Jeez, this is one hell of a situation allright. It's like a 2010 forum situation right here

tfishell: Cyberpunk2077 release fiasco (assuming GOG's relationships with publishers suffered, even though the state of the game wasn't GOG's fault),

Maybe it was unfair to include that. However...

Somebody here suggested that if 2077 had better received initially, GOG might have an easier time getting AAA titles here because publishers would have been interested in having their games on the same store with such a prestigious title.

Likewise, iirc we got Horizon Zero Dawn a few months before 2077 released and nothing from Sony since then. Now, that may just have been because sales on GOG weren't good enough for them, but remember that there were mass refunds for console versions (or at least PS4) of the games. That may have soured (or been a part in souring) Sony on working again with GOG.

In any case, I'll try to stay on-topic. Something to combat spam would of course be nice, I'm just not getting my hopes up.
There are some posts between bots. We're under attack!

There is not effective method to stop this bullshit from happening other than closing this place down I guess.

But this is all speculation. You might for example think that Ghostwire: Tokyo has a chance to be on GOG because Bethesda finally released Skyrim here. They added Denuvo to the game though.
Wow. Spam is getting singificantly worse by the day... isn't really a way to transfer user accounts to a proper website?
Wow, 8 pages (50 post/page) of pure spam,- Well done GOG, well done! O.o

so what now?
Now 14 pages of spam.
For your consideration, How to filter out spam threads and "adult" games.
There is so much almost cripplingly wrong with the actual store right now, that even with the hilarious amount of spam the forum is far from being a priority in terms of things that have to change.

Tested and it works as intended.
Thank you once again Ice_Mage!
I guess I'll be back on the forum on Monday when someone is on deck to clean this hot mess.

We should have a non-profit that identifies scammers and spammers and ddos them out of existence. I'd donate.
I'm done with these fora. GOG doesn't care enough to keep it up or replace it with something functional and secure. I just can't. The excessive spam is Bush league and I think a professional company should present themselves professionally.

Look up Pierogi, Jim Browning, and Kitboga.

They teamed up with Mark Rober and some international police to take out phone scammers.

Joke's on you, this Monday is a holiday in Poland. So is this Wednesday by the way, so most people take a day off on Tuesday for Maximum Weekend.
