[Deques]

I have Van Helsing: Final Cut in Steam, but I am not eligible for it?

 

[Tenacious-D]

I connected the two but it says I don't own certain games on Steam while I do, Shadowrun Returns for example. Might not be working properly yet.

Also having this issue.

 

[Acidote]

Full list, the green checks are the games I already own. I had some games show as unavailable while owning them in Steam, but that was because I already owned them in GOG too.

 

[Moobabe]

Linked mine but it says it can't find any games (but I definitely have some) - I'll check again later.

 

[beeswax]

This is a great move from GOG, just imported 6 games.

Linked mine but it says it can't find any games (but I definitely have some) - I'll check again later.

Mine did the same, just press the little refresh button inside the box displaying your two account avatars.

 

[warheat]

What if people buy game on Steam, linked it to GOG, and then refund the game on Steam?

If it works, people would be able to abuse it for free games.

 

[Easy_D]

Linked mine but it says it can't find any games (but I definitely have some) - I'll check again later.

Gotta click Refresh a second time, if you haven't already.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

I just added a bunch of games!

 

[MikeHattsu]

Linked mine but it says it can't find any games (but I definitely have some) - I'll check again later.

Any games you've linked will be moved to the 'Unavailable Games' list with a green checkmark.

Try refreshing. That happened to me too.

 

[Bl@de]

I love GOG. Things like that make it the best plattform for consumers ... and they get rewarded with 1% of the sales for games available on multiple plattforms. People voting with their wallet.... *sigh*

 

[Danlord]

I know it's just started as a service so I'm fine with none of my Steam games supported, I don't have much on Steam either that is supported on GOG. The only game I really want DRM free version of is Don't Starve.

 

[Coreda]

From the FAQ on the gog.com/connect page they reserve the right to remove games in such cases. Though if you've downloaded them in the mean time there's likely nothing they can do since it's DRM free.

It's a goodwill gesture and service promotion more than anything.

 

[Henrar]

It seems it doesn't work for me, even though I have some of the eligible games.

 

[Lothars]

I love gog, it's an amazing service.

 

[Mivey]

Not working for me either, it is not recognizing Braid or The Witness. Changed my Privacy options, might try a few hours later.

 

[Htown]

just added a dozen games, sweet

if it doesn't detect them correctly, wait a bit and hit the refresh button on the page

 

[Joqu]

Try refreshing. That happened to me too.

Yup, that did the trick. They might want to sort that out. Pretty painless otherwise though, nice.

 

[Nudull]

Redeemed four games, so far. Very nice.

 

[dave is ok]

No eligible games found, even though I own plenty of eligible games.

 

[DeathSparks]

Added 10 games, surprised to see likes of The Witness and Unreal Tournament GOTY Edition work right out of the box.

 

[Kalor]

No eligible games found, even though I own plenty of eligible games.

Click on refresh again.

 

[JarrodL]

Woah. This is awesome, and unexpected. Very cool of those developers/publishers who sign up their games for this.

 

[mabec]

Heh, wouldn't mind if we could do it the other way around instead: GoG games to Steam account.

 

[xVodevil]

Awesome GOG is awesome!!!

 

[Arkanius]

What an excellent idea.
How is GoG Galaxy Service?

I'm a lover of Steam, but the idea of using GoG to get DRM free copies of my games sounds very very tempting.

 

[dave is ok]

Click on refresh again.

I've refreshed a bunch of times. I definitely own about 10 of these games.

 

[InquisitorAles]

Not working for me, have all games from their list but after steam login it can't find eligible games. Refresh button doesn't do anything, still same result.

 

[Acidote]

Having the gog version of Saint's Row 2 is really nice.

 

[RealityCheque]

If they could let me add .exe files as shortcuts and add a controller-friendly interface I'd switch to using Galaxy as my front end.

Got Braid added to my library. Very nice.

 

[kami_sama]

Is the connect page in Russian for anyone else?

 

[Moobabe]

What an excellent idea.

GoG Galaxy is barebones but pretty cool - you can rollback games if a patch messes it up for you, for example.

So far, nothing out of this world. Let you keep track of playtime, achievements, friend list, automatic updates (can put this on manual) but it lacks many stuff like take screenshots, cloud saving. GOG is improving the client though, so we might get those features in the future.

 

[Pantaghana]

This doesn't require or is limited to games with cd keys only. You just link your steam account to your gog one and the games get automatically redeemed.

Awesome! Thanks!

 

[Inferno313]

Anyone having trouble getting it to work? I own some of these listed games like FTL and To The Moon on Steam, but after linking my accounts, it can't find any eligible games.

 

[epmode]

Not working for me. I have a few games on Steam that I don't own on GOG but GOG isn't detecting them.

 

[John Caboose]

Obviously got some kinks to work out, it's not recognizing my Witcher.

 

[DeathSparks]

Having the gog version of Saint's Row 2 is really nice.

Is it different from the steam version because I've had loads of problems running it through steam.

 

[SmartWaffles]

Keep refreshing if you are sure you have the games on Steam.

Also this is fucking awesome, we owe CDPR this.

 

[stan423321]

Not working for me. I have a few games on Steam that I don't own on GOG but GOG isn't detecting them.

Well duh, it imports SELECT games.

 

[Unai]

This is just amazing.

What if people buy game on Steam, linked it to GOG, and then refund the game on Steam?

If it works, people would be able to abuse it for free games.

If someone whats to go through all that trouble, they would probably just download the torrent instead.

 

[kami_sama]

Not working for me. I have a few games on Steam that I don't own on GOG but GOG isn't detecting them.

Same. I have The Witness and won't detect it.

 

[Deleted member 144138]

CD Projekt <3 GOG <3

 

[Visualante2]

It's much easier to sell a spare game key than an account that has games with it that at any time could be closed off for whatever reason.

Not surprised that J.Blow offered his game for this service.

Create dumby GoG account, sync games. Sell account. New owner changes e.mail address. Sure it's a little work but not that hard for the kind of people who do shit like this.

 

[benicillin]

Damn GOG, that's a real bold move. I love it!

 

[Blade30]

That's really awesome. Well done GOG.

 

[DigitalScrap]

Same here as some others - several games that I have in my Steam library are showing as unavailable (Shadowrun Returns for one example).

I'm sure they will get the kinks worked out.

This is very cool for them to offer this.

 

[tim.mbp]

GOG will likely be my default storefront going forward. They seem like cool dudes.

 

[Experimenter]

Amazing. Non-DRM gaming is so much better.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I was able to link my accounts but it's not importing any games, even though I own a handful of the games on the list. I guess I'll try again later today.
