Has nothing to do with banned/geoblocked games/DLCs, whatever.

Once again: the total numbers are artificially blown up.

And even more so, if you want to know the number of actual games in the store (without all the unnecessary fluff).

If you click on --> Store --> Browse all games, the top of the page says something like: PC games/All Games (~10.000), right?

But that's not the correct number of games in the store, because:

1) it also contains DLCs and extras
2) it also contains multiple listings of the same game(s)

So, even by checking the "Hide DLCs and extras" box, you don't get shown the correct number of games in the store.

Because many games are listed multiple times (some examples - once again):

- Game X Standard Edition
- Game X Special Edition
- Game X Special Edition Upgrade
- Game X Collector's Edition
- Game X Collector's Edition Upgrade
- Game X DEMO/Prologue
- Game X (Bundle)
- Game X Standalone OST

You would have to count all the extra entries, and then subtract them from the number shown, to get the true number of games in the store.

See attachment for a small example: it shows seven (7) games...but 16 entries for these seven games (and that's AFTER the "Hide DLCs and extras" box was checked).

Well, the OP said "deals", I said "items". The number of actual separate games is something entirely different, and unlikely to be reached in the foreseeable future.

I am aware of that.
Notice, which words of the quotes in my last post I have bolded.

Timboli (the user, you replied to) was talking about games.
And the caption, GOG is using on top of the store page, is: "PC games/ All Games", respectively "Showing xxxx games".

I even put a screenshot of that in my last post.

I don't know about plenty, but there are a few.

In any case, as has been indicated I was talking purely about games, not items or deals.

Some folk were confusing the type of celebration, and really I cannot see 10,000 deals being worth celebrating over in any case.

But hey, each to their own.

More like a few hundred.

233 entries to be exact.

If that is an up-to-date legit list of games then you are right I guess, and I had no idea there was so many.
I've just been going by what I have seen advertised in the store.
I'm only personally aware of about ten or so games banned to me at GOG.

I'll see if I can get any titles, because it is pretty meaningless as is, and a lot of those could be DLCs etc.

Okay, that's the first ten.
I note many of them say UNRATED.
One is a patch it seems, one doesn't exist, and one is incorrect (Mad Max), because I have it, and got it normally.

I am guessing that list gets added to but might never (or rarely) get updated with changes, so is out-of-date.

Anyway, thanks for the interesting exercise. I had no idea you could check such.
I might investigate further, to see what I am missing out on, but not much so far.

That's actually GOG's list, retrieved via API, so it's as up to date as it gets, what you see is what GOG's server returns at the moment you check. However, entries may be left there after games get delisted or their IDs get changed, so the number is higher than the real number of banned titles. So better to check via GOGDB, https://www.gogdb.org/product/GAMEID (which shows an invalid entry for that one that GOG lists as Mad Max, real gameid for Mad Max is 1296467424).
Just checked ten random IDs, ended up with 2 invalid, 2 NSFW games, five "unrated" patches for other NSFW games, and Saints Row IV: Re-Elected.

Yeah I understood that was the case, but not fully legit, if it isn't pruned when it should be, because it is misleading.

And AUS is a stickler for the rules, so if a game is Unrated, I guess we miss out until it is rated and passes muster.

Anyway, you made your point, and there is certainly a lot more than I realized.

I'm lucky enough to have been gifted some of the better ones ... just a small number.

Is 10.000 games the limit of the gog database? Because in the search it says always 10.000 games of 10.0xx games listed. Curious.

Jpolgesek said that catalog pagination is limited to 10k products.

Remember when it was 2k, and then 5k I think. Maybe they'll fix this too... Though it is hard to think of someone who would actually browse through 10000 games, so the issue becomes that there are some sorting options that don't have the reverse, namely bestselling and rating, so if you can't jump to the end of the list you can't see worst selling and, maybe more notably for the sake of curiosity, worst rated.
