Sude: LGOGDownloader 3.17
- Removed --dlc-list and --use-dlc-list options
V4V: Why were those options removed? Just curious, because I couldn't find anything about it in the closed issues or pull requests.
Because it was kind of a useless feature.
Initially I made it to solve a problem that didn't really need solving.
Getting more details when getting game names from account page for games that were on the list.
The main reason for getting the details earlier was to make --list show dlcs in the output.
The biggest issue with the feature was that the list needed to be updated manually.
The last time I updated the list was 8 years ago.
Well technically I automated most of it but then GOG changed some stuff and I didn't bother updating the scripts I used.
The list wasn't really needed anyway because lgogdownloader already had a feature that could do the same job.
dlc-list was a feature that automated usage of --ignore-dlc-count option by leveraging the blacklist format lgogdownloader uses instead of cli regex or game specific config files.
Unless one used a list they updated themself or used an updated list provided by someone else then they were better off using --ignore-dlc-count ".*" instead of dlc-list for the past 8 years.
