What's with the weird new interface? How can I display my games as rows on shelves? How do I even download them anyway? There used to be links if I clicked on a game, but now there's just nothing! And why does it say "Achievements" and "Hours played"? How could it even know anything other than when I download it?

Hoover over your name in the top menu and click "games". The shelves are still there :).
Oh, good! Why is it that if I click my account and then click the games link in that, it goes to a new, weird, totally different page?

That's your new Profile page...

What? Don't you always look at yourself in the mirror before playing a game? Apparently GOG thinks so about it's customers. Either that, or GOG wants to encourage it's customers to simply appreciate what they bought rather than download their purchases (less load on their servers).

Who buys a game to download it? Why would anyone visit the GOG website for any other reason than to participate in "activities" for the Activity Feed? That's why that link is more sensible than the Account page for the account name in the top menu.

At least, that's what I keep trying to remember to tell myself so I'll remember why it is now the way it is now. It was not my intent to spend money to only chat on a game forum rather than download my purchases. Nevermind whether that would describe my experiences with the GOG website in the slightest. What matters is my intent of making use of my purchases, not my denial.

I'd appreciate that link be reverted back to the link to my games library so I can more readily download my purchases rather than just admire a list of them, nor get a 404 error since I chose to disable that useless past reflection of forgettable activity and profile. I make my own notes of what's worthwhile to me, and so a lot more useful that automated recording and temperature readouts.

haven't popped in for a while and was completely abashed by the very same problem. thought for a while all my DLs have gone lol.

Anyway whatever this 'new profile' thingy is, why the heck GOG won't let us get our games from there? or at least have a link to the proper shelf around?
Yet the only link which is prominently displayed takes me to the store where it even says that the title is OWNED, yet still doesn't let me just DL it... only purchase... again... the answer kinda pops itself...

anyway dirty tricks or not it's stupid. and the interface is laggy as fcuk. thank u gog hope you get a 300% increase in income with this completely unneeded redundant unusable and confusing thingamabob. biz ppl know better eh?
