So I imagine this topic has been disucussed a million times, however I am new to Gog. I have 83 games on Steam and have been using it for over 14 years now. I like Steam, and I don't like it. I like the idea I don't have to keep a CD\DVD and serial key hidden in a safe place in case my drive crashes. Recently I installed Steam becasue of Gog Connect and was able to start my collection on Gog, Ziggurat, Banished, and Jotun. Three games that I don't play much as of late. i originally thought I could link more games becaue I originally saw a list that had a dozen or so games that I do currently play. Wish all the released titles were still available.

Can anyone tell me how often games are available and if I have Gog Galaxy, do I somehow get notified? I feel like I almost have to search for this information daily so I don't miss out. thx.

Usually a news article happens or a major sale occurs. But, part of the incentive is getting you to look at the home page every day.

EDIT: You could go to connect itself, every day, or set it as your home page.

OK fair enough, but I don't subscribe to any of the social media feeds and not sure where I would see the news feed. When I open gog galaxy would I be notified somehow?

When you click store, scroll down and on the right hand side you'll see a news feed with the latest releases etc

Here - https://www.gog.com/connect

And in the news feed/Socials whenever there are games added to GOG Connect.

How many people do you estimate do that?

Nice! Thanks. How often do these roll out? I was hoping that I could go back and load previous games. I purchased Project Zomboid on Steam last month and was hoping to add it to my GoG account butt doesn't seem like it works that way.

To be honest, I would think when you open Galaxie, it would automatically notify me. That would be the best way to not miss it.
