UPDATE: We've added a new option to the Privacy settings in GOG Profiles - from now on you can turn off your profile on GOG entirely, so no one can see any kind of information that is shown on the profile page. This also means that when you turn off your profile, you won’t be visible on your friends’ friends lists, even if they decide to keep their profiles visible.
The option to enable/disable your GOG Profile can be found in your account „Privacy & Settings” options, under „Privacy” tab.



We just introduced a new feature on GOG.COM: User Profiles – a social way to share what you and your friends are up to. See what your friends on GOG are playing, achieving, and sharing across four sections – Feed, Profile, Games and Friends.

Your Feed is the centerpiece of your Profile. Here, you’ll see which games your friends have been playing, all sorts of achievements and milestones, as well as general thoughts, screenshots, and forum activity. You can dispense your approval at whim and share your own stuff as well!

Your Profile is all about you and your gaming accomplishments. It's a summary of your activity, like the time you've spent in your games , your latest achievements (and just how rare they are among other users), as well as a glimpse at what your most active friends have been up to.

If you want to know more about your Games, you need to hit the the third tab. It contains a list of all the games you own on GOG, together with stats like time spent in-game and your progress towards unlocking the achievements. Sort the list, compare stats with your friends, and get some healthy competition going.

Finally – your Friends: get a general summary of their achievements and hours played. Here you'll also see which games are the most popular among your friends right now, so you can join them in multiplayer or find something you might enjoy yourself.

Of course, your profile comes with some sweet personalization options, choose a wallpaper from your game collection and share a few words with the world.

User Profiles are available for all GOG.COM users. Your personal gameplay stats like achievements, time played and milestones depend on GOG Galaxy, but if you’re not using the optional client you can still use the feed, post in it and interact with your friends.

Launching profiles also means adding new privacy settings on our end. You'll find three new Privacy options in your account's „Privacy & settings” area. These settings allow you to set the visibility for your profile summary, your games, your friends, etc.
So what are you waiting for? There's so much room for activities!

I like it
Next to recently played are four games I haven'y played in several years. XD

Also, what is the "What's up?" text bar. Who am typing to?

Desmight: Do you have any games not available for purchase on the store anymore?

xyem: Yes, more than one.
That's maybe why the wrong number displayed. In the user profile, every game is linked to its store page, so maybe GOG API doesn't "recognize" the games that are not on the store anymore. Pretty weird!

Hello there.
The activity feed feels a bit hectic, crowded with too much info. I do appreciate customizable backgrounds.

Damn, I have a lot of games. Need to start pruning that backlog.
I do love the idea behind a refreshed user profile page. Noticing quite a few issues though.

○ Can't find a way to turn sharing/public display of info to an off setting. ((edit: https://www.gog.com/account/settings/privacy))
○ Bio and Messages can't contain blank lines, hyperlinks.
○ Shared Wishlist not integrated.
○ Some titles not showing up in primary language in the game list. (eg: Galactic Assault lists itself as "Обитаемый Остров: Послесловие")

There's something weird. I'm getting a notification in the activity feed, but nothing showing up. And I too feel that the "Friend's Activity" part should be kept private. Showing off yourself is fine, but others might not want to be that blatantly up on display.

It's nice that you can remove stuff from your activity feed (unlike i.e. Steam), and I love the backgrounds! Still, I'd like more options to customize my privacy (total number of games owned, for example)

Breja: Hello there.
Okay well this is stupid.

Too those whom it may concern, I am unfriending everyone. That's nothing personal, just reactionary. I am still leaving my PM open to everyone, even those people that despise me. :D

I'd love to compare my games with my friends but I can't because you set it to GOG users only. :/

Can you please add a "Let non-GOG users also see your profile" option too? :/

paladin181: Forum pop. And jeez you guys suck about not giving prior notice to everyone.

Dear GOG.com,

Please look up the word "privacy" in the dictionary.

With privacy settings on maximum, you can still see the number of games in someone's library and the number of hours of play that were tracked by Galaxy. That's none of anyone's business and it's not up to you to decide to make that public. When someone wants privacy, you should hide the profile entirely.

I, for one, am here to buy games, not to become a member of some adolescent social club. Fine if others want that, but you have a legal obligation to protect the data of those who don't.

So, I invoke my legal rights under the EU Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC's third governing principle (data should not be disclosed without the data subject’s consent) and demand that my profile be immediately and completely hidden or disabled. I remind you that Poland is a signatory of the "Convention for the protection of individuals with regard to automatic processing of personal data" and as such, complying is not optional.

My advice: stick to selling games and get out of the social media business.

Breja: Hello there.
wait, how did you do that? Not that I ever would.
Some game titles have incorrect localization settings. I use the English version of GOG across the board, yet my game list shows the Russian name for Gwent. A friend of mine has the German name of The Settlers II.

Esmeralda95: I really like the wallpapers for our profiles, but I hope you release more in the future!
There's something I realized! Wallpapers are limited to the games that you own. Only if you own the title, will the wallpaper for it show up in your selection.
