Quoting: Guest3 more games for my gog collection! GOG connect is a brilliant decision by GOG, i just wonder how they got publishers to go along with this.Well, it's not massively different to buying from say Humble Store and getting DRM Free build + Steam key. Or developers who do the same on itch and their direct websites.

I transferred 3 games likewise (Not a Hero; Dropsy; Amnesia Dark Descent). Plenty of Linux titles this time around on Connect.

Just a reminder, about other "connect" like options on GOG (those are just for a very few games, but still useful):

I kind of wish Connect worked the other way too so I could buy games on GOG and see them on Steam (even when they're not installed - I know you can add installed programs to your client-side library). As it is I'm just likely to forget I own a given game on GOG. Plus Steam's trading cards mean I can get additional rebates down the line.

@Salvatos: Nothing stops Steam from arranging the same thing.

I think GOG implemented the 'Connect' program precisely to counteract this. They're trying to help people consolidate more of their libraries on their service, so as to put a dent in Steam's enormous advantage in offering the convenience of a single launcher / single library / single account / single store.

That could work if GOG Galaxy worked on Linux...

I'd argue Galaxy is only marginally useful for current GOG users, who come to GOG to buy DRM-free games. But to gain more used to DRM Steam users, Galaxy can help. I suppose GOG don't see Linux Steam users as a major point of focus. I.e. DRM-free Linux users are already using GOG, and Steam Linux users are just a small percentage of all Steam users. So I think it's just a matter of priority. Kind of annoying for Steam Linux users I suppose, but can make sense from GOG's priority perspectives.

Well GOG kinda makes me fill a bit guilty since I haven't purchased anything from them but I have around 133 Games in my Library out of the 7000+ Games on steam.... :o
Well sometimes I want to buy things from GOG but then...... oups!!! No Steam key :'(
So at the end I buy games from Humble which they offer both DRM Free + Steam key or directly from steam.
GOG Connect adds my steam games to GOG Library for FREE but when I want to purchase games from GOG they dont give me a steam key... So Why they dont offer a steam key as an optional option ?
Reasonably all Steam Gamers they will continue buying games for Steam and they will wait for GOG to connect their games for FREE! So why GOG is doing this :o?

Why should they promote their direct competitor? GOG connect is GOG's effort, backed by their agreement with developers and publishers who allowed it. Steam didn't do anything for that. If anything, Steam could offer a symmetrical service if they wanted to. Unlike Humble who lately are becoming more of a Steam reseller than being an independent store, GOG actually focus on selling games themselves.
