It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

After a full month, dare I add a request to make it at least work in IE11 in this list too? Of course, still hoping for a different design, which would make making this one work a wasted effort, but that doesn't seem to be happening...

Also, surprised not to see it in the list, but reviews need line/paragraph breaks again. I mean, hope they still exist and just aren't read/displayed, not that t hey were completely removed. Having the better, more detailed ones (so either from before the character limit was introduced or those added using workarounds to avoid it) end up just huge walls of text is awful.

Oh, I SO agree with this!
There's no reason why it shouldn't work with IE11. It did so before the revamp, so why not now?
Having big empty black banners, missing links, and huge gaps on a page where there should be screenshots does not attract customers!
Guess I should mention here too that the browser compatibility request has been "formally" struck down. So much for that. If you don't use the "popular" browser(s), GOG doesn't want you around.
My main one:

Actually put the news on the front page. (Currently, the front page doesn't have any news on it; instead, JavaScript is used to add the news after the page is loaded. This seems rather silly, as the news doesn't change that often; if the data needs to be generated, just generate the page server-side once each time the news changes and you don't need to do anything client-side.)

Better yet:

Remove all client side JavaScript from the front page, or at least remove most of it and make sure the page works correctly with JavaScript disabled (this includes the news section).

That'd be something. But most of GOG is basically AngularJS, if you look in the source you can hardly find anything, it's pulled and interpreted by browser instead of generated by server, causing all these issues.

In any case, I would say that this is a poor use of JavaScript.

In fact, I have long thought that JavaScript in the web browser was a mistake, and that browsers should not have ever supported scripts in the first place.

Even if GOG refused it, I'd say the browser compatibility request should be on the list too. I mean, the suggestion is still there even if they say no.

They're still there and even pulled through to the browser, it's just a formatting issue. It literally took me 5 minutes to add a CSS override for it in my fixes thread.

It would have taken about 2 minutes for GOG developers having access to the source code. These issues are even more infuriating knowing that it's not that they don't have the resources, they're just out of fraks to give.
This seems to be fixed now:
Last row in game list has no gap anymore.
Another change:
Direct links to gameforum on the gamepage.
NICE!

edit
And of course, list view is back since some days
