I've popped this into deals as the games evidently needed to be purchased from Steam, also it looks to be a time limited promo on certain games. Mods, please feel free to move as you see fit.
GoG.com have today launched GoG Connect.
THIS IS GOG CONNECT
Connect your Steam account and jumpstart your GOG.com library.
You own the games, so why buy them more than once?
HOW DOES GOG CONNECT WORK?
To connect your library with GOG.com, sign in to your active Steam account via this page. You'll be able to import all the games listed below to your GOG.com library – assuming you own them.
The eligible games are limited-time offers made possible by participating developers and publishers, so stay tuned for more games to come.
You can connect only one Steam account with your GOG.com library. This process is permanent – choose wisely!
There seems to be a time limit on being able to import from Steam to GoG. The following titles are currently eligible.
BIT.TRIP RUNNER
BRAID
BREACH & CLEAR
BREACH & CLEAR: DEADLINE
BROKEN SWORD: DIRECTOR'S CUT
FTL: ADVANCED EDITION

Yep, that platform that legitimised PC gaming, lets you have all your PC playing friends in one place, has decent sales and gives you free cloud storage for your games as well as fast download speeds and automatic updates for games. What a disaster Steam is. Sigh.

No, I think you're being very naive if you think that PC gaming would be anywhere near where it is now without Steam and its DRM. Piracy was so rife pre-steam that developers and publishers such as Ubisoft openly stated it just wasnt worth them releasing games on PC, and yes, Ubisoft has their own DRM platform, but thats off the back of Steam.

It's a brilliant deal, effectively a free extra copy of all the eligible games you own the steam version of without all the restrictions of DRM and one you are free to transfer between computers and use as you wish.
Plus as others have mentioned GOG versions tend to have extras and their versions of the older games tend to be better optimised to run on new systems.
Great service, hope it continues to grow....

What's the point in linking the accounts? I can't see any reason to do so.

It's a bit crappy that FTL has to be the 'advanced edition' considering that was a free upgrade that is automatically installed when I install the base game on Steam. I'd love to have FTL in my GOG library but sadly it doesn't detect it or a few other games that are in this list that I own slightly different variants of. Good effort and I'd like to see where it goes but as it stands not yet there.

I have quite a few of these but it isn't reading them for some reason. Still, good to know about it :smiley: Hope it kicks off

Yeah, this is really odd. It won't activate BIT.TRIP RUNNER, Braid, Saints Row 2, Shadowrun Returns or Two Worlds, all of which are on my Steam account and really should have activated.
I'm chalking this up to teething problems or the servers being overloaded.

Definitely teething problems, I'm experiencing a few issues syncing. After all it is only an hour into its lifespan.
