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.

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.

 

that was some 5ish hours for me.

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

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
