MarkoH01: It sure would but such a feature would also be more work and you woudl have to make a rule how long such games are considered to be new and since when they aren'tt anymore.
Easiest way would be to just unmark all marked games with every new update to the list, methinks.

Fairfox: Welp, back in teh day somebody pledged on Kickstarter for me, which was nice? Anyhoohar game redeemed on Steam... Connect... thang. Devs also sent a spesh. Kickstarter-backed GOGie key! But I already has it on Steam... Connect... thang nao, so on GOGie's service/library. GOGie are all "YO DAWG, WE WON'T TRADE IN CONNECT THANG FOR YOU" so I can't gift original key. GOG are, liek, so unhelpful naodays 'n' corporate, y'noticed? Anyhoohar I don't kno if I should give away Kickstarter edition or, liek, keep. If I use it it'll gobble-gobble teh original, rite? What a wasteee.
I'm getting better at understanding your messages (which I find hilarious anyway), but I'm not sure what you're asking here. So you got a Steam key with your Kickstarter pledge, as well as a GOG key, but then the game went on GOG connect, rendering your unredeemed GOG key moot, is that it? Well, I'd say there'd be no problem with you giving away your Kickstarter-originating GOG key, if that's what you want to do, unless that key is somehow different to whatever deal you got out of Connect. Or am I missing something here? What game are we talking about anyway? But yeah, I agree that present day GOG is looking less and less like Good Old GOG.

Gede: One more question: let us suppose that the music licensing problem was sorted out by replacing the offending music. What do you expect GOG will do then? Add the new version as a new game or update the old copies people already own with a new update?
The former, absolutely. Retroactively removing content from a previously purchased game is a huge no-no for me. It's happened before on Steam, and it sucks (I'd say it's also borderline ilegal if not ilegal outright). FWIW, GOG seems to have left former versions of pulled games untouched so far (that's the case for old Fallouts, IIRC).

It has happened on GOG too though.
Just one nom for today:

Tallima for Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption

True, but afaik after GOG has promised not to do that anymore they did not.
May I nominate goral for Albion?
Thanks for nominating me for The Witcher: Enhanced Version. Is there any way that I'll receive my game? =D

zeogold, I just tried to give someone one of my Mount & Blade gift codes and he said that the code had expired. I checked it and the other code I have and they are indeed showing up as expired. Could you check the donated Mount & Blade codes to find out if they are expired as well? I have a feeling they're also going to show up as expired.
May I ask for La-Mulana? Unless someone has taken it already.

Yes.
First, you must pass through the Trial of Flame, whereupon you will attempt to keep calm and not get baited in a political thread where mud is being thrown from all sides.
If you manage to survive, wipe yourself off and prepare for the Trial of Australia. Two angry midgets will kick you in the shins repeatedly and follow you around yelling insults and racist slurs. Attempt to shut them up, and they'll only get angrier, crying out about how they were wronged and you have committed a crime in daring to cease their badgering. The only way to stop them is to rush to the Tower of Insomnia, where the first of the Five Masters, Fables the Arbitrator, who will pick up both of them and place them into the Time-Out Pen of Judgement.
Next, you must face the Five Masters in order, and ascend the Tower of Insomnia. First, Fables the Arbitrator, who is a fearsome warrior capable of locking you in or out of the tower, but you can easily sneak past her if you wait until the weekend when she sleeps. Climbing up, you will find the corpse of Konrad the Valiant, who, upon seeing the gunshot wound in his head, you can easily defeat just by cutting off the strings attached to the limbs of his body. Continuing on, you will face Judas the Thief, who will flee upon realizing that he has been discovered and go place the body of Konrad the Valiant in the same dumpster as Ciris the Ghost. Next shall be Thiev the Commander, who can be defeated with either a critical blow to the stomach or a peace offering of cake. Last, at the floor below the roof, will be Johny the All-Seeing, expecting your arrival, typing out commands for your destruction while cackling evilly. Just ignore the dark atmosphere and scary music coming from the record player and unplug his laptop, and you should be fine.
At the top, you will find the abandoned rocket of Theodore Fourofourinski which you will use to ascend to the heavens, break away from the Tower of Insomnia, and reach the Galaxy of DRM-Free Goodness. You can choose not to go into this Galaxy, but only if you flip a switch hidden behind the 5th panel from the bottom, 22nd from the left, starting from the back wall, hidden behind a panel of glass which you need a particular type of cutter to break, which is contained within the false bottom of the top compartment. Of course, you'll have about 15 seconds to accomplish this before the rocket launches, so you're probably headed for the Galaxy anyways.
Be prepared on your trip, as you will be assaulted with swarms of bugs on your flight. Every time you're hit, your system notifications will go down, messages you attempt to send out for help won't send, and the pages of the manual that tell you how to fix it will mysteriously disappear for 10 minutes. You'll still probably survive, though.
Lastly, when you make it, you will float outside into the Galaxy (you can breathe in the dark matter of DRM-Free Goodness) and face the most fearsome of all...the Trial of Geralt, where you will be bombarded with no less than 20 Bathtub Geralt memes. If you haven't collapsed by the end of it, you shall go towards the light and be given your free game.

Or, if you want to do it the easy way, you could just say thanks to the donor and have fun playing.

Phah! You're right! They're all turning up expired!
What the heck happened? I don't remember them showing an expiration date...
I'll go through each one and check to see if any are salvageable. I'm going to hang onto all of them until I check with the staff first to make sure they were supposed to expire and this isn't some sort of error.

LaTaleFan1985, if you decide to go the hard way, remember to flip a switch hidden behind the 6th panel from the bottom, 21st from the left. Zeo is trying to trick you, he always do that! Open panel 5/22 as he said and you'll be doomed.

The rest of description is correct. What a wonderful story, isn't it? I always read it with bated breath. It reminds me my own way for my free game here.

Have you studied creative writing? Or are you a computer program designed to make everyone a fan of your humour, and then send everyone a PM of a shady download link that will deploy a virus that will take down the 'world mainframe' and destroy everything that it infects?
