[QUOTE="Rod90"]Is this a joke? It still adds automatically to the following list!!dab198
I said as much 7 posts ago :( I won't be unstickying this thread until that changes.

Adding games to "my collection" is now a drag thanks to the recent follow games update.

Of course, after I posted that, the auto-following bug was fixed.

It's still lame having to search for games to add to collections, or by using the 'More info' popout on gamespaces and using the 'Wish it' option. The latter method then evokes a similar hassle of having to remove items from your wishlist.

I might rename the thread to something akin to adding to collections now being a nuisance. I'm not sure anyone who's posted in this thread in the 9 months it's been going is happy with the way this has been 'fixed'.

Yeah, especially when search acts up and it doesn't find said game.

Nope definitely not happy with the "fix". Can't we just have separate buttons on the game page for 'follow', 'wishlist', 'add to collection'

When I add a game to my collection I also don't want to see it being automatically followed.

You are right! I thought it was still an issue. I'm glad it was fixed.

Except now there's a new problem: no way to do anything except Follow/unFollow on the gamespace. For some reason they force you to do a search to do anything else. The old system of having the same functionality wherever you are made way more sense.

Oh hey, Gamespot forums exist.

Oh hey, people hated the same change I did when it was implimented last year.

Oh hey, they made an even worse change recently.

This isn't going well.

Apparently this was changed recently.When I click the Follow button on a game page, it automatically adds to my Followed Games list! And I can't disable it in the preferences anymore.

I just want to add a game to my collection, not "follow" it. I don't need a bunch of games I already own cluttering up my Updates. This is annoying, please let us disable the automatic following of a game in the preferences.

You can get around this by clicking "add to list" underneath the boxart in a search list.

A lot has changed since that first post was made last September. :P Your workaround is the whole point this thread is still stickied; using the search should not be a requirement.

Id like to see a way to add games from the game page like in the good ol' days too!

Also: when one clicks the button "add to list" why is the game auto added to the collection? Maybe I want to put it on my wish list.

It should only be automatically added to your collection if you've chosen that in your options. Is it ignoring your settings?

Please go back to the old way of adding games. It was fun and simple. Now it's just a pain.

It was addressed but the reason we are keeping it pinned is because it was not reverted back to the previous way of adding games.

posted in this thread last July because this issue bothered me. Here we are 7 months later and its still hasnt been fixed. It used to be this way, so it cant be hard to put it back. I keep a complete collection list on here. Its the only place I have every game I own listed.
