So i have a little "problem". I have Witcher 3 on Steam, and recently bought it for GoG (redeemable code), but although i have it in my Library, the base game does not show as Owned, only the expansion.

The expansion was bought here on GoG.
And the base game was bought on uk.gamesplanet.com, they had a promo some time ago.
Yes i know, i should have purchased it directly from GoG, and I'm thoroughly ashamed i did not do so.

Anyways, should i be worried because i don't have much experience with GamesPlanet, but people gave it good reviews.

See attached images if TL;DR.

It shouldn't be an issue. It in now way means your game didn't register, just seems that GOG internally differentiates Witcher 3 depending on where you bought it (for whatever reasons - maybe statistics, or tracking number of copies bough on GOG or as key or retail), and it displays "Owned" on the store only if you bought it directly on GOG. If you activated external code, even from retail box, it won't show it on storefront. But it shouldn't cause any problems, all versions should be exactly the same.

Awesome, great to know, thank you!

Yes, and also note that GOG frequently has more than one version of a game--say you get the basic version of a game; GOG may also sell a collector's version and a Deluxe Edition, or an Enhanced Edition of the same game--but all of them listed as separate games from the version you own! It took me a few minutes to realize why some of my games weren't listed as "owned" in the storefront--it was because I was looking at ads for other versions of my game...;)

I own Pillars of Eternity. I pre-ordered it and GoG can't figure out that I own it. So any time Pillars of Eternity :Hero edition is on sale (the version I own) I always double take because it doesn't show as owned, and GoG doesn't care to fix it at all.

True, i know about that, yet i wasn't aware Witcher 3 had a deluxe version. I know it has a season pass and that's about it, no Hero or Emperor versions either.
Enhanced version is a long way down the road, too.
