The Quest is getting HD version? I still barely played it, even though it was really enjoyable (was too busy cleaning backlog).
Introducing GOG Connect
Connect your Steam account and grow or jumpstart your GOG.com library.
Today, we're launching a new program called GOG Connect. The premise is simple: connect your Steam account and add your eligible games to your GOG.com library.
Whether you're checking us out for the first time or have been with us for a while, GOG Connect gets you DRM-free versions of your games, digital extras, and a whole lot of freedom of choice (like whether you go with the GOG Galaxy client or not). It gets you our take on game ownership, and we say: why buy the games more than once?
Thanks to our awesome partners including Deep Silver, Harebrained Schemes, Jonathan Blow's Number None, TaleWorlds and more, you can now add more than 20 games to your GOG.com library if you previously purchased them on Steam.
The full list of games will always be available on connect.gog.com, starting with these and more:
- The Witness
- FTL: Faster Than Light
- The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut
- Galactic Civilizations 3
- Trine Enchanted Edition
- Saints Row 2
- Shadowrun Returns
- The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
While GOG Connect will stick around, the available games will come and go. These are limited-time offers made possible by participating developers and publishers, so stay tuned as we bring new titles onboard in the future (and grab your copies before they go away)!
For a bit more library-building, a bunch of our favorite titles will also be discounted up to -85% all week long, including The Witness, Saints Row: The Third, System Shock 2 and more. You can check out all the deals here. The sale will last until June 6, 12:59 PM UTC.
Having the game you have on Steam, only DRM free? Pretty obvious. Yes GoG isnt getting money if you purchase it from them as well, but it makes you use their platform more so win for them.
Doesn't the GOG version have this neat little extras nobody wants? Maybe because of that... I don't get it either.I know I am being obtuse but the popularity of DRM eludes me a bit, so what good exactly does me a DRM free version of a game that I already own?
Seriously, GOG? I have counted at least four (Xenonauts, To The Moon, Saints Row 2, Shadowrun Returns)...GOG said:NO ELIGIBLE GAMES FOUND
It's rather simple actually. Gog.com constantly offers me games that I already own on Steam. They are in their grab bags, which is why I don't buy those. This way, they can offer me something I'm actually interested in. Which is obviously also in gog.com's own interest, as the chances that I buy something are higher.Can anyone explain to me what purpose this serves for me, GoG, Steam and the Devs, as if I was a retard? Cause I don't really get it. How is that good for anyone?
