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

thealtmaster: im with you but dont expect any sympathy from these guys just the other week they were telling me to stop using netscape
websites should just work it shouldnt matter what browser i use
Netscape? You got tired of using IBox and decided to upgrade?

Websites shouldn't work on any browser you use. Do you have any idea how ridiculous it would be for developers to maintain support for every browser that has ever been? Websites aren't build the same way they were 20 years ago, they aren't even built the same way they were 5 years ago. Old browsers don't support new technologies and developers shouldn't be expected to try and bridge the gap for people who aren't willing to update their browsers to current standards.

You're essentially making an argument that is the equivalent of asking why a game like Skyrim won't work on Windows 95. And then demanding that the game developer build a custom solution to allow you to run Skyrim on Windows 95.

Fonzer: So firefox esr doesn't support the extensions you need?
Yes, I am using MozReply.

The problem many people here are missing is, I am not complaining that I can't watch videos, or that hover effects don't work. I am complaining that I can't buy games. I can't click a fucking BUTTON. This is something very basic.
There is a "fucking" button!?

And to think, all this time I've been settling for just playing HuniePop!
Clearly, NoScript has gone rogue since only the front page shouldn't work at all.

If you got a shop how many people do you want to lose because of stupid gimmicks? You are one of those fools who think more new is more good. I bet you got an iphone.

The irony is we are talking about gog... good old games... and you don't get it. You got no spirit

GOG stopped being Good Old Games in 2012.
For the record, I don't "got" an iphone.

And then there are those mega retarded modern trends like angular and jquery for people who can't code.
jQuery is from 2006. AngularJS from 2008. If these are too modern for you, you should really consider getting another job... People who "speak" FORTRAN or COBOL are in increasing demand.
all this means is just that gog loses customers. Everyones counter-argument is stupid.

I would rather want guys like him to create websites though. Nice, snappy and optimized, that's how it should be.

He is right though. It's not smart to gatekeep potential customers by not supporting recent (or current in the case of IE and who knows what else) standards. What benefits did GOG get by introducing the new design which would have to outweigh the drawback of losing customers? None. It actually made everything worse (as seen by the countless threads).

I agree, totally, my point was that "Everyones counter-argument is stupid. " is unto itself a stupid counter argument.

While I can suggest to contact Support with your issue, I also have to point out that excessive usage of swear words is against the forums' guidelines.
