Could we have a way to indicate desired platform on the wishlist? I know I've got some things listed there that I already own, but it's because I want them in a different format or on a different platform (PC versus console, DRM-Free versus Steam, etc.), and it would be nice to be able to indicate that specifically.

I actually added this to my task list the other day when I was working on the VGPC integration :) I want to eventually show the estimated price for games on your wishlist, but there needs to be a platform for that to be accurate. I hadn't thought about the digital provider though, so I'll add that while I'm in there!

This feature is now live! Let me know what you think.

I should also mention that I do plan to add a Platform filter to the Wish List page. I just ran out of time tonight :P

Yay! I just noticed it when I was going through and cleaning up my wish list from things I picked up on GOG's summer sale. I'll be poking at it shortly. :)

ETA: Some feedback:
* When I go to add a game, the game list takes a looong time to load - a couple to several seconds, which is really noticeable and a little aggravating when adding several games.
* A way to edit several items at a time would be lovely, as would a way to add a default platform/digital format.

You're talking about the Browse Games page being slow, right? I hope so, because I just modified it to make it quite a bit faster :) I had noticed it was getting a little slow, just kept forgetting to look into it. Hopefully that alleviates your issues.

As far as editing multiple wish list items, I thought about that while updating my own 450+ game wish list last night :P I think it's just a matter of having to back-fill all the data since the platform wasn't available before. If you want, I can update all of your wish list entries to a certain platform / digital format so it might help speed you up. Then you could go in and adjust the outliers. As a side-note, I think the platform dropdown when adding a game to your wish list should put the platforms the game is on at the top, just like the one when you add a game to your collection. This was something else I ran out of time on, but it would be handy...

Actually, I mean the game list dropdown on the 'add to wish list' popup on the wish list screen. The list takes quite a while to load. The main Browse Games page is quite fast. :)

If you could update mine to just be all Steam, and then I can go back and edit the ones that are actually available DRM-free, that would be awesome!

D'oh! I kinda forgot about that game dropdown, yeah, it should definitely be an autocomplete thing :P I generally use the Browse Games page to find the game I want to add and use the wish list button there. I'll add it to my list!

I just updated all of the games on your wish list that didn't have a platform specified to be PC and Steam. Hope that helps!

I keep forgetting about all the options that the Browse Games page has, so I go right to the wish list. :)

Thank you much!

Now that I've been using the platform option for a month or so, I feel like it should be required. I've forgotten to select it a few times and then I have to find it in the list to edit it. Does anyone here think this should NOT be required? The digital format dropdown would obviously remain optional.

Personally, I'm not really for it being required. Having more than one gaming platform, it's not always clear-cut for me to decide which specific platform I will be buying a game for, but I'd still want it on my wishlist.

My vote would go towards keeping things as is, with the platform being optional.
