This is how the news look on my browser.

Looks exactly as if you took a screenshot from mine.

I really don't like the new design and placement of the news. They should have more visibility and details, not hidden at the bottom of the page.

Albeit they are there, sort of, you have to click and click and click in order to see the news three at a time. Insteado of checking the ones from the last weeks at a glance. Bad design for those of us who like checking GOG's news. And for GOG, as well.

I'm seeing the same in Pale Moon.

It's bad design, period.

If I were a cynical person I'd think that GOG broke News threads popping onto the first page of the general forum on purpose.

Yeah, the news section doesn't always load for me either.

It never does for me and I also have most of the front page full of "free" games.

Kinda troublesome if news won't show up since i used that to inform myself what sales are currently going on, when they started and what games were released since the forum doesn't even show up blue news thread about new releases or sales properly.

News should definitely be 1st thing seen on the front page... especially the forums are so utterly broken that New / New release topics don't post for hours afterwards...

I'm not to concerned about text vs images for the news. In probably 80% - 85% of the time, your news is going to be game releases and you can tell what that article is about by the title alone.

However, I do agree that news should be moved to the top. My suggestion for what the front page should look like would be:

I would also support eliminating the videos and possibly removing the hover effect, meaning the game title and shopping cart symbol would always show.

I have the same problem. I enter daily to read the news about new games or deals. Thanks to the previous redesign, I had to scroll everyday to the bottom, but now it's even worse, as in IE11 things just don't work. Whats worse, I read the web with 150% size, as I use a TV and otherwise fontsize is too small. More than 10 years ago accessibility was a thing and webs tried to work in most browsers, with different sizes, etc, but now it seems we are back to complex pages full of big boxes and videos, which don't work half of the time.

GOG, if you want me to know what are you releasing, and you want me to buy games, you are doing an awful job. News should be the most fast and easily read on the page. If I cannot know easily what's new, I'll end up not caring at all and just getting what I know is released. That's really bad business.

At the very least it should be above the 'discover games section' instead of the very bottom. Whoever came up with the current layout sure doesn't seem to know much about good web design.

^ What everyone else said. +1. Please, for the love of GOGs, bring back the news with text summary.

Another option is a user-configurable front page layout. Everyone's happy: they will see what they want to see in the way they want to see it.
