GOG, that green background you've got up right now for the Spring Sale is just perfect for night viewing.

Please make something similar to that a permanent option.

Timboli: Not silly at all, and it is about more than just DRM-Free. If someone wants a game and GOG have it on sale, but Steam or Epic etc currently don't, then that could be a purchasing factor as well.
Yeah no, that's not how it works at all for most people in practice, if someone has an steam account, they'll try to buy all of their games there, in fact a lot of steam users avoid GOG simply because they already use steam, not because they have anything against GOG or love DRM

It's just more convenient to stick to one platform
Yeah, GOG is never going to compete with Steam on price. Preservation, old games running on modern systems I could see, but not price. No chance.
Just prefer the old design from some time ago:)

Nah, that's how it worked years ago, all a bit different now.

Epic for one, have made sure of that, plus GOG with exclusives, and a good number of younger folk are far more flexible, and sales price can often be everything.

So you are really only talking about the old Steam diehards, which are for sure a huge number, but there would also be a large number who aren't like them, who don't necessarily care about DRM-Free, but do like to shop around, try other things.

P.S. Just like many don't stick to old Netflix, but often have Prime instead of or as well as ... and some others.

Time4Tea: Eh ... if GOG's main selling point isn't DRM-free, I have no idea what it is then.

Timboli: For you and me maybe, but I'm not sure we aren't in the minority.
If you are, then I'm there with you. :) I will never buy from Steam because of the DRM, and particularly because of the online-requirement DRM. As I've said elsewhere, I will NEVER give my money to a game that requires me to be online to play. I mostly prefer single player games, and my gaming computer currently has no internet access. If I am not actively playing against/with other gamers, there is no reason for me to have to be online, and I refuse to reward companies that require it. THAT makes me a minority, but luckily GOG caters to my requirements.

Timboli: It's not silly to imagine a lot of GOG customers aren't using GOG properly.
This just made me literally laugh out loud. ;)

00063: Agree, GoGs website is an absolute clusterfuck! Luckily this still works.
Interesting link, thanks for sharing.

altk: Dear GoG devs, you've thorougly enshittified the landing page. It's so difficult to find relevant new releases that I don't even bother. The banners are full of useless promos/info, game lists populated by dlc-s, soundtracks, etc by default.

If this is an attempt to follow the supermarket tactics of confusing the uses by misplacing products, let me tell you, it fails. The time I spend on GoG is shorter and shorter.

In hope you change your ways. Adios.
It certainly could use some improvements, but to call it hideous, is a bit much.

GOG has improved quite a bit over the past couple of years (though they did go backwards in a few cases) and I love the look of the new Dreamlist.

Also, it a bit funny, but I actually now use the "On sale now" link at the top, to go to the sale page to sort my Wishlist instead of through the Wishlist page. Makes it so much easier now to filter by price, discount, A to Z, etc. Which is something you can't do with your regular wishlist, where you only filter "Discounted" and some fixed prices.

Take a good look at Nasty Nancy Pelosi or Joyl(less) Behar if you want to see something truly hideous.
