greetings

seriously, it starts to go past the level of annoying, for me, at its current rate...

i get many friends invites from people i dont know a dime about, that i never interacted with, chated with, played with, whatever... on gog

is this the kind of new "improved user experience" gog.com wants to puch on customers/users ? because if it's their vision of a community, sorry pals but you got it wrong: harassment, spamming and wasting people time are not the good elements to create a good user experience

(that and the still lack of a "hide owned games" filter on the sotre page, which makes browsing the storepage - especially during sales - a tedious and painful waste of time to ever be allowed to find one purchase to validate)

i heard that this current stream of "spamming friend requests" stuff was because of a new galaxy feature ?
seriously ? i already refused from all the fibers of my being to use this client, and even if i dont use it i would have to suffer from its damn side effects (like installation bugs for games, crashes at launch for games and now notification spamming) ?

the hell with the "user experience"

In an interesting instance of causality reversal and general confusion, the answer to your question already exists as a separate question thread.

Precicely! I'm getting inundated with friend requests out the wazoo. Only a very small number of them are names I even recognize. I think I've accepted like 3 of them or so, and the rest I simply don't recognize. They might be people I spoke to once 3 years ago, or someone I've never spoken to that sees my name in the forums or something. I have no idea, but I don't need 5000000000 "friends" anywhere ever for any reason. It's getting ridiculous.

I just disabled online chatting, disabled my wishlist, disabled anything else that could possibly be disabled. What's worse is there is a checkbox in account settings to disable the ability for someone to search for you by your account name or email address, which this new "Friend Suggestion" feature just completely ignores.

I'm just blindly clicking DECLINE on all friend requests from everyone from now on, I don't care who they are whether they're the best person in the world, whether they want to give me 5000 $80 games as a gift or whatever the reason may be.

At the present time I want a checkbox in my account settings that reads as follows:

[x] Please let me be a hermit that nobody can find or know even exists. Thanks. Clearly the answer to the question is for everyone that is annoyed by this to not only start one new thread, but to start 500 new threads.

The squeaky wheel gets the oil.

SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK.
