HappyPunkPotato: I'm fine with a bit of extra hastle to prove I'm human and prevent Gog getting tons of spam but I'm definitely not fine with sending any information about me to Google (or helping to train it's AI). Aparently there are alternatives available although I'm not sure how well they work.
Thanks for the info. Maybe you should voice these concerns to GOG via email/etc? It might not do much but it's worth a shot, at any rate.

Zrevnur: Far as I understand your answer: At best your post reasons "its likely not harassment because ..." but this is a weaker statement than your previous one which was absolute. Meaning your 'statement' was stronger than your 'proof'.
So far as I can tell your opinion is simply "its not harassment". (And mine is different as I stated.)
It's more than an opinion, if you look at what harassment entails and the criteria for such. So far as I can tell your opinion is simply "its not harassment". (And mine is different as I stated.)
In order for it to be harassment they have to be doing something with the intent to cause someone undue major harm/stress/etc or be causing such unintentionally(but still to a severe level), and I am sure GOG didn't add captchas to be mean to anyone or to cause anyone harm.
There's a difference between someone/a company harassing people and someone feeling as if they are being harassed(which can sometimes, though not always, be just that.....just a feeling).
(Again, I don't say any of this to discount the feeling of you or anyone else....I am just trying to look at this from a logical-etc standpoint as to if this constitutes harassment or not)
