Please search before making new threads.

Cut him some slack, he is a new member to the community. Sometimes it is easier to start new instead of having your post get lost in a long tangle of another thread.

no need to get worked up just treat it as a joke i'm sure the gog team will have these games up in a decade or two

I said please.. that's polite isn't it?
Also, as I've said in previous threads, I believe adding new games to the wishlist shouldn't be an issue. As it's just a wish, and wishing for something to come on here that hasn't come out yet, isn't bad. It's wishing for current gen console games that's ridiculous. I mean, and also there's the case that someone would want to see a version that's without DRM, is there something so wrong about wishing for that? I mean, even if nobody is going to see it ever, why pray then? no one is in your room going "yep, I'm gonna save your mother from diabeetus." It's just a wish. A hope for good things to come. Not a list of titles that ABSOLUTELY WILL COME TO GOG IF IT GETS ENOUGH VOTES.
And there's a lot of games on here that are just two years old. So I mean, even voting for recent ones shouldn't be an issue either.

Regardless of whether or not it is easier, the fact is, we just had this same exact thread not even a week ago, although that one was a bit more reasonable and had most of its facts straight. Besides, common forum etiquette dictates that you should always search before making a new topic.

It is a "wishlist", therefore it is made up entirely of games we would wish to see on GOG eventually. The fact that some of them are new or not even released doesn't matter. Eventually they will be old and hopefully most of them will be good, so they will easily be eligible for the GOG treatment someday.

The problem with all these unrealistic and silly wishes (plus all the duplicates) is that it reduces the usefulness of that particular feature. The more realistic wishes, as well as many genuine classics, tend to drown in a sea of crap. GoG doesn't need to know that some stupid people want Halo 3: Recon on here. They need to know about games they can actually add.

I'm sure the GOGers know which games are the red herrings.

I think the problem is sifting through them to find the ones that aren't.

That's it exactly. The more ridiculous wishes there are, the more difficult it is to find those that are not. Any game that is more than a little behind the front page, simply disappears, because there is no useful way to browse the wishlist, other than going through the pages in reverse chronological order. Of course, you can search for the title of a particular game, but you don't have the option of looking through the list, sorted in a reasonable manner, and go "Oh man, I had completely forgotten about that game. That was brilliant!" *vote*.
The wishlist needs 2 features to be marginally useful, both for GOG and for us.
1. Alphabetical sorting, preferably with shortcuts to each starting letter. This is a standard function in every online game catalogue I have ever seen with more than 100 entries in it.
2. Sorting by the number of votes. You have no way of finding out which game is the 11th most voted for. As it is, the top 10 is way ahead of everything else. We have to be able to browse the list in order of popularity. And once that function is in place, the votes really ought to be reset, because the top 10 is completely skewed by now.
With these functions in place, people can make all the stupid wishes they want, without interfering too much with the functioning of the wishlist.
But again, GOG have said that they would look at the functionality of the wishlist in 2009. I just hope it'll be sooner rather than later.
To be honest, I think they are still at a stage where they have enough opportunities for negotiations with various publishers, that they don't actually need to look too much at which games we want the most. Once things have settled down a bit, knowing what would sell best will probably be of more importance to them. This is not meant as a criticism. After all, they are trying to run a business, and I'd like them to stay in business, so whatever gives them the best chances of survival right now, is what they should do.

Honestly I really think that the whislist is more a "community" feature, something for us to play with, rather than something that really has any use for them.
They release game for which they manage to get the rights for, no matter if that games has 0 or 2 billion votes. It's not like editor are fighting to be released on GoG and that CdProject has to refuse some games.
In my opinion whenever peoples vote for System Shock 2 or Gear of War 5 is not going to really matter in the end.

I don't agree. I think the wishlist could be an useful way of showing GoG interesting games that they might not have thought of otherwise. Keyword is "could".

Yeah, pretty much.

That does not invalidate what I said. As it is right now, it's completely useless for us as well. Even as a "toy".

The GOG devs have stated that they will be using the wishlist to make determinations on what games to go after next, so it is not just a community "toy". It is also not the only thing they will use to decide which games to try to get, but rather one of the tools used to assist them. Ideally, if they can get the wishlist data into some usable form, it is something they can take to rights holders to say "look how many copies we can project to sell if you let us distribute your game on our platform". However, as it appears right now from what we can see on the community end of it, they can't really do that yet.
