StormHammer: It would be good to see a Top 25 on the Wishlist, and a general clean-up to remove duplicate entries as there seem to be quite a few of those. I think it would also be advantageous to be able to sort the list according to number of votes, (so you could, for example, get a snapshot of the top 100 most wanted) and by game date, so you can weed out more recent titles that are unlikely to appear on GOG any time soon.
Extending the most wanted list and sorting options are good ideas. In addition to those, I was thinking the following:
- Take the most popular candidates from the wishlist at the moment (100-200 titles for example)
- Put up a voting (maintaining already received votes of course) that anyone who would like to have the game in gog-selection AND would be willing to buy it, could vote the game
- After this those 100-200 titles would get "frozen" and new 100-200 titles selected to be voted. The already voted, frozen game titles would appear on a separate list so that gog administrators could stay on track what games have been voted already making duplicates in voting impossible
The weaknesses in this is, that are there enough willing people to join continuous votings (though I don't know if the amount of voting would get very high because the most popular games would probably come up quickly)
The people of gog could also get quicker the information about probably good-selling titles and aim their efforts better.
