Reminds me of Novell Netware. When Microsoft had the underdog product, they made it compatible with every other networking protocol by default. When they had market hegemony, they reversed that policy.
Ditto with Word file formats, up to about 2007 (IIRC). Thenceforward their documents introduced more and more "features" that didn't port well.

FrodoBaggins: Stop acting like a petulant child and just download a more modern browser, and then GoG will work as it should.
Why should Gog care about less than 2% of idiots who seem to care less about security, and adverts, pop-ups, all the things you get using such a shite old browser like IE11.
If you want to play the latest modern PC games you buy a modern graphics card, you don't bitch because your 3dfx card doesn't work in 2018.
I just don't get what the problem is with using a better modern browser.
Just download Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, or Opera, whatever your choice, and get with the times.
You remind me of Windows XP moaners, who cling-on to their antiquated creaky old OS, while moaning about modern games not working.

Honestly, this was my thought too. It's not dissimilar to being upset that the latest game doesn't work on your old PC.

I use a version of Firefox and can't browse the site since the redesign. Waiting for pages to load just feels like I'm going back to dial-up.

Not that I care too much, to be honest. Bought hundreds of games through sales in the past, but now I'm just trying to finish whatever games I need to finish playing. Future purchases will be made elsewhere.

GOG just feels like a dead website - a website whose admin got sick of updating, so the only thing active in it is its forum.
I sent a bug report, and the only response I got was the automated one asking me to rate the customer service I supposedly got.

Absolutely - based on GoG's history with web design, I'd expect that they've used some new features that would need to be specially configured to work on anything other than normal left-to-right setups (despite there being a sizeable number of people in the Middle East using a variant right-to-left setup, the majority of the world runs left-to-right).

The wiki page shared suggested a special config might be needed - and given this thread is about how GoG is the one website that doesn't work on IE11, I'd guess this is one website that only works as intended on normal left-to-right.

Well, I really tried to have a serious discussion here.
But some of you chose to turn it into an IE-bashing contest, completely ignoring the fact that other browsers also have problems with GOG now as other users have stated, and ignoring the bug problems I was trying to discuss.

And even after I repeatedly said it's not a browser issue, browsers are irrelevant to how you view a site... even after I repeatedly said every other site works fine in IE and it's only GOG that's buggy now... you still kept going on and on about browsers and ignoring the bug problems, like a pack of vultures.

Thankyou to the few of you that tried to stay on topic.

Now I'm out of here!

Your unwillingness to accept facts and move on is staggering. You are trying to view a 2018 website on a browser that was discontinued 3 years ago. This isn't about bashing IE, it's simply an old browser at this point and doesn't fully support modern web standards.
Could you elaborate on this particular nugget of wisdom?

Perhaps you should test this idea. I suggest ramming ethernet cables into your eyes and ears.

That's where you are wrong.
Especially in the case of IE, it's a fundamentally important issue.

You do realise, that for instance, JavaScript works differently in IE than in any more standard-based browsers?
They even call it JScript, so not even the name itself corresponds to JavaScript.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JScript

I have no idea if your problems are related to JScript, they may well be, or maybe it's something completely different. But if the browser itself is built on non-standard things, whereas some other browsers try to be as standard as possible, you can expect to encounter problems that would not happen with those other browsers.

If you love IE, keep using. I still use Eudora for email, because I like it better than newer mail software.
But I realise that when companies send promotional emails with emoticons as characters, I am not able to see them because my choice of email client is outdated and can't show them.

It's not irrelevant that some software just isn't compatible with some things on the net.

Which version? Because it works fine for me with Firefox 63.03 and as well with the last version before it switched to Quantum (I think it was 53 or 54).

As much as I prefer GOG to do this, though, it's about time that at least someone stands up to microsoft playing the "we make our own standards" game: it's precisely what created the mess that is web-development being more complex than simply how you display your information. You can't focus on the task, you have to focus on methods that make everyone's browser happy, 'cause the standards they claim to comply with, they really don't. It largely started with Microsoft's violations of javascript standards, and people using IE anyway. It's honestly about time someone said "eh, fuck it."

Now, if only people could remind Apple of the firewire fiasco.

The new website design of GOG is so 1990s, it is not a good 2018 website.
IE11 keep getting updates, and just got patched several days ago.

It's getting security patches and bug fixes, not updates. I'm not trying to argue GOG's web design is good, just that they are using features that IE does not and will never support and that it is foolish to expect any recent website to work. If some do then good for you, but expecting a new site to work on an old browser is a waste of time - it's only going to get worse from here onwards.

I know what you mean. Although I think GoG are less standing up to Microsoft rather than just demonstrating their usual ability to keep the site running...

No, it won't. We all know that temporary solutions tend to be very long-lived on GOG. By the time GOG would get around to fixing this, Frodo will probably be the only person left who still uses IE11 - and it's not worth it for GOG to fix something for only one person. Or in other words: GOG's patent recipe for 'fixing' lots of their bugs is waiting until they either disappear by themselves or until some user writes a work-around.
No, you didn't. You stated that you are discontent with GOG not supporting IE11. That isn't a discussion, that's a statement which doesn't require any discussion. And when a related discussion about browsers sprang up, connected to the helpful hint to try a different browser if you want this site to work, you threw a temper tantrum.

It basically boils down to a decision on your part: do you want to use this site? Or do you just want to complain? If you want to use this site, use a different browser. GOG isn't going to fix IE11 for you. But if you just want to complain, sure, go ahead. But don't be surprised if others don't take you serious. No one likes whiners.

Given their general attitude, i think they are just standing up to MS, just in a really weird an uneventful way.
