nightcraw1er.488: How can you hide something if you don’t know they exist? You have to look through the list or look at the news items, and decide if they are interesting or not.
Randalator: You started out unnecessarily confrontational towards my attempt at civil discussion and now I get the feeling you are intentionally obtuse. Why is that?
I'm talking about increasing visibility for games that are relevant to my interests. On the front page there are ~50 games present, 45 of which I have abolutely zero interest in. Hiding these games frees up 45 slots for games I might be interested in. Especially games I might never have heard about and never have seen on the front page before. But as GOG learns what I'm not interested in, it increases the chance of showing me games that make me go "hang on, that looks really cool" and I'd either buy or at least put on my wishlist.
I bet you there are games among GOG's 3000-ish titles that would be right up my alley, but I have never seen or heard about them because they get buried under 2800-ish titles I couldn't care less about. Every game I'm able to hide get's me closer to those games and GOG closer to a sale they wouldn't otherwise get.
That’s a fair point, but what you are asking for is two things. One for GOG to clear up what is undoubtedly a total mess of a front page, of which I never look at other than the news section right at the bottom. And some sort of learning algorithm, or filtering to give you more of what you would like. Either way it means GOg putting some effort in, which they won’t do, and if they did they would break it. I am simply suggestion, do the opposite of what you intend to get the same result. Add things to your wish list, once you have a good list, you can look at those and see recommendations for other games.
As for th other ramble, take it with a pinch of salt, the forums just seem to be more and more nasty each week and it gets annoying after a while.
