It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

At some point Firefox introduced a new feature, that redirects manually typed urls to https (SSL) connection if it is present in the browsers history. And gog.com now only accepts SSL connections on secure.gog.com domain.

To fix this problem you have to remove any items in your browsers history that contain "https://www.gog.com"

Hi Venom. I was wondering - wouldn't it make sense to have the https://www.gog.com server return an HTTP 301 header instead of simply breaking the connection? I'd expect that would fix the problem for everyone with the old HTTPS address in their browser histories without them having to do anything.
