I have one PC to my home and one to my girlfriend. Can I install the games that I have bought through Galaxy to both computers the same time? I am talking and for the offline and the online games...


Thank you in advance!

I'm afraid that wld be against GOG policies. U r free to install as many copies in ur household but not in ur gf's place.

While they of cos hv no way to check, if u respect GOG & the games' developers i wld suggest u dun do that.

Not quite true. You are free to install on as many pcs as you own. See, FAQ answers 1 and 2. Provided you own both the computers, then there is no conflict. If you the user will be the only one playing the games (single player), even if you don't own the computer, there is no conflict.

You just aren't allowed to share your account with other users, although technically there is no way for GOG to enforce that. It's a "in good faith" policy. By share account I mean, say you have 500 games on your account. You should not then give access of your account to all your friends to download games. They have to make their own accounts and buy the games themselves.

Online games.. I don't know much about Galaxy and/or games that use it for online gaming so I don't know if you can start it on two computers at the same time and play the same game online using that same account.
My guess is it would probably work.
Of course Galaxy works about as well as tommy's keyboard.

Unfortunately i think it's the other way round. It's not quite true that "if you the user will be the only one playing the games (single player), even if you don't own the computer, there is no conflict." Pls see ans to FAQ qn 9. This only applies if the computers r in the same household.

The rest shd be logic & pretty obvious, eg. not sharing accounts, only playing the games urself, not letting others copy ur installers & so on.

However, if u need install games on both ur PC @ home & ur laptop (which u can bring to ur gf's place to play) i dun think it shd be a prob.

If u need confirmation i suggest u write in to Support for clarifications.

Long story short, there is nothing stopping you from doing this.

OT, can we get a Blue to take a couple of those questions marks off there? I think one is enough. :P

Technically, you can install your GOG games on any PC you happen to come across and play all of these copies at the same time.

Legally, you aren't allowed to install games on any PC you come across. The only way you are allowed to install PC games on any PC device you come across is if they are in the same household (I believe it means what you and your family or roommates have access to, because laptops are mobile and aren't bound to any one specific household).

Choose the answer you prefer.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: You should buy another copiy for anyone not in your household/family.

Multiple question marks, a clear sign of madness.

and the question travels in the special bus.

Truthfully i don't think it really matters, so i say install them and let her play them.

Keep in mind, i have like 800+ games i could be playing, (GoG, HB, 360, PS2, PS3, Gamecube, SNES, Genesis, etc) and effectively loaning a game to a friend (not playing it) would mean literally nothing. Evey game you add to your collection/library decreases the chances the game will be played. I have hundreds of games i bought and haven't yet installed or tried yet. :(

So here's what i say:

Find one game she would enjoy.
Install it.
Don't leave the installer with her.
If she wants a different game uninstall the old game and then add a different game.
Most importantly: recommend she buy the game for herself if she enjoys it.

Everyone remember that it's not a lost sale if she never would have bought it. However if she plays it and loves it, that highly increases the chances she would buy it herself at some point in the future (Literally the reason i bought all the Soul Reaver games when i was loaned them from a friend like 15 years ago)

If the game isn't very expensive and she loves it (say, Triple Town for example, or ToME) make sure she has a GoG account and gift her a key. It's a fact once you make an initial purchase somewhere, your odds of buying more are highly increased.

Thank you for your answers!

So it is a YES.

I don't want it for my girlfriend, it is for me, she doesn't plays but I am many hours there and I want to play GOG. I respect GOG and all this effort.

Good gaming guys!

Are you sure you want to do that? :P

I've got a better idea: get a mistress.

That way your girlfriend will think you're with your mistress, your mistress will think you're with your girlfriend, and you could be safely at home playing GOG games.

Erm, pls note i can only be sure it's ok if u r using ur laptop @ ur gf's place to play the games & not using ur gf's PC. It's gd of u to clarify here instead of going ahead do it anyway but i wld suggest u best check with Support like i said earlier. Happy gaming! :)

Edit: Oh, in any case dun neglect ur gf if u playing @ her place. Girls can get jealous over u spending too much time on playing games instead of with them. ;)
