This message that pops up when you try to connect to online with Galaxy is outright idiotic.

FIRST OFF
This message very specifically states that this is where codes from prizes, promotions, discounts, special giveaways, season passes, etc. get entered in. And get bonus stuff from galaxy that others cannot get from using those codes. And you are allowed to give your code out to someone else that wants it provided continue has not been clicked yet.

SECONDLY:
There is no OPT OUT option for people who don't have codes. Clicking cancel is supposed to closed out the entire screen promotional code message and still allow you to click continue so the person can connect galaxy online. Just going online Someone not having a code is the exact same thing as someone having a code and someone who has a code and chooses not to use it or gives it to someone else are the exact same thing. So neither one can get online? So I have a code and choose to give it to someone and they use it, now guess what the person I gave the code to CAN get online, but I cannot.


OVERVIEW

GOG GALAXY MESSAGE: Got a code to use on GOG.com?
PERSON 1: Umm No I don't..and there is no option to get one sent
PERSON 2: Yes I do but I don't want to use it RIGHT NOW
PERSON 3: I did but I gave it to someone else to use and they used it
PERSON 4: Used the code person 3 gave them

OUTCOME:
PERSON 4 is now the only one who can get online.
PERSON 1, 2, and 3, are screwed
PERSON 1 is just outright screwed a. for not having a code, b. has no way to get a code sent to them.
PERSON 2 is forced to either use the code or not go online.
PERSON 3 doesn't make sense because why would anyone prevent themselves from being able to connect?

This is the dumbest set up I've ever seen.

and you think gog will pay attention let alone listen ?
galaxy has been garbage for almost 3 years now

and it continues to be barely functional garbage

*raises an eyebrow*

Aren't you mixing things up? The message you quoted is from giftcode redeeming page and I really doubt it has anything to do with going online using Galaxy client.

Well, Galaxy isn't mandatory... yet


Just don't use it, simple as that.

I'd pick the "Get Rid" option any day with the way they're treating Linux users.

I have no idea what you're trying to convey here.
I mean yes Galaxy is a POS, but from what I gather your problem seems to be with the code redemption page of the website.

yet being keyword

And when that happens, I'll say "screw it", take my leave and get my gaming needs from other sources...

ditto

Where did you download Galaxy from? This sounds like you are attempting to use the very first version of Galaxy, which required an invitation to use. If you are using the current version, do post a screenshot of where you encountered the code message.

im already teetering on the edge
havent bought anything from gog since last year

OP, guessing from what little and confusing information you provided, one could guess that in options you have selected Continue previous session as a Startup page. And that you tend to close Galaxy client every time you see the message.

Edit:
Destro to the rescue.

I thought this was the message displayed, was it changed? Granted, that is from August of 2015, but I haven't had a chance to test it since :/

So, it's only March. :P
