Well, it offers movies for sale, at least.

Ugh...every time this topic comes up, I think "New games!"
Then I am disappointed.

Me too

that used to happen with me but now I'm more inclined to think it's just someone posting and the hopes don't get up anymore - that way if whenever it does happen again I can be pleasantly surprised

If there's no sale, no reason to expect GOG connect imo. It's extremely rare to see it outside of sales. Good way to temper your excitement ;)

That's obvious. Once you've connected your accounts and you haven't changed your privacy settings on Steam, they can still track your purchases there, so I suppose they just have what they want (:

For the long run there is no reason to make GOG Connect something regular and predictable, because in such case it would encourage people to buy on Steam and wait for free copies here, on GOG, which is not exactly what they're trying to achieve ;)
Yep, the same here.
And I have some series bought partially on Steam (on Humble, to be specific) and it would be nice to buy the remaining titles here, without rebuying first ones...

I purchased 2 games here today even though i own them on Steam already, did it before and i will continue to do so (GOG is my #1 place for games) - i don't entirely put my faith in GOG Connect even though i appreciate its existence.

On the other hand, when you talk about getting games on Steam.. One day a Humble Bundle appears with 2 games from my GOG wishlist - Valhalla Hills and Legends of Eisenwald. Their total value is $50 on both GOG & Steam but Humble gives you the option to buy them for $0.01 (DRM-Free) or $1 Steam keys, which is insane value. For someone who doesn't have a regular job (money income) for 2 years now due to my health condition (arthritis) - that's an offer i won't refuse. Will i get them on GOG - very likely but not in the near future.

I often wondered why GOG and Humble Bundle don't cooperate, i tried to reach out to them few times but all i got was silence from both sides. Wouldn't be great to increase your customer base through that and at the same time help promote charity? It's a shame i forgot to ask that GOG BizDev Department while i had the chance.

Few years ago i spoke with one of the main people from Groupees. When i asked him why isn't there more GOG games in their bundles he told me that GOG has no problem with that as long as their keys are the only ones in the bundles. Now, if Origin can do that with Humble Bundle and Ubisoft with Uplay keys, why can't GOG? Maybe someone in GOG team is not doing their job smart enough. :p

Regarding GOG Connect not working out in the long run - i don't see why not. It's not something you can do whenever you like - you are time/date limited (usually 5-6 days and in most cases people have troubles connecting accounts). Also i believe there's a really small percentage of people who are using that opportunity. If you own big collection on GOG (there are bunch of gamers here including me) - there's a high chance you already own most of the games which end up on GOG Connect. All in all i think it's a positive thing for everyone and that GOG will stick with it for a long time.

Maybe a Big Tit?

Maybe it should always be possible to get Witcher 1&2 via connect?
After all Gog is part of CDPR

This already is the case (although it is not called connect here):
