    GOG can suck my dick. They spammed my email with newsletters after I would repeatedly turn them off. We do need a DRM free alternative but for that I’ll stick with piracy

      As soon as you add a free game, the newsletters are sent again. There is no “subscribe to get the game for free” which AFAIK is mandatory in the EU, they just resubscribe you silently.

      Some sites just don’t give a damn about the “unsubscribe” link. Some don’t even include it in the first place.

      All of the above get reported as spam and gmail will happily send them to trash ever after.
