So my Games shelf is full of games I never bought.
Why is this?

I only bought two games so far (FTL and SettlersII 10yr edition).
Yet, my shelf list a whole bunch of games. Many of them from Ultima Series.

Is this some promo thing?
Is there a way to hide them?

thx

Yes, just click on the game on the shelf, there's a "hide" button there.

And the extra games are probably the free ones you get registering:

You always get a bunch of free games from GOG when you sign up. It's normal.

it's not really a special promo. those are the free games that everyone gets when they sign up for gog. some of them are damn good games, like ultima iv and beneath a steel sky. but if there are any free games that you want to hide, just left-click on the game that you want to hide, then look for a "hide" box to check near the bottom right corner, then repeat the process for any other games that you want to hide. i hope this was helpful.

Indeed. Both of those are fantastic games. There are plenty more here to choose from that are just as good though.

Buy Sacrifice . Trust me .

Don't listen to him, buy Wizardry 8!

Buy War Bonds .

Buy Spelunky!

No wait.....

Leave the gun, take the cannolis!

Play Tyrian.

Don't listen to all these fools,buy Dungeon Keeper 2!!!

The games are automatically added to your account? O_O

I seem to remember having to add them manually, did something change or am I misremembering? >_<

If you enjoy Tyrian I'd recommend you also take a look at Raptor: Call of the Shadows. ^_^

I have it. It's not bad but honestly I don't really even really dig the genre; Tyrian has just always struck a chord with me. That and it being free is why I mentioned it here.

Besides, I just saw his earlier post where he bought a Settlers game. XD He won't be doing ANYTHING ELSE for a LOOOOOONG TIME! :P

They didn't always used to be, but these days any new account created has them all added automatically. If GOG ever adds a new free game to the mix, presumably all the existing accounts will have to add it manually at that point.
