Introducing GOG Connect

 

Connect your Steam account and grow or jumpstart your GOG.com library.

 

You own the games, so why buy them more than once?

 

How does GOG Connect work?

 

To connect your library with GOG.com, sign in to your active Steam account via this page. You'll be able to import all the games listed below to your GOG.com library – assuming you own them.

 

The eligible games are limited-time offers made possible by participating developers and publishers, so stay tuned for more games to come.

 

You can connect only one Steam account with your GOG.com library. This process is permanent – choose wisely!

Thank you for posting this, this is awesome.

 

Now to see if I can overload their system.

This is indeed awesome, but sadly, none of the games I own on Steam are eligible right now. Might connect the two accounts in the future. 

 

On a side note, what happens if one of your accounts gets hacked (either GOG or Steam)? It would mean the person who has grabbed your account has access to both libraries. Plus, you'll have to probably re-link it if you have to change your password.

both sites offer 2 factor authentication might be worthwhile firing it on,

 

dosen't Ubisoft already connect to your steam account if you've bought a Ubi game on steam and am sure there are others as well.

Just tried this out (awesome thing to do by the way), and I just do not think I have any eligible games as it just keeps spinning saying processing request and then eventually says it could not reach the service.

I will try later on tonight when I get home, I am at work so perhaps this is why.

T&C mention "The API used for this process supports a limited amount of calls on any given day. You may be placed in a queue before your accounts are connected."

Thanks for the info. That is probably exactly what it is. I will just try it again either later on tonight or another day.

that's it finally found my titles. 8 in all for me. :D

 

since this is going to be an ongoing feature on GOG (they're words not mine "so stay tuned for more games to come.")any chance of having this pinned  along the lines of the EA origin games on the house thread? specially handy for alerting others to new titles being added.

How great is GOG (and CDPR)? Even if you don't dig "The Witcher" series you have to appreciate how they do business, especially when compared the the utter incompetency and indifference so many other gaming company display.

Trying to connect but I'm having issues :(

it takes some time to come through, I started just after I first replied to this thread, and it finally finished when I posted about it finding my 8 titles.

Now i'm getting:

 

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.

 

Now the waiting game begins

I was getting you've no games that qualify, just as you said it's a waiting game.

 

can see the next offering from GOG having users sit in a queue on gog's end to improve the experience, just like when they give away titles every now and again.

 

mind if they where trying to DDos steam they are going about it the right way :D

    • First NVIDIA-powered Windows laptops reportedly debut next week

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
