Yepoleb: [...] there are a ton of more interesting things to do that actually contribute something to the gaming environment.

HypersomniacLive: Out of curiosity, can you give a few examples?
GOG related: Add more games to GOG DB, add depot data to GOG DB, write a depot downloader, index linux installer and write a depot-like downloader for them, assemble a community/Linux Galaxy SDK.
Not GOG related: Write modding tools for Saints Row and reverse engineer file formats, implement file formats for Team Fortress 2, improve my general purpose texture codecs, test games for Wine.

BTW I finished the userscript (screenshot included), but it needs some images from the development version of GOG DB and I probably won't bother to backport them. Please give a feedback on location, design.

Another example: make Simon the Sorcerer (English version) support voice and subtitle at the same time.

Looks good for me.

Looks nice! :) I'd suggest putting the button below "wishlist" button and even separate it with a line, or changing background color (would be more visible then!).

I'd prefer it placed along with the other links, but that's probably just me.

Thanks, I will try that next time!

I thought about that at first, but that's not where GOG put their external links. So I had the choice of putting it where other userscripts do or follow the GOG style of using buttons. But the script isn't meant for people who use these big extensions anyway, they should include their own link in my opinion. I haven't done any major URL restructures apart from the domain, so the code is pretty much write and forget.

I'm finally thinking about removing the content system compatibility changelog entries because they've proven to be so terribly unreliable that they've become pretty much meaningless to me. If you still have a use for them please leave a comment so I may be able to take it into account when removing the feature.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
What is content system compatibility changelog entries?

The most important 2 parts of gogdb.org for me:
1. https://www.gogdb.org/changelog
2. https://www.gogdb.org/products

The entries that look like "Changed content system compatibility - windows,mac,linux ⇒ windows,mac"
Example: https://www.gogdb.org/product/1922333849#changelog

Like what you said, they are highly unreliable.
1 vote to remove it.

This doesn't affect the installer OS category, right? It's just extra info.
More data is often useful, but if those descriptions are hopelessly wrong.. ok, remove them.

Yes, only these specific changelog entries will be gone.

Bug report:
Some games have obvious wrong price before launch, like $99.99 or $0.00.

It make the graph less informative, and hard to recognize record low price (record high discount).
For example, Simon the Sorcerer 1 & 2: 25th Anniversary Edition.

Does this look like how you envisioned it?
