GoG didn't announce this but GoG Connect is currently hosting Renowned Explorers!

Just letting people know before they miss it:

They didn't create a specific news post about the Connect part, but they certainly announced it here:
https://www.gog.com/news/release_renowned_explorers_the_emperors_challenge_dlc

And here in the forum:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/release_renowned_explorers_the_emperors_challenge_dlc_4379b

And plus, it's announced in the front page now:

Can't believe I missed that. Oh well, ignore this thread please!

It says I don't have it on Steam while I have. That is a problem that never occurred to me before.

EDIT
And now it worked. Strange.

That's probably because you're one of those non-tech savvy people I keep hearing about.

I was wondering - and what about DLCs? Are they going to be transferred or not?

Doesn't look like it. Seems to be only the main game.

Can someone answer to this question as well?

I have Renowned Explorer with the More to explore DLC on Steam.
I have my eyes on the newest DLC, but I'd REALLY, REALLY prefer to get it on GoG rather than on Steam, for the obvious reasons (tl;dr: Gog is best).

However, if I cannot transfer the More to Explore DLC from Steam through GOG Connect, It wouldn't make any sense for me to get Emperor's Challenge on GoG, so I would need to buy it on Steam.

Let's see how it plays out.


By the way, Renowned Explorer is a great game, if anyone likes original strategy games you should really check it out. At this price it's a must-have!

Can't you just use it and find out? You have nothing to lose.

Like I said, it's just the main game. I have the DLC on Steam, but after redeeming on GOG Connect, I only "own" International Society here, not More to Explore.

Grabbed it. Thanks for the heads up.

It's not relevant for those who goes directly on the forum, like me.

I used it, of course.
But still, It would be interesting to have some kind of statement about this.
Seems extremely counter-intuitive that we can connect games but not dlc. And serves no purpose - namely, I won't play the 'connected' base game on GoG, nor buy the other dlcs, if I can't port my currently owned dlcs.

Unfortunately as far as I've understood it, Connect cant get the owned DLC information from Steam Api so GOG can't activate them. Only time you can get DLC's thru Connect is when specific edition offered includes them (ie. Saints Row IV: Game of the Century Edition among others. Sometimes this even gives you DLC you don't own.). Don't see Steam changing the api to provide the information just for GOG's sake.
