Can we just not have Facebook anything on GOG? It's great that GOG is against DRM, but I'd argue the privacy violations of FB are far more egregious as an anti-consumer practice.

lmao next thing you know GOG is gonna start taking payments only using Facebooks stupid cryptocurrency they're trying to push through.

Rock the vote peeps. This is a call to remove Zuckr Fukr (Dark Lord of the Web) from our gaming launcher : )

Out of my own experience, I kind of advise against making wishlist entries like this for the simple reason that most people are lazy fucks and a cause that should get 1000s of votes will be stuck at 30something votes for all eternity.

Also, with gog now habitually ignoring wishlist entries that have 1000+ votes, it will become increasingly difficult to convince people to actually vote.

Regardless, I put in my vote. I hope you can get more people to add theirs. Facebook can go rot in hell.

So no resolution to the problem, and it has been nearly two days now.
Are the GOG staff simply not interested in fixing such a glaring problem?
Also why is there such a lack of communication from their side?

While they are creating such a hype with the announcement of Galaxy 2.0, the inability to fix such problems, or even communicate effectively about it, does not inspire much confidence about the platform.

Why would it be any less broken than the website is?
Doesn't that diminish your security, like using the same pass on multiple accounts?

Couldn't have put it better myself.
I know that Galaxy is 100% optional but that doesn't mean I don't want to use it. I do want to use it. But, Facebook integration, optional or not, is a one-way ticket to Nope Town with me for Galaxy.

It appears that the Facebook redirect to browser problem is no longer happening here for me. Not enough testing of it to conclusively declare it as fixed or not though. From searching the forums it appears this problem comes up from time to time so I'm hesitant.

Either way, it appears to be asleep for now.

Yes, the nature of single sign-on as a technology is a compromise of gaining convenience at the expense of security. That is why it is generally offered as an option to people rather than something mandatory they have to use. The customer or web site visitor gets to decide for themselves whether they prefer the convenience of single sign-on, or the security of having separate logins on every website and maintaining them all.

I prefer separate logins almost everywhere, but there are some sites where you kind of are forced to use single sign-on, such as steamgifts for example.

I don't have a problem with GOG offering single sign-on feature on their website though as it is not an uncommon feature and nobody is forced to use it. It would be nice if any features added to the site or modified/changed in any way over time end up getting more internal and private external test coverage before being rolled out to the entire customer base though. IMHO the problem here isn't that GOG allows single sign-on with Facebook, or anything to do with Facebook at all, but rather that untested code or configuration or whatever got rolled out to everyone without enough quality/stability testing.

At the end of the day stuff happens though despite one's best intentions so they don't deserve to be raked over the coals for it either. :) I do hope that they make internal contingency plans for these things when they happen though and put measures in place to try to assure that the same problems can't occur again in the future. We all make mistakes after all, but if we can avoid making them more than once then that is a good thing. :)

Yes, seems to be fixed. Received reply from Support.
