Hi, guys!
I have just registered at GOG and I have to say that the concept amazes me and I am willing to fully support it, which means buying games from now on at GOG only (if available). What made me make that decision is the launch of the GALAXY client (or its beta), which could grow to a great alternative to Steam. When visiting the site and the forum, I noticed there were some things missing (for my taste) which, when added/implemented, could add to the comfort of the user/customer and thus attract more people to join the GOG community. Before listing my suggestions, let me beg you guys to share your opinions and suggestions to make GOG or the Galaxy client even better. What do you think?

My suggestions:
- symbols for games, which represent features the games support (e.g. controller support, achievements, etc.)
- tags for games, so they can be filtered for more than the genre (e.g open world, crafting, etc.)
- more categories in the forum to make it more structured (e.g. ideas/suggestions, troubleshooting, off topic, etc.)
- (optional) cloud saving for the Galaxy client
- a friends-list (which carries over to the Galaxy client), so you can, for example, filter for forum topics your friends have created

You can post feature requests at the gog galaxy wishlist :-)

Less talk, more rock!

thank you, moonshineshadow. this thread can be closed now (as it is obsolete).

Seamless iteration of a Hamachi like service within Galaxy with matchmaking for older titles

You can add people as your friends already! That is on it's way already. Some of the games that have it is Rise of Triads (2013-version), Alien Versus Predator 2000 and The Witcher Adventure Game.

This is a months-old thread that mriguy dug up. The OP is from early May. See post #2.

timey wimey stuff

Ugh, how do people even find these old threads? >_>

Combining forum search & lack of attention to post dates. ;)
Don't feel bad, I got fooled a week or two ago, too.
