GOG is getting user profiles 'very soon'


By Andy Chalk 25 minutes ago

GOG has added a trio of new privacy options to prepare for their arrival.

GOG has revealed that user profiles are on the way to its digital storefront, and to prepare for it three new privacy options have been added to the existing GOG account settings. The new options, available from the Privacy tab, enable visibility settings for games, friends, and your profile summary, each of which can be set to "everyone," "friends only," or "me only."

The site isn't saying much about the new profiles right now, "as we want you guys to experience it first-hand rather than reading some PR bla-bla," GOG PR guy elcook wrote on the site forum. "Before it all goes live and will be available for you, we need to deal with all the formalities—launching profiles means adding new privacy settings on our end. We want to give you a heads-up, and that’s why today we’ve introduced the three new privacy settings on your GOG account, all connected to the profiles."

Elcook said he was letting word of the officially-unannounced feature slip early because forum users are "the most dedicated" members of GOG's audience, and "are also the most sensitive for such changes." One element he did reveal is that users won't be able to toggle the visibility of individual games in their collections: "Unfortunately, it's either all or none," he wrote.

GOG didn't say when user profiles will make their debut, but they're expected "very, very soon." We'll let you know when they show up.

INTRODUCING GOG PROFILES

Activity Feed • Gameplay Stats • Personalization


We just introduced a new feature on GOG.COM: User Profiles – a social way to share what you and your friends are up to. See what your friends on GOG are playing, achieving, and sharing across four sections – Feed, Profile, Games and Friends.

Your Feed is the centerpiece of your Profile. Here, you’ll see which games your friends have been playing, all sorts of achievements and milestones, as well as general thoughts, screenshots, and forum activity. You can dispense your approval at whim and share your own stuff as well!

Your Profile is all about you and your gaming accomplishments. It's a summary of your activity, like the time you've spent in your games , your latest achievements (and just how rare they are among other users), as well as a glimpse at what your most active friends have been up to.

If you want to know more about your Games, you need to hit the the third tab. It contains a list of all the games you own on GOG, together with stats like time spent in-game and your progress towards unlocking the achievements. Sort the list, compare stats with your friends, and get some healthy competition going.

Finally – your Friends: get a general summary of their achievements and hours played. Here you'll also see which games are the most popular among your friends right now, so you can join them in multiplayer or find something you might enjoy yourself.

Of course, your profile comes with some sweet personalization options, choose a wallpaper from your game collection and share a few words with the world.

User Profiles are available for all GOG.COM users. Your personal gameplay stats like achievements, time played and milestones depend on GOG Galaxy, but if you’re not using the optional client you can still use the feed, post in it and interact with your friends.

Launching profiles also means adding new privacy settings on our end. You'll find three new Privacy options in your account's „Privacy & settings” area. These settings allow you to set the visibility for your profile summary, your games, your friends, etc.

So what are you waiting for? There's so much room for activities!

How is this :obviously:? It's some cuck's "clever" joke at people who dislike sjw-ism in games. Guy who made it also seems like a furfag so there's that. Furfag feminist cuck XD Or are you being ironic or some shit? Hard to even tell in this "current year" :/
I'm aware of his first sentence where he says it's a satire. Whether he's serious or it was just a safety measure so that his list wouldn't be deleted like mine is another matter (although judging by the titles on the list it is just a satire) but that doesn't change the fact that it's funny. As for :obviously: smiley, satire or not he's absolutely right that women would have no chance against men.

Do they have all the documentation with them? Spellcasting 201 alone had 5 different "manuals" that needed to be consulted to beat the game.

Baseline TA Kingdom is indeed a mess, and the campaign alternates some nice missions with a majority of tedium. The dev history of Kingdoms was a mess, though, and that explains much. I still like the love they kept in the lore and in the bell&whistles factor, like the narration and the overall art, but the game itself both in SP and MP is merely mediocre. It's a good one if you are a completionist in the genre, and the idea of having somewhat truly different factions in a TA-style game, plus the deeper focus on the Monarch, is a good one, merely badly executed.

The Iron Plague is a case study of a messed up expansion, though. The campaign is your typical 90ies "we're gonna build some of the most annoying and unbalanced missions known to Man because reasons" and the new faction, Creon, is a case study on how not to design a new faction: "Better Than Everything Else" is not a design choice, it's stupidity.

For 1 buck though, worth it. Not the best RTS of the end of the century, though

noticed this was on sale and just thought i would recommend it since it's on such steep discount. it's more action than RTS, but it has good difficulty, destructible environments, and is just genuinely fun. expect to spend like 20 minutes figuring out the controls tho
