I like the new "stacks" feature. I'm glad that most of my previous content simply moved into the stacks; however, I am upset that one of the default stacks is not "games I'm following." My previous following list was fairly large, so it would be nice if they just appeared as a default stack. I understand that those games can be found in the following section, but the organization there is a mess with very little info.

I second that opinion. I also used the "games I'm following" as a way to track games I hadn't already purchased or just series I really enjoyed. Now the new list doesn't even have a way to stop following games or move them to another stack, which the old site had. I'm a bit bummed by this - looks like I'll have to track down my favorites individually and restack them :(

Otherwise I think the new design has positive updates but losing functionality is disheartening.

Oh shit, I just noticed that the games I'm following thing is gone. wtf gamespot? Now how am I meant to keep up with specific game information. I won't use "Games I want" as wanting a game is different from following it for information up to it's release.

EDIT: I've noticed games still have the option to be followed. Going to fiddle around a bit more. -.-

I thought about going through my following list and adding them individually to a custom stack, but I'm hesitant to do that at the moment, because I am really hoping that GS just fixes my/our concern and does an import/transfer/whatever you call it.

I'm not even able to find the list of what I'm following! I like to new, clean look to the site, but it is definitely less responsive and a little too scattered for me, compared to how used to the old site I was. Can anyone direct this poor, less-than-intelligent lad to the following section?

Yours will be here, combined with any users you're following. Filter by 'Objects' to see only games.

Aaaaah, I see, how complicated! Why not "Games" instead of "Objects"? Awkward, but thank you for the guidance nonetheless.

Is anyone still receiving updates by email for games on their Following list? Or anywhere? I'm not even seeing tracked updates in what I think is my GameSpot "feed" page.

No. My feed has been silent.
