A 5:4 aspect ratio is not a common use case. That hasn't been common since 2003.

It exhibits the same behaviour under Vivaldi, which is probably unsurprising since it's also a Chromium based browser. Please tell me that was sarcasm.

Many people run their browsers in arbitrarily sized windows, not to mention aspect ratio has nothing to do with this issue. Properly designed web pages should flow to conform to any viewport resolution within reason (obviously something like 320x200 is probably not going to work but 1280x1024 should be no problem). It looks like the number of game tiles per row and their resolution is hard coded instead of being dynamically formatted and/or resized. There is no excuse for that page to behave like that.

After the videos last night, I decided to run gog.com through the browser tests at Browser Stack.

You can see the browser/OS used on top of the thumbnails. To get to the big pics, click on the thumbnail.

Note: these sites aren't 100% in their testing either but they are generally good enough to get a rough idea on how a website looks in a particular browser/OS combo. I did not put in the work to make the scrolling work properly for some of the browsers that show just a short page as this isn't meant to turn into a dissertation but show quickly how the gog.com main page can/does look on the different browsers.

All in all, I found the gog.com main page works best in Safari on my machine, no matter what window size I chose. Chrome went from what is shown in the video to displaying properly to nervous flickering depending on the window size.

I would agree with the people who suggest gog should test new pages with different browsers and window sizes before taking them online. There are good and free sites around for that as reviewed at https://www.sitepoint.com/the-7-cross-browser-testing-tools-you-need-in-2016/ . As for the look...well...tastes are different.

The GOG website definitely doesn't work properly any more with older browsers. I've tried Chrome, Firefox and Opera. It's the same thing as Steam's dropping support for Windows XP and Vista. Good Old Games, eh?

GOG hasn't officially been Good Old Games since like 2012.
