I don't think this is a GOG issue, but of course I could be wrong.

Let me ask you this Marian. If you are already signed into your account and click on "support" is it asking you to sign in again?

oldbroad, have you tried a different browser? When I click on Support, I can review a bunch of canned responses, but the "sign in" option is in the upper right corner.

Then I suspect Marian is correct and it will just resolve itself next time you reboot.

Still, it does not inspire confidence in me to be using GOG.

No. It takes me right to the GOG Support Center.

I go straight to the GOG Support Center too, but at the upper right it says, "sign in." I don't need to sign in to read any of the links though.

Thank you both. Same here as you Drac, so that is good that it is not just me for that. I was curious.

Well, this is rather puzzling, so I'd want to check with everything too!

No problems lately with GOG and this is not really relevant to this board but -

I just ordered a few games and was charged SALES TAX. They finally caught up to me. Sometimes the sales tax is what made the difference for me on whether I purchased a game from Steam or GOG.

From what I understand, the sales tax collection has to do with State requirements. There has been a big conversation about it over the last several years here in Missouri. Our legislature finally passed something saying that on-line purchases needed to have sales taxes collected and sent to the State. It took awhile, but Amazon now charges Missouri sales tax for instance. I personally was in favor of it even though it means I have to pay more. I know a lot of small business owners who were very upset at the unfairness of them having to collect sales taxes and pay it to the State and on-line businesses not having to do it.

GOG charged 3% more than Steam. I don't even know what the correct state sales tax is anymore. I think Amazon's been charging it for a couple of years now just as Steam and Big Fish have.

I am charged tax on ANY purchase outside of the UK that the British Tax Collectors deem appropriate - and it can certainly make a hefty difference to the cost 🙄

I am still not charged tax on Big Fish purchases and am surprised that it hasn't happened yet.

That's good, Marian thumbsup

My purchases from BF have very much dwindled since the tax thing started. The cost to me of a game from them now is quite exhorbitant - even in their sales frown

Really sad ....

I am very sorry about that, Mad. Their new set-up hurt a lot of overseas customers, sadly. frown

Well I had bought plenty before the tax change so have lots still to play - not to mention I remember very little about games I’ve already played so they will be like new ones too lol
