what is going on with gog connect? i havent understood almost nothing. if you connect the steam account with gog account you will have free games? and something else, this game on the list that gog editor posted is going to be yours for free?
plz help me to understand

Got my profile set as public in Steam, I can see 3 games in my steam account that are in the available list
(the witcher, trine & to the moon) but i get a "no eligible games found" when i try to do the connection. If i refresh, i still get the same message.

Any help?

Alright -- as you said I think it will take several hours but in the end I'm confident it will work

Did Surgeon Simulator just get added? I added 6 games yesterday and this one just came up today.

Too bad I don't have the full meal deal of SoaSE Rebellion. I don't have the DLCs or the soundtrack so I can't match it here. Oh well.

My situation is the same as the above two users: accounts are connected, steam settings are all public, and I previously purchased on Steam at least one game that is supposed to be available, but the GOG Connect page still says NO ELIGIBLE GAMES FOUND.

1) Meanwhile, the FAQ reads: "The API used for this process supports a limited amount of calls on any given day. You may be placed in a queue before your accounts are connected." Since I've already connected the accounts, I assume this does not apply to me.

2) Clicking the REFRESH button under NO ELIGIBLE GAMES FOUND presents the following message:
"Due to exceedingly high demand, processing the queue may take up to several days. Don't worry, you will be able to add your games regardless of the wait. You can close this page now. Return later to manually add the games to your library."

^This is where the confusion comes from. No one knows what "processing the queue" means. The queue of what? The queue for what? I suggest adding an entry in the FAQ along the lines of:

Q: My accounts are connected, and I'd previously purchased eligible game(s) on Steam, but no "Import Games" is visible on the GOG Connect page. Why?
A: It may take up to several days to detect Steam games so that they may be imported into your GOG library. Once found, an option to import them will be available on the GOG Connect page.

^BTW, does clicking refresh again bump you to the back of the queue? If so, add a message saying that the button only needs to be clicked once.

^BTW, there is no "Import Games" button visible at all if no games are deemed eligible. I suggest making this button visible to all and graying it and making it unclickable for those who can't use it. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know to look for it unless you read the FAQ.

3) While it's likely of little significance, I've removed my endorsement of GOG Connect from Facebook due to the confusing presentation of this offer.

Unless Steam is going under (HA) I don't see how this benefits GOG in any way. It just costs them a bunch of repurchase sales.

No it hasn't.
The publishers are granting us, the software license holders, access to a license (which they've already effectively been paid for) for a version of the software which is available via gog.

GoG are acting as intermediaries

I have a question :

In the FAQ we can read :

If I no longer have the game in my Steam library, do I still keep it on GOG.com?
Answer : If a game is removed from your Steam account for any reason, such as through manual deletion or a refund – we reserve the right to remove the games from your GOG.com library.

So, does this mean that we have to permanently leave our Steam profile privacy setting to "public", otherwise we may lose the games because gog couldn't check anymore that we still have them ?

I think 99% that there is no problem to left the steam profile as private, or friends only, after the process.
Still, if you have to leave again as public for another new bunch of games to import to gog library, then, probably, will be a check.

I don't have much interest in the current supported games seeing as i have played my fill of the games i own already, what i am interested in is the games that have issues on Steam, for example; i've been wanting to finish Beyond Good and Evil ever since i played it on release but the current state of the Steam version is nigh on unplayable on a modern OS. That said i do not buy games twice for the same platform as a matter of principle, that includes ultimate edition and enhanced editions, so while i've been really wanting to get the GoG version several times i just couldn't bring myself to pay for the same game twice, i'd rather never finish it than paying for it twice, guess i'm stubborn like that.

But yeah, great initiative, i hope Beyond Good and Evil gets added to that list at some point.

Just to report, that it now saw and connected the 6 games I have on my steam account.

It took a good 3 hours maybe or more, after I set the account to public. But now all is good :)

And yet, as yesterday, I can't even try to log my steam account. I click on 'Connect you accounts' and it loads, and loads and so on... until it time outs. Anyone had something similar?

You know. I never expected this to happen...
Great move GOG, absolutely fantastic! :D

Thanks, That worked.

So excited about this. :D Now I can stop wasting money on re-purchasing games, and spend it only on new ones I'm excited about, a definite plus. :)
