Can't login with Steam. There's no way...

To all parties concerned: Please give this process time.

I went from not being able to connect to being connected but no eligible games found (even though I know that I have several, the most interesting to me being Van Helsing).

I will try this process tomorrow. Hopefully it works (i really want it to work, this was a REALLY nice addition to GOG)

From this batch I have:

FTL
Shadowrun Returns
The Witcher: Enhaced Edition

But everytime I try to connect I get this

WE COULDN'T REACH THE STEAM SERVICE RIGHT NOW.

Please try again later.

Is this common? I can get that many people may be busting the refresh button and using this, but if it's not I wouldn't want to miss the chance to get my Steam games here for some technical problem.
I must say, this feature has come at a perfect time for me to transition definitely from Steam to GoG.
Now all I need is to pick up Darkest Dungeon and I'll be gone for good from that stinkhole.

Kinda strange that I own couple of games on steam and I should be eligible, but for some reason it says, "NO ELIGIBLE GAMES FOUND". One reason that I can think of is that I brought those games from Humble Bundle and they provide Steam keys.

Does that mean if I brought a game from Humble Bundle which they provided a Steam key and I activated that key on Steam I am not eligible? Does a game was supposed to be brought directly through Steam service?

Im a bit confused. Are the games permanently in your new gog account? One can assume it but it doesn't explicitly say it

Also does it feature auto redeem or is it a manual job Everytime?

For those who are concerned about certain games being on GOG connect, like Skyrim or Batman, I would not want to presume, but I "think" that GoG connect games will also have to be games that GoG actually sells themselves, Plus the rights holder/dev would have to agree to allow the game to be made available on connect.

At least this is how I am reading it.

So If Bethesda doesn't sell 90% of its library or Ubi, Rockstar, microsoft, or any other dev/pub make their products available on GoG to begin with, it does not seem probable those games would become accessible via connect.

As for it hurting game sales, Again its my understanding Dev/pubs have to agree to it, and if nothing else its a good will gesture to gamers when they know they have reaped so many extra sales over the years from consumers buying the same thing multiple times across multiple clients for what ever reason. So if it does end up hurting, then it technically is their own doing by making the agreement.

However how is that really any different than the initial agreement to make their product available on key reseller sites in the first place such as Humble or Groupees? It does not seem as if GoG connect is any more damaging than the damaging than the hypothetical damage already done by agreeing to the conditions that people would end up exploiting/utilizing to create that hypothetical in the first place.

EDIT: While it does seem plausible that this could hurt GOG in sales, you have to consider how much does this hurt GOG vs how much does it hurt GOG when basically every new game that shows up on GOG that was released on Steam first you see in its release thread the chorus of people saying time and time again "I want to buy it, but I already have it on steam". It might be a gamble, but It might also pay dividends If they can get gamers to make GOG their PC game client home in stead of steam.

Very interesting.

OMG GOG, after great years on old games, after the great Wticher Trology, this is AMAZING NEWS !!! CHeers mates, its totaly amazing :)

The FAQ is beneath the connect window.

To your first question: yes, they're yours if you redeemed them. The offer doesn't run indefinitely though.

The second one: I think you have to decide which games to import. But they will automatically scan to detect Steam Refund fraude.

yes

It still can't connect to Steam for me, but I perused the list of games someone posted and corelated it with my Steam account. To my surprise, it doesn't look like any of the ~= 350 games on Steam I have qualify at the moment LOL. The games on the list that I thought I had on Steam, I actually already own on GOG and not on Steam. Nonetheless, my Steam account is linked now so any games that show in the future I'll hopefully be able to attach to GOG later on. This is much better and much more visible of a service feature than the "Reclaim games" link that is hidden on the website that worked with some of the STALKER games etc.

Kudos again both to GOG.com, and to the publishers embracing this feature now and in the future for doing this.

Make this happen with Red Faction Guerrilla please, if it ever comes here that is. -_-

This is the point: it is not common for people to own same product multiple times so you can't expect those sales.

If anything, it will help keep the product alive and available for a number of people.

I was wondering how often GOG will scan if some of the games may be refunded/deleted from your steam account. Hopefully not every time I start GOG.

Can someone confirm if this is a one time thing? Some seem to say or imply that it's temporarily, meaning once they increase the amount of games they can add, you are not allowed to if you have already done it?
