I upgraded my standard version of Way of the Samurai 3 to the Deluxe Edition with this DLC, but GOG still doesn't want to recognize the Deluxe Edition as owned.

I mean these two are marked as owned:
https://www.gog.com/game/way_of_the_samurai_3
https://www.gog.com/game/way_of_the_samurai_3_deluxe_edition_upgrade

While this one is not:
https://www.gog.com/game/way_of_the_samurai_3_deluxe_edition

Is this how it should be or something went wrong?

I have The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition but GOG still tells me that I do not have The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

For many games having the different parts don't mark the complete edition as owned, and vice versa. It's a feature/bugfix that has been requested since time immemorial:

https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/goty_should_mark_main_game_and_dlcs_as_bought
https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/automatically_mark_collections_as_owned_if_the_pieces_are_owned
https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/mark_bundle_items_goldcomplete_editions_as_owned_if_base_game_and_the_dlcs_have_been_purchased

Completely normal for gog. They never managed to implement properly showing owned games when having different editions.

Unlike Steam, The Witcher 3 and The Witcher 3 - Game of the Year Edition are considered different games on GOG (they have separate entries in the library), while Way of the Samurai 3 - Deluxe Edition is just a bundle that contains the game and DLC. Well, thanks for the explanation!

Is there a way to manually mark it as owned by contacting support?

To be honest, I don't really want to bother support with this question (because I know they are overwhelmed right now), but if ponczo_ or SmollestLight suddenly visit this topic, I'd really appreciate an "official" answer! (:

As the other posters have mentioned, this behaviour is completely normal for GoG. The store doesn't show items as owned if you haven't purchased those items - so, if you buy Deluxe Edition, then usually the standard and upgrade won't show as owned. Similarly, if you buy the standard plus the upgrade, the Deluxe Edition doesn't flag as owned.

The only time it really causes an issue is during a sale - where you might not be paying enough attention to realise you already effectively own the Deluxe edition.

does it matter? i mean... youre already aware you own them. sho', itd be nice 'n' clean for it to be tagged as such, but outside of that, eh?

You just answered your own question.

It's not a big deal, but it would be nice to see it marked as owned since I own it. (:

i have inner wisdom, its true

an' fair enough
i think im just used to gogie's jankiness
its an imperfect system in an imperfect world

I can only "buy as gift" so the store seems to know I own it.

Great (but initially very confusing) game btw.

Did you also buy the game and the Deluxe Edition Upgrade DLC separately?

Welcome to 2013.

not sure. bagged it all (including 4 and its dlc) at the same time


Edit: either way what I see is different to you so it confirms or denies something wrong / right
You appear to have lost weight. Not enough Tuna fish? ;)

I don't know if it should be like that, but it just is. I have the same (upgraded WotS3 + upgrade) and the deluxe edition is not marked as owned.

The same with lots of other games, and sometimes it might be the opposite ie. I have bought the GOTY or Deluxe edition, and an upgrade (that my version contains) is not marked as owned.

Oh well, just have to remember and check what I already own, before purchasing something... Some kind of database glitch or "feature" in GOG. How many games do you have in GOG? 5? 7? 10 even?

When you have 2000+ games, it is not as easy to memorize each and every game and expansion that you have bought in the past.

Any words from the staff?
