Does my GOG account come with a personal profile?

What I mean is, is there a specific URL that would link to me on GOG?

I have a forum of my own (godus.boards.net) which I've been running for a few years. I have just added some custom profile fields so people can proudly display their Steam and GOG handles. I managed to get it to display my Steam handle and linking it to my profile there and would like to do the same with my GOG handle. I've been looking for my GOG profile but it appears there isn't one.

Or is there?

If so, where can I find it?

You can show off your wishlist, if you make it public. Beyond that, though, there is no such thing as a "profile", no.

If you wish to make your wishlist public, you can do that in the privacy settings and link to it by using the URL https://www.gog.com/u/Stonelesscutter/wishlist. You also seem to have your chat settings set to "allow for everyone", and thus you can link to https://www.gog.com/u/Stonelesscutter/chat for people (who are logged in to GOG) to open an conversation with you.

There isn't one but you can apply for an account on The GOG Community Wiki and you could also use the Barefoot Essentials script to upload your library titles / wishlist there and display it on your profile.

Thank you. That is too bad. I hope that's something that'll be implemented in the future then.

Why would I want to show off my wishlist? That's a bit like saying "look at all these games I would like to have but cannot afford!" or "can someone please give me some money so I can buy some new games?". Well maybe not quite, but if I would want people to find me on GOG I wouldn't want to point them to my wishlist. Would make more sense showing them which games I do own.

Well you can make your Wishlist public, and you can create yourself a GogWiki Profile by using Barefoot Essentials and / or Magog.
Also there should be an option to add your handle for friend adding somehow, but I never tried it.

Oh, right, there's that. I forgot about that.

That's awesome. I would feel a little weird about it though, but to each his own of course. I hope I didn't insult anyone, that was certainly not my intention.

That MaGog search engine is a beast!
