kmc Posted June 1, 2016 This isn't to play your GOG games on Steam. This is to add certain games from your Steam library to your GOG account. 0 Share this post Link to post

Temporarily on a case-by-case basis. So redeem while you can! If you see a new game pop up on the list, grab it right away. I'm still having trouble connecting my accounts. Steam servers must be getting hammered with this. EDIT: Apparently the system has crashed lol. GOG is advising people to try again on Friday if they're having problems. 0 Share this post Link to post

Doom64hunter Posted June 1, 2016 This sounds like a surefire way to ensure that nobody with a Steam account will buy the respective games on GOG again, except out of solidarity. Because why buy a game on GOG to get the DRM free version when you could get both when buying it on Steam? 0 Share this post Link to post

kmc Posted June 1, 2016 Also, for what it's worth, there are already DRM-free games on steam : http://steam.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games 0 Share this post Link to post
MusicallyInspired Posted June 1, 2016 Another nice thing GOG has over Steam is the extras. Sometimes in the form of alternate versions of the game, strategy guides, wallpaper, soundtracks, etc. 0 Share this post Link to post
Pencil of Doom Posted June 1, 2016 Ya ya, Steam may have some drm-free games, but nothing beats GOG in terms of drm-free, besides Steam is like smoking and it's bad, so i'd rather use GOG since it's much more reliable, plus you get bonuses when buying a game, whereas on Steam you do not. 0 Share this post Link to post
MusicallyInspired Posted June 1, 2016 I personally don't think there's anything wrong with Steam. It provides many services that GOG does not (and in some cases cannot). But it's nice to see the accomodation for people who preferthe alternative. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted June 1, 2016 It's just a way to entice some Steam users to open a GOG account. Cool, I've now gotten three new games on GOG: VVVVVV, Braid, and BIT.TRIP RUNNER. Those are games I got from the Humble Indie Bundle several years ago, so I already had a DRM-free version in addition to the Steam activation key, and so I never felt the need to buy them again on GOG. I also notice that the goodies for them are pretty poor. VVVVVV has some early prototypes so it's always nice if you like this kind of things, but say for example BIT.TRIP is a game I only enjoyed for its soundtrack (which was available in the HIB). Most of the games in their selection, I either don't have them on Steam or already have them on GOG. 0 Share this post Link to post
