GOG forum topic

GOG did it again. Though it seems we have to thanks the publisher for willing to let users enjoy their DRMed games now and on the DRM-free platform(unless you already own it on GOG).

For people lazy to check the gog forum topic here is GOG connect

Full list of games available

While GOG Connect will stick around, the available games will come and go. These are limited-time offers made possible by participating developers and publishers, so stay tuned as we bring new titles onboard in the future (and grab your copies before they go away)!

It may take some time for GOG to detect your steam library so once you connect give it 10-15mins before checking for eligible games.

Here is the FAQ : seems half of the FAQ is important so you may just go check it yourself.

3. How long will these games be eligible?
Duration will vary from game to game – the time left to redeem each game is shown on its respective product icon above.

4. Are there any differences between the GOG.com and Steam versions of my product?
Importing your game will get you the complete GOG.com release – just as if you had bought it normally. The specifics may vary from game to game, but you can always check what's included on the game's product page.
FYI GOG versions often come with extras though lately the newly released games often come with less or none extras(OST,artwork,avatars,etc.)

6. Can I disconnect or change my connected Steam account?
You can only connect one Steam library per GOG.com account. This process is permanent.

12. Can I play the GOG versions of the games with my Steam friends(for mutiplayer ones)?
This depends entirely on the game – not all games support multiplayer gameplay between Steam and GOG.com.

13. What if I already own a game on both GOG.com and Steam?Do I get an extra key?
Unfortunately not – you will not receive an extra copy of a game you already own on GOG.com.

15. If I no longer have the game in Steam library, do I still keep it on GOG.com?
If a game is removed from your Steam account for any reason, such as through manual deletion or a refund – we reserve the right to remove the games from your GOG.com library.

Oh wow, GOG, really nice! I wonder what makes them do this - they obviously are losing potential profit by doing this.

On the loop for forever now, hope it will finally work sometime soon.

not really, if you already have a game on steam, why would you buy it again ??

now that pp can get what they paid on steam, they can stop using steam and start buying from gog now, many pp are complaining about all the new thing steam make like the mobile auth, highest price than all the other online provider, many pp wont move from steam because they already have tons on game on that drm, now they can have their game on another place for free

Why buy again you ask? Well DRM-free. At least that is my reason to buy some games for 2nd time.
Also I stopped using my debit card on steam after the last security updates(only selling my inventory for steam wallet)

I tried adding them to my library, but it didn't seem to work.

Now it just display the usual:

Awesome move on their behalf, although I am being stuck on the "YOUR ACCOUNTS ARE BEING CONNECTED
Due to exceedingly high demand this may take up to several days, please check back later. Thank you for your patience." phase for a while now. The past few hours it was a couldn't reach the steam service error instead. I am guessing high demand brought the servers to their knees. XD

Give it some time.
Though I didnt have any issue but that was because 1st come 1st serve with their servers. Now that the news are spread some people end up waiting for few hours till they can claim their games. Hopefully by the time next batch appear everything will be dandy.

Hmm, ~unrelated question, but can you change the nickname on GOG galaxy? My name is random letters because I login with email and didn't even know they have a client.

Sorry, cant find an option for that. You may want to write a ticket to support but I doubt that they can help much.

Thanks for the info! Got 8 games in my library. So, what is the way to keep them now? Do I download the contents and keep it on hard drive zipped?)

Thats what I do though it can be annoying downloading the extras duo to too many clicks for archives that are 1-2mb

"15 GAMES ADDED TO YOUR LIBRARY!"
Nothing gained but this makes me happy. I've already bought 5 of this bunch earlier because they deserved to be bought twice or more :)

Nothing gained? DRM-free copies are nothing for you? Or the little extras that come with GOG's versions. xD

Just the feeling of having them or the very concept of DRM-free tbh. Other then that I'm not particularly exited about extras or owning DRM-free games. I guess it may sounds like mixed messages but some people will probably understand what I'm talking about :)

Edit: Oddly enough, well maybe not that odd, this makes me want to by the games I'm missing from this batch on steam...

I get that you want to be able to have free steam license for the games you have bought on GOG but the way you're expressing your reason sounds odd to me. Playing a game on your account sounds a bit weird to me, but then again English isn't my native language.
