Gog also seemingly no 2fa other than an faq page with instructions that cannot be followed.
Comment on What's up with Epic Games?
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 11 months agoA con for GOG is their site is slow as fuck. And good forbid you want to go back to a previous page, you’ll likely lose where you were looking 9 times out of ten. Especially so on mobile.
Pros: Can be the only place you can get old games that would’ve been unavailable otherwise The older games are often really really cheap, especially during sales

I always get 2FA’d on GoG for an emailed code

Do you remember how to configure it? Last I checked I went through every account and settings page on the store site and seemingly separate customer service log in and no clear way to set it up.

Not a clue sorry. I’m personally not one to go out of my way to say up 2FA even though I know it’s good practice to do so (unless it’s work related, then I do)

Steam’s, Epic’s, Ubisoft’s, Battle.net’s and whatever-EA’s-thing-is-called-now’s sites are also slow as shit. What is it with these platforms which prevent them from loading a webpage in less than 10 seconds?

Sadly, it’s likely a lot of tracking. The kind that look where your mouse is and where you scroll and stop etc.

What tracking does Epic need? “According to our analytics, 100% of users scroll to the free games banner on Tuesday at 5pm CEST, then leave and don’t come back for a week. What a mystery!”

Oh thanks for the reminder, I hadn’t opened epic so I can scroll down to the free games banner in a while.

You’d be appalled how much people in corporations earn for making these obvious observations…

In Steam’s case, the slowness looks more likely just a side effect of it being a Chromium Embedded Framework application with a lot of extras bolted on. It’s simply not built efficiently.
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
The website, outside of the client is still slower than it used to be a good few years ago

Another con is that GOG versions are usually not updated as much as other versions are. It’s a shame, because I’d prefer to use GOG when possible.
