You can now store your card for later use.

When making any purchase with a credit or debit card, you can now select the option to save your card for later use.



If your payment is successful, that card will be remembered for later use. You'll be able to select it during your next checkout without retyping the info every time. Simple, straightforward, and probably very familiar.


We're taking advantage of tried and tested industry-standard solutions used across the world today. Among other things, this means your entered payment data isn't actually kept anywhere on GOG.com. Once your bank approves the purchase, your entered card number is replaced with a unique, encrypted token that can be used only by us to process your future payments, and which cannot be reverse engineered to resolve your card number and data. From time to time, we'll also ask you to verify your information based on a number of security factors, like if you haven't used that card in a long time.

While it's not required, we also strongly recommend enabling Two-Step Login before saving your payment details.

Keep in mind that you can easily remove your saved payment method through the My Account / Orders section. We'll also automatically invalidate all payment tokens for any account that hasn't been used in a long time.


We hope the feature turns out to be particularly useful soon, when you may just feel compelled to click really, really fast.

Vythonaut: Personally, I'm generally satisfied with the direction the things are going regarding GOG: website/ account security has gotten to another level recently (which is the most important for me given the recent problems), a lot of good games are getting released plus the occasional surprise (although I would love more classic games too), support (at least in my case) proved helpful, EDIT, a new feature called InDev that maybe don't appeal to me however lots of folks seem to like it plus it serves as a nice indication that a specific game will be released here "when it is ready".

Of course there are many things that could get improved plus some other "grey" things that it's better not to mention (regional pricing for example or the fact that some features should have been worked out before they started Galaxy) but generally I feel GOG is on the right track right now. Let's see what they can achieve in one year from now!
Yeah, I'm with you. I'm not 100% happy about what GOG does, but they're a business not my personal fiefdom. They try hard and generally respect customers. I don't like or use Galaxy, but obviously a lot of people do. So long as it's optional I'll keep shopping here.

I just don't get emotional about businesses. I'm happy to exchange my money for products that meet my needs. I'm equally happy to not do so. Life is too short to get fussed about this.

No thanks. I prefer not to store my information.

Arinielle: This is going to make attacks on the site happen quite often now because of what is now at stake.
This is the one thing I worry about. It's that "spillover effect" - I like that it's optional, but the fact that people using that option makes me a little less secure (or more accurately, makes GoG user accounts a more tempting target) can be scary.

For the time being, I'm going to hope and choose to believe that it's easier to steal peoples CCs than it is it steal their GoG account, buy GoG games and sell them on resellers. I hope that the added steps are enough of a deterrent and keep GoG lower on the radar of "tempting hack targets."
Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not really keen on impulse purchases. I tend to bundle my purchases onto GOG into multiple items anyway.

I'd rather have one of those checkboxes in Galaxy actually mean something.

I'm all for criticizing GOG (or any business, really) when they behave badly, but some people in this thread seem to have turned kicking them into a recreational sport.

I can't help but wonder: All the people who clearly either didn't bother to read the news post all the way through or didn't understand what it said, these are the very people who believe they're equipped to do a better job protecting their own data than GOG will? Does not compute.

Johny.: Believe me - it's safe as f***. :)
I tend to disagree. It's safer than f***. The idea is rock solid.

But then again nothing is perfect. If you can't go after the math, you go after the implementation. If you can't go after the implementation, you go after the people using it.

They will find a way. They always do. Don't let them smell your fear! Trust no one!!!! Lock yourself in a room. They are coming for you!

End of psychotic episode.

I hope you realize I was jesting. It's quite safe - as safe as a functional real-world system can be at least.

AlexEriksson: It's not selected by default, that is good, however I would like an option to disable this feature altogether.
avatar
omega64: Why? It's not enabled by default.
I use unique cc number for each transaction I do no want to save one by accident or drunken stupor.
An annoyance if anything.
I like seeing people all grumpy over a feature they're not required to use. Reminds me of GameFAQs.

Noooooo, I don't believe you and I don't trust you. Hell, I don't even trust myself. I'm probably the safest person in the world :P.
