Didn't want to push this to support as it's not really a bug report, and it would probably end up in someone's tickets, making him/her uncomfortable with no real resolution.

I thought I'd get used to the website's new layout after a while. People don't usually like change, and I thought I was experiencing that.
The store's still fine. In fact, it may even be better than before.
The individual game pages however, not quite so much. Sure, I get the mobile-first approach.
But you've made everything so BIG. Maybe analytics showed that you got most hits from a phone or a tablet, I don't know. However on pages like "Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales" where you have 6 images in the description, It now takes me quite a few revolutions of the scroll wheel to get to the reviews, or any useful information like the System requirements and OS support.
-------------------------------
And It's & nbsp; all
very spaced out.
-------------------------------
The dashboard. Again, too big.
The carousel is fine, the "On sale" items are fine, I like the "Discover" section.
The "Curated collections" are a bit useless. It's as if I just went and filtered on a category.
And the News section... Well, I used to read those believe it or not :)
When I usually saw the "Sale" one especially (weekly or weekend) it was an instant click for me.
It was a surprise to find it at the bottom of the page now, it seems almost brushed away, irrelevant.
I found that not many of them managed to keep my attention with just 3-5 words overlaid on an image tile.
I often forget to log in and check for those these days, I don' reach the bottom of the page most of the time, so I usually rely on emails to remind me about stuff like that as well.
Guess what? The newsletter has started to go into my Junk folder. And I've not done that myself.
I think enough people on Outlook have decided to just junk it rather than unsubscribing, it ended up on a blacklist or something.
And I get it. New Witcher game. Gwent.
...but I didn't expect that landing page.
Well, It's been a while. I don't think I can get myself to like it :/

Originally I was only going to write about the e-mail issue but as I started writing I realized there are more things bothering me than just that one.
Sorry guys.
