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!

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

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough" by Usama Jawad We have seen Microsoft resort to questionable tactics in the past to get more customers to use Edge, such as "bribing" people to use Edge, testing new behavior so that Edge loads automatically on startup every time, and pressuring OEMs to exclusively bundle Edge in Windows PCs. However, the company often receives pushback not only from customers but also from the Browser Choice Alliance (BCA). Now, the collective has penned an open letter to the Redmond tech firm to highlight its dissatisfaction with its practices. For those unaware, BCA is a coalition that touts several browser vendors as its members, including Google Chrome, Midori, Opera, Vivaldi, BrowserWorks, and Wavebox. Its latest open letter to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella emphasizes that "enough is enough" and that user choice on Windows should be respected. It claimed that the company is abusing its dominant position in the PC space to push customers to its first-party browser, even if they don't want to use it. To do this, it resorts to shady tactics, some of which we highlighted at the start of this piece. It says that Microsoft is making it very difficult for users to set their preferred browser across all touchpoints. This is problematic as PCs are becoming even more prevalent in the AI era, so user choice is being restricted across even more devices, further frustrating users (and competing browser vendors). As such, BCA has urged Microsoft to take the following actions to level the playing field: Allow browser suppliers to compete for preinstallation and default deals with Windows PC manufacturers End dark patterns targeted at users seeking to download and effectively use other browsers (including as system-level default) Bring back the ability for users to make switching default browsers simple and transparent with a “single click” change for all relevant file types and apps (including PDFs) Open all web links in the users’ selected system-level browser of choice Eliminate manipulative Microsoft-exclusive banners pushing Edge in Windows, including when users are searching for other browsers Stop using operating system updates to push users back to Edge Remove the restrictive configurations of existing S mode devices that block the usage of third-party browsers. It believes that all browsers should compete on merit, as this will drive innovation and healthy competition. Despite its strong wording and publication of the letter openly, it's unclear if Microsoft will pay any heed to the BCA and if this will result in any tangible downstream benefits. We'll likely find out in due time.
