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!

vanchann: An absolutely unwanted addition for me. I don't use social networks either.
I've already set my privacy settings, so that nothing will be shared.

I'd also like to agree with all other users, who think that full privacy should have been the default.
This was an automatic "uncheck everything" for me, as well. I have enough unwanted profiles online without having another one here. And why isn't "appear offline" an option?

That's not an option. There are still things that are shared even with the most restrictive settings.

GOG.com: ...
I asked it already of elcook in the warning thread he made, I'll ask it here again: please make the default setting 'only me' for everything. And 'now hidden', of course.

People who actually want a profile are also exactly the people who will activate their profile. Because they want it. But if you set information about people to public without their consent, that is not OK.


And if you refuse to set the Privacy settings to private by default, at least explain why? What does GOG gain from setting information of their users to public by default? And why is that gain more important to you than the privacy of your customers?
Profiles are fine, not very practical but not ugly either. Though no points for poor privacy management.
Love the new profiles. Excellent job, GOG!

Now make them a central hub for all the settings, friend management, chat, etc. and then get rid of the legacy pages for these features. Also, once a friend is removed, make sure that their stuff is retroactively removed from one's timeline.

Oh and another thing! For these privacy features:

* Your Profile page including activity and active friends can be seen by
* Your full game library can be seen by
* Your full list of friends can be seen by

Please add an option for "everyone on the Internet". Right now it seems only GOG users can see my profile, but what if I want to link it to someone who isn't on GOG?

but... but... sniff sniiffff sob sob... you are SUPPOSED to want to befriend every member here of the happy GOG users family !

how could you... sob sob... how could, no, how DARE you be... SO MEANIE !?

(a sparkle of sarcasm subty slipped into this last post... will you find it ?)
So what exactly can you see on these profiles if everything is set to private? I just checked tinye's one and can see nothing (probably thankful of that), but there was some talk about games owned and things being shown even if private. Can't seem to see everything on mobile so would be good to know.

Djaron: my current problem is that even with everything set to "me only" / private, the number of owned games is still displayed to everyone in my profile

i would have sent a support ticket but i'm pretty sure it is intended and there is no solution or workaround to that.
the number of games being the total number, even those i may have hidden for clarity sake in my library

i'm very disappointed and upset by all this !
Thanks for the info.

Tested that by clicking on your prifile link.
So, this will be true for all profiles! I don't like it either!

I'm going to send a support ticket too!

Click on mine.
also, from now on, GOG, with your despicable decision of making every privacy settings default as "public", i really hope you'll stop the habit of resetting said settings here and there as you already does several time.

i'll grant that the benefit of the doubt and would want to believe those resets happened due to technical rush, clumsyness or carelessness...

but now you willingly made this decision for everyone here, forcing people's default to be all public AND at same time going in bed with FB ogre for some of its leftovers and few spare coppers... you have bigger responsability and legal liability to NOT let such accidental resets ever happening again

see, i said "accidental" by pure courtesy, though

We need far more granularity on the privacy settings. I'm locking them down.

I want people to be able to see my achievements/etc, but I don't want them to see *when*. Or have game time logs... I don't want Galaxy to track "hours played" (and I want to clear the data already there), and I certainly don't want that displayed.

And that you don't use Galaxy, 0 achievements and 0 hours played
