, in response to that, gives wrong information on if you already own them, is confusing at best.
(We need a "hide this game from me"-button to alleviate that, GOG.)
