2017-02-01 - Makeover of GOG's support center

Which now seems to require:

1. A separate login in.
2. Allow zendesk.com, zdassets.com, cloudflare.com, and bootstrapcdn.com, otherwise no support for you, and no access to GOG's Policies and General Info.

Seriously, GOG? Such a big change should have been properly announced by GOG, but no surprise that it hasn't.

Also no surprise that the copyright at the bottom of the page says 2016.

And they still haven't added a category for refunds (while they have some for rather obscure problems).

No more broken support links for unbundled games, I'm shocked!

Oh, yeah. I remember seeing the new layout about a month ago on some pages. No idea what I did to make those appear, though.

Hmmm... I've browsed it for a while and I only had to allow scripts from zdassets for the content to show correctly (and scripts and frames from zendesk to be able to log in). Unless I'm missing something, one can safely block cloudflare and bootstrapcdn on support.gog.com

PS: I don't understand why there is a separate login, although it apparently uses the same as on the store (and it seems to auto-login if you're already logged in there)

On second inspection, I noticed some worrying things (for me, at least). There are now profiles? And followers? And subscribers? Also, on the edit page, there are fields for your phone number and a description.

Is it just a template that they forgot to edit? Is GOG becoming a “real” social network, like Twitter and Facebook?

Thank God. :P Hopefully they also updated some of the more outdated/incomplete info they had in some of the help/FAQ topics.

If it means we don't have to deal with shoddy in-house web software for support, I'm fine allowing a couple extra domains in NoScript on the rare occasion I have to visit the Support section. Fingers crossed that this works properly.

I've assumed for a long time that they'd be moving toward have proper user profiles on the main site. This would allow other users to visit your profile and view your friends list, your library, your achievements and play times (if using Galaxy), and so on -- and as long as public display of this is all optional for each user, I'm perfectly fine with it. Hopefully, it will also let you see what games you've rated & reviewed (and allow you to edit those), what wishes you've created & voted for (and allow you to "un-vote"), what GOGmixes you've created or upvoted (and allow you to "un-vote")...this part is what I've been waiting for. (Of course, they shouldn't need public user profiles to allow any of that, but I'm hoping the coming of the former will eventually lead to the latter. :) )

I guess so. I hope, though, that, if that happens, you will be able to block subscriptions (whatever they are supposed to mean) altogether.

A thing with my old YouTube account was that I picked up a few subscribers on it, even though I didn’t produce any content, and there was no way for me to eject them. That pissed me off so much that I decided to scrap my old Google account for a new one. Now, I’m reduced to not commenting to not get public and attract unwanted people. I wish YouTube had a system to make your comments only visible to the channel owners. :(

Exactly what I thought. 3rd parties galore, meh.
I don't even like most of the art style there. Is GOG's regular layout team on vacation?

YouTube comments sections are awful anyway. I've never commented on any YouTube video, and I don't plan to start. :D

Not all of them! I would agree if you were talking about big channels, but they can be pretty fine on rather obscure ones. For instance, I’ve been watching a 1,500+‐subscriber YouTube channel for about three and a half years, I’d say, back when it had around 500 subscribers, and the comment section has always been very nice and quiet. I think it just depends on the type of videos and content the channel owner produces.
