bobsp: A captcha for sign in? That's very annoying... Not sure I will log in often with this.
I've been on gog for several years. I tried Galaxy a while back and used it, but at some stage I deleted it. Frankly I don't remember why, maybe I had some problem back then and did not want to mess with it. Or maybe it was because I changed computers and was not buying games for a while.
Anyway, I just downloaded the latest version and tried it. I was very unhappy to see the photo captchas being used. This is the most irritating login method I have ever seen. If the photos were somewhat clearer, and if I was not being asked to jump through multiple stages of this process, I would not mind so much.
But just now I am still trying to get past these captchas, and I'm already done wasting my time. I refuse to use a feature that insults me with images that are hard to make out, and wastes my time. So I'm giving up and uninstalling Galaxy. If I read on this forum that this particular captcha method is no longer used, I will try Galaxy again.
BTW I am using the same computer and the same email I have used recently to order and download a bunch of games the old-fashioned way.
At least gog.com does not force me to use Galaxy. If it ever does, I will stop buying games here. (I have bought quite a few). Of course if there is ever a requirement to be connected online to install a game, or play in single-player mode, this is another deal breaker.
Meanwhile, I am getting ready to buy some more games for the holidays. :)
