I thought they were brilliant, and let you find interesting titles or make you consider playing a game which otherwise didn't seem interesting or had bad reviews.

Does anyone know why did GOG delete them, instead of keeping them and just not letting new ones be created?

And does anyone have screenshots or links to some that could be viewed via the Internet Archvie/Wayback Machine? :)

Some gogmixes put to light bad publishers and bad games.
Publishers didn't like it, so GOG removed those gogmixes.

I pretty much doubt it. In all the years the GOGmixes existed they only ever deleted one (!), because the publisher was already insulted in the name of the mix.

It was probably the same as many other things and features on the site. Code was old and buggy and no one was left who knew how to fix it when they revamped the sit (or it was too much work).

It's sad that they are gone and there is no replacement, but that's no reason for conspiracy theories.

What was the name of the deleted GOGmix?

Beamdog something.

I don't really remember the name, but it was insulting Beamdog.

Beamdog is the parasite of the industry

GOG's response to the removal of mixes here:

Oh... Sad thing, really. My most beloved ones, were:

Diablo clones. A russian bro compiled a huge-ish list, full to the brim with descriptions, on all diablo-like titles, even remotely close or lightly irrelevant, to its gameplay.

Games that treat GOG customers like second class citizens. Useful feedback, regarding the condition of admittedly many games, round here. There is a thread here somewhere, that closely attempts to replicate this gog-mix of old.

Beamdog is the parasite of gaming. A personal favorite, really. This is simple. You get all of the old games (before the merging cashgrab) and completely disregard the horribly twisted, re-iterations.

I miss them too. They had pics and had been a very effective, easy to use, quick-referrence aide. They probably won't return, though. Some of them were heralded as being "toxic", or spreading negativity and bad publicity. But hey, we still have forum threads, lol!
