Not sure where I should report suggestions like this but I really do not like new game previews.

I often browse games by category, open games that are interesting to me (based on cover and/or price) and then explore them on game page (screenshots, description). Now I cannot open multiple games fast using middle mouse button, because I have to hover over game, wait for preview to load and then open it in new tab.

This preview is not much more useful than game cover, because it only shows screenshots and tags...


I would love to have ability to switch this new behaviour off in account settings, or at least in category/filter view.

I don't even browse the catalogue, it's such a mess.

Instead, I use a script whenever I'm in the mood to find a title.

And even that doesn't solve all the issues because the really stupid thing is, there's no tag for expansions/DLCs nor for Editions.

Which feels like a slight oversight, seeing as I'm pretty sure that a 70/30 complaint rate regards that idiotic decision.

Very interesting, bookmarked. Will review/test later somewhere in 2023.

Could your script make use of a pre-build dailyautoupdated ID TXT list of "games only?" No worry, you don't need to build it, and I can throw in the IDs for the root packages of the said games. The idea of this originally was to never miss a newly released game on GOG, I use it with a simple fronted as my own tracker. On expansions/DLCs and on editions (packages), it technically can be done too. Any sort of pre-processing of GOG API data is technically available.

Of course if this idea is not of your liking, totally fine, I'll move on as usual; If interested, I am typically on Codeberg's Git, partially Github, 24/7 on Open Source Matrix (real time chats), can provide more details later.

Actually the preview function is one of the most useful things GOG has implemented in years.

In the past, if you wanted to wishlist a game, you needed to open every game card individually and do it there. Now you can simply click the heart icon on the preview.

Also, for those who care, those symbols show whether the game has Galaxy achievements or not, again no need to open the actual game card.

It's also very useful to check those screenshots, if you only want to see those.

The tags could be useful, but because those tags are almost completely useless as they are, the ability to fast-look them is kind of pointless too.


Of course GOG could offer some setting to disable those previews, but personally I think GOG has become much more usable with the preview function.

Why would I bother if game has galaxy achievements? I just want to know what X game is about.
I have to open every game on new tab anyway because these screenshot previews are too small to judge game. This just makes whole process of opening games on new tab harder because page does not react properly to middle mouse button / ctrl+click.

Tags are now present and clearly mark DLC.

It would be cool if lower part of game card would not open image preview. Only hoovering on image should expand it.. You should be able to click lower part to open game in new tab easily. Currently you only have 0.3s before it opens to bigger preview. Wow, this rule for ublock is working perfectly! Huge THANKS to you! This is exactly what I wanted!
