Bring back GOG Connect
Added by
Akylen gog.com/connect - it was used to occasionally get free games added to your library that you owned on Steam.
Please bring it back.
CreeperofDoom Buying a game from a different Platform and getting it on GOG doesn't seem quite right does it?
You can just buy the desired game again on GOG to get it here and DRM Free, Supporting both the Publisher and GOG
gonsi Wasn't it disabled because for longest time no publisher was willing to take part in it?
There is little point in supporting feature that is not going to be used. At this point if someone wants to give gog copy of their game someone owns on steam they can probably just deliver them gog keys.
Fuguss I personally barely even play games anymore but do make it a point to keep an offline storage of my collection. I am a hoarder like that.
But one thing I have zero desire to do is pay for games I don't even play much anymore from my old steam days, especially at full price.
But would definitely enjoy actually having GoG Connect back to update my library. The only games I have paid for recently have all been GoG games for the new ones, but that whole old catalogue I am just not able to do.
If you guys just offered a GoG Connect option where we had to connect it and pay 5% of the cost, many of us would gladly poor some cast into that. All you would have to do is make sure a steam/epic/other account can only ever be linked to a single GoG account and the exploitation potential would basically be nil.

TrishaCat I really liked GoG Connect. If I buy a game it should be mine, period. I shouldn't have to buy it multiple times.
BJCFou yes, GOG connect come back will be cool :)
gingeraiyle Yeah, now would be a really good time to bring back GOG Connect to allow people to move away from Steam a little more easily, especially if we were able to import most of our library .. I think now with people having more awareness of what companies are doing with digital media and how little they care about the consumer, it could be an incentive to get people to actually make the switch to one that actually supports the user experience. Doubt this will happen, but one can dream. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
tibmag82 [*] killed ;D
tibmag82 * killed :)
tibmag82 good feature kiled
darkhog I want them to bring it back. And add a "reverse GOG Connect" if we're at it, allow game publishers to put in Steam codes that would allow people who own specific title on GoG to also activate it on Steam.
Nonostanovich As Warner don't make anything to remove Denuvo from Mad Max on Steam. So it would be nice to redeem on GoG.
gonsi It was removed, because for longest time there were no new games offered. There is no incentive for publishers to do that sadly.
mimiguy06 I'm so sad... I've install for the first time GOG. I want to use connect functionality, for use my steam games here. And I understand that the service has ended.
Why I don't have use more earlier !
I will uninstall GOG and never come back here (unless if you reactivate the GOG connect)...
EvilAaron Sad to see this end, was a very cool project. Would really appreciate it's return.
Fuguss I would definitely support this as well but I don't think it will happen due to 1 major sticking point.
I don't think GoG can do this at all without the permission of the developer for each game they put on it. And you can imagine how many want to do that versus salivating at the idea of forcing you to pay them twice for the game to get it here.
Thijminecraft02 Please.
Ke0zom I would also be interested to have GOG Connect back, that's a great feature, that's what got me interested in GOG Galaxy when it was still in beta, I didn't have any games at the time and didn't see the point of installing yet another launcher, GOG Connect is just perfect for new players who wouldn't really be okay with installing an empty launcher, most people would think just: "Too bad, I'm going to install this game on Steam".
missladygirlchan Agreed. It was a good incentive and part of why I started up with GOG over Steam in the first place.
