SimonG: You know that this is a marketing ploy into buying you games you don't really want so you can complete a fake "collection".
It's not a bad thing, but GOG is certainly not doing it to do you a favour. Heck, their removal of site features prior to this sale has caused zero buys from me. As I own all GOGs I want I can only be tempted by impulse buys. And without knowing what I own and what not before going to the game page, my impulsiveness is significantly hampered.
I believe we've already turned the "OWNED" notice in the catalog back on, haven't we? What other features are you talking about?

EDIT: I'd note that the reason we turned the feature off was to reduce the chances of site go crashy boom. It seems to have worked. :)
