I have had much difficulty logging in recently. I noticed that the GOG web site attempts to load something from google. Do you know how hard that makes if for your customers in China? Everything Google related is blocked in China. Any web page that uses google services in its page loads very slowly and incompletely in China. Please stop doing this.

Not just people who can't access Google, but the security and privacy conscious who refuse to access Google. Seriously...
There's only one thing that loads from Google, and that's the tag manager resource. And reCAPTCHA, but only if you're not in the Gsuite.

You too can see this for yourself by using inspection view (should it exist in your browser) and watching the resources and connections load.

reCAPTCHA is not working well at China, so GOG use another anti-bot system for China IPs.
I'm not from China but I support this thread. Recaptcha is especially obnoxious.
Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

And every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please

Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

And every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Every move you make, every step you take
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you

Oh the irony XD

tinyE: Play Roxanne!
How about They Don't Care About Us instead!

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

But seriously, Roxanne is pretty nice too :D

I always take lyrics from any of those random Internet lyric sites with a snowmobile-size grain of salt. A frightening number of them seem to have been come up with by some random idiot listening to a song, uncritically writing down exactly what he thought he heard, and then posting that without another thought. And a lot of the different lyrics sites just seem to have ripped off the lyrics from each other, so if it's wrong on one site, it may well be wrong in the exact same way on several other sites, as well.

I once watched an "official" lyrics video made for the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black", posted to their dedicated Vevo channel on YouTube. But the idiot who made it seems to have either pulled the lyrics from some shitty lyrics site, or done the same "Well, this is what I heard" thing that results in such bungled versions on those sites; in any case, there were at least a couple places where the video was clearly wrong about what was being sung. So even "official" lyrics sources aren't always trustworthy.

On the flip side, the japanese ones tend to be more accurate (though not perfect). What kills me is that they usually also have the weirdest tricks to keep you from copy-pasting, which is really unhelpful if you don't know one of the letters.
