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

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
