UPDATE: We've added a new option to the Privacy settings in GOG Profiles - from now on you can turn off your profile on GOG entirely, so no one can see any kind of information that is shown on the profile page. This also means that when you turn off your profile, you won’t be visible on your friends’ friends lists, even if they decide to keep their profiles visible.
The option to enable/disable your GOG Profile can be found in your account „Privacy & Settings” options, under „Privacy” tab.



We just introduced a new feature on GOG.COM: User Profiles – a social way to share what you and your friends are up to. See what your friends on GOG are playing, achieving, and sharing across four sections – Feed, Profile, Games and Friends.

Your Feed is the centerpiece of your Profile. Here, you’ll see which games your friends have been playing, all sorts of achievements and milestones, as well as general thoughts, screenshots, and forum activity. You can dispense your approval at whim and share your own stuff as well!

Your Profile is all about you and your gaming accomplishments. It's a summary of your activity, like the time you've spent in your games , your latest achievements (and just how rare they are among other users), as well as a glimpse at what your most active friends have been up to.

If you want to know more about your Games, you need to hit the the third tab. It contains a list of all the games you own on GOG, together with stats like time spent in-game and your progress towards unlocking the achievements. Sort the list, compare stats with your friends, and get some healthy competition going.

Finally – your Friends: get a general summary of their achievements and hours played. Here you'll also see which games are the most popular among your friends right now, so you can join them in multiplayer or find something you might enjoy yourself.

Of course, your profile comes with some sweet personalization options, choose a wallpaper from your game collection and share a few words with the world.

User Profiles are available for all GOG.COM users. Your personal gameplay stats like achievements, time played and milestones depend on GOG Galaxy, but if you’re not using the optional client you can still use the feed, post in it and interact with your friends.

Launching profiles also means adding new privacy settings on our end. You'll find three new Privacy options in your account's „Privacy & settings” area. These settings allow you to set the visibility for your profile summary, your games, your friends, etc.
So what are you waiting for? There's so much room for activities!

We get it - some people need to live a life in public:

But not all of us share that need.

If you have no problems with going public, that's nice...go on, nobody here's stopping you.

But we like to have the option to not go public (and now we have that option again - after our complaining) , so - thank you very much for not understanding.

Pangaea666: [...] An extra problems arose as well. Struggled for a whole day to sign into GOG (hence the late reply) because they are leeching onto Google's privacy invasion with captcha and suchlike. Had to temporarily unblock the bastards in a separate window. [...]
In some rare cases I didn't get a CAPTCHA after I changed my IP. That only worked one or twice though.

Another piece of experienced based advice for backing up your GOG library: Add some extra labels to the filenames or use additional subfolders. Some installers in different languages still have names like "setup_gamemame_en_2.0.1". I've noted the crazy GOG version numbering scheme where available, since I would never be able to retrieve (or work out) those numbers.
There seems to be a great tool under Linux (of course) that not only downloads your library for you but also adds these and other bits of information automatically. Unfortunately I've forgotten the name of it because my brain is too busy remembering stuff like the names of trolls with multiple accounts, cultural information I've learned through KoL or the list of companies that have wronged me in the past and how...

It if fine to have the option to be private but with how people were talking to the GoG workers was immature. We had people telling them to shut the fuck up and often times these are the same people who are never happy with what work the company has done to bring games to us.

GOG is turning into the same disease it was against when it was still called Good Old Games and why I actually registered here and escaped from steam. Time to download all my installers and goodies and try to stop visiting the place. The social media shittiness is in Steam, why do you need it here?

lillywaters: easy you report it just like any other social media... kinda a given in today's world. This is social media sites 101 education grandpa.
Okay: By what means? There's no obvious way to do so on the actual profile, and the support tickets could take a while to resolve.

Care to link to these people?
Because I haven't seen these posts.
(Not saying, there are no such posts at all, but I'm having a hard time, believing, that it was the case in this thread)

If the support tickets is all you got that is what you work with. Facebook can easily take up to 2- 7 days for reports...however, to me it seems most of the community is more focus on the gaming than turning this into a tumblr

Thank you gog, I understand that some people don't mind and want the profile feature, so having the opt out option is a good change

You are more than welcome to look through 92ish pages of stuff but it was early on if I remember right. And it even had a few up votes as well. The main thing is yes it is new yes they are working on trying to make profiles ok for everyone's taste but we shouldn't be lashing out at the people who are giving us the updates.

lillywaters: we shouldn't be lashing out at the people who are giving us the updates.
I agree with that.
Apart from that, I made it a policy of mine, not to go searching for evidence, if the person who claims certain incidents happened, won't provide said evidence herself.
It's usually a waste of time.
