argamasa: I agree itch.io is the worst, not only front page, the way you manage your library and games owned.
Yeah, I remember the time they had that charity sale with like 1700 games or something, and I bought it, and then I had to figure out where they all went, as they weren't with my regular purchases. Figuring out their site is like a little game in itself!

EDIT: On the other hand, it turns out I was kind of glad they weren't just thrown in with my regular purchases, as I did want to keep those separate.

Time4Tea: I think GOG's landing page is ok. It's far from the worst store front page I have seen. OP: you say you don't like it, but how would you improve it?
I know you weren't addressing me, but:
I'd like a darker theme available for nighttime viewing. Other than that, I really don't have a big problem with it other than maybe it's trying to do a little too much on that one page.

Imo, the biggest issue is that the GOG front page barely does anything to advertise their one biggest selling point - that their games are DRM-free. It is barely mentioned anywhere, yet it should be front and center! It's what the whole store is about, after all.
That's a good point. GOG needs to keep in mind that there are always new young people getting into gaming that may not already know everything we old-timers take for granted.

There was a silly joke when I was learning English and it said that only members of the royal families and people with intestinal worms use the plural when talking about themselves. :)
I've always put any storefront in 'useless' category.

I head straight to 'new releases', or 'wishlist'. No idea why would bother with some pre-selected items on the store front, when can head to section I'm interested in and grab what I want. Much faster and cleaner solution! Only drawback I see, is total absent of titles I'm after in both sections... Oh well...

Good point!
I agree to the sentiments of disappointment voiced here to some extent.

First of all the new colour theme GOG is applying everywhere is not my cup of tea. The Grey, Green Yellow theme was better. But it's subjective.

The lack of a dark theme is a horrible thing.

The organization of the front page is so haphazard.

The screenshots viewer in the games' pages are clunky.

Visual elements appear to be a little to big on both mobile and desktop; but a little worse on the desktop.
