Not only are they pointless to me until I decide to go to my library to download a game, even when you go visit the update (every time there's an update for *any* game...) that [1] lingers, and lingers, and lingers ... it's frustrating.

┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻
Seriously, I can't be the only one that is bothered by this. How many times do I have to see a notification only to find out *a* game was updated again, filter my library to updated, only to find out it's Defender's Quest again and then still have to click through to the game to get rid of that notification (which will then, hopefully, go away at some point in the near future)

I get it. They can't see whether I am currently playing a game or not so the updates *might* be relevant to me, but at least separate chat notifications from update notifications somehow. A different place, a different graphic, something! :p

PS: And no I don't have a problem with Defender's quest, updates are good, I'm just tired of being made aware of every single one of them and there's no way to avoid it because the notifications are mixed in with the notifications for forum/chat responses.

PPS: Couldn't even search for threads I created myself with the search history or for that matter change any search criteria or for that matter even get a result list sorted by freaking date!! Are you kidding me? Why are we still stuck with this? (Thankfully google exists)

Do like me since ages ago: don't click on updates anymore. I currently have 111 updates notifications and I don't care ;)

I just put white out on the top of my screen.

I tried but it then forces you to check account every single time to see if you missed any responses to posts that may have already dropped off the first page

I know way back there was someone who kept lamenting that his notifications weren't showing. I guess they fixed it for good.

They should also somehow separate messages from update notifications.

For example in the menu:
ACCOUNT [120] [3]

I'd also like a way to view and reset update alerts more easily in the library.
Like for emails:
[x] select all > action > mark as read

Funnily enough before I read this topic title I was considering writing to support and asking them to remove DQ from my library for this very reason

Doesn't BE have the option to disable or turn off certain notifications?

I can certainly have a poke about and see if there is any easy way to clear all notifications at once (or all game notifications anyway).

If nothing else, separating the two so they show two numbers should be entirely possible...

I support this for the simple fact Galaxy handles all my updates... I don't need notifications and it is a waste of time when I have to go clear these after I already know what is in the update via Galaxy.

Ok, here's a start:

!function(){var o=angular.element(document).injector(),t=o.get("accountProductsRepository"),e=o.get("accountProductDetails"),n =t._products;for(productId in n){var c=n[productId];c.updates>0&&(console.log("Clearing updates status for: "+c.title),e.requestGameDetails(c.id).then(function(){console.log("Done.")},function(){console.log("Error...") }))}}();

This is courtesy of Johny, run it in the console on the account page and it should clear all the game updates in your actual library. It will still take a while for the menu bar notifications to drop off, but it saves clicking through every game and clearing them manually.

I can clear the notifications but it doesn't stick (using the below code in the console), so I'll need to find a way to actually ping back to the server that you no longer have or need the notifications so they don't reload.
I'll look into it later.


var notifScope = angular.element(document.querySelectorAll('._dropdown__toggle span')).scope();
notifScope.notifications.productUpdates=0;
notifScope.notifications.total=0;
notifScope.notifications.has.productUpdates=false;
notifScope.$apply();

Run this anywhere on Gog and it should clear the notifications from the bar (but only until refresh unfortunately, I'll need to find a better way to actually clear them)
