drmike: I just think it's weird that they're hard coded. You would think that someone on staff would have thought leaving them open so they could push out new adverts like for current sales would have crossed at least one employees mind.

ZFR: People have cried "GOG is introducing DRM!!" for far less than that. Can you imagine the uproar if GOG's installers use internet connection to display current adverts during installations? Even if the internet connection is not needed and even if the game would install just fine without internet connection people would still complain (if history is any indication). "Why are GOG's installers calling home? I don't need this telemetry. I thought this was a DRM-free store. That's it; I'm switching to Steam."
This has happened for less, already. The sadness of it does not make it any less true.

My personal favorite is people who complain about galaxy sending data to the GOG servers when achievements get unlocked. I don't think we've seen that one in some time though.

Or the infamous troll who complained because Galaxy requires an internet connection for cloud saves. I forget if that was on these forums that person posted, but it was pretty freaking funny...

HereForTheBeer: Myself, I would go to the forum and start a thread about this weird thing I discovered in my library, where the games aren't properly organized alphabetically. I bet nobody has heard about this so I should probably let y'all know about it.
Holy crap! Why hasn't anyone said anything about this?
