PayPalIf you want to grab a DRM free copy on GOG of some more games you have on Steam, act fast as GOG Connect has some more.
What is GOG Connect?
It's a way to link your Steam library with GOG, allowing you to grab an extra copy of your Steam games on GOG directly. It doesn't remove anything from your Steam library, but gives you a permanent copy to have on GOG too. It's a really sweet deal that costs you nothing.
Showing up for me now are:
- Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs
- Darkwood
- Hand of Fate
- Layers of Fear
- POSTAL: Classic and Uncut
- SOMA
- Sunless Sea
A pretty decent selection of games to be able to move over! There might be more, depending on what you own on Steam.

Those games were added already a week ago when the Halloween sale started. The Halloween sale will end in ~10 hours, those games will probably disappear at the same time from GOG COnnect.

I keep checking daily for this; if it were possible, I would've liked to carry everything over to GOG.

I made a [Wine wrapper for Deadly Premonition](https://www.gog.com/forum/deadly_premonition_directors_cut/deadly_premonition_for_linux), which is also available via connect atm (or it *was*... seems to have vanished there now for some reason).
There are also some other games you can claim on GOG if you have them elsewhere already, separately from Connect: https://www.gog.com/reclaim and https://www.gog.com/witcher/backup
(and of these games, I've also made Wine wrappers for the [STALKER games](https://www.gog.com/forum/stalker_series/stalker_for_linux) and [The Witcher](https://www.gog.com/forum/the_witcher/the_witcher_for_linux))

Do you have to have the games installed for it to pick them up? I own Hand of Fate on Steam, but it says "not found in Steam library".

All of which I've done, and there were three other games that did transfer.
A couple of those weren't installed either, so I have no idea why it won't recognize that one game.

It probably only works for boxed copies. I tried the Warband cd-key from steam (*not* steam key, but cd-key from the product page) and it said it was invalid.
Stalker games don't provide cd-keys via steam at all.

Warband is for CIS/Russian territories only. As for the STALKER games not getting CD keys on Steam, looking at the comments it seems that some people got keys for them while others didn't.

Next to "No eligible games found" is a button labeled "refresh". Try hitting it. I wasn't getting TWD: Michionne to connect, and refreshing resolved it.

For some reason Aspyr hates GOG. They've still hadn't implemented the patch for KOTOR 2 which Steam version received, besides the native Linux it also included additional features and 4K support.

You can thank Aspyr for this mess.
