I was wondering if GOG would ever do something like this and it's really cool to see them finally dip their toes in it. For a limited time using GOG Connect a few Steam games can be redeemed on GOG for fully DRM free builds.

There are 12 Steam games that support Linux in the list right now (I don't know why GOG forces upper case for names):
- BIT.TRIP RUNNER
- BRAID
- BREACH & CLEAR
- BREACH & CLEAR: DEADLINE
- BROKEN SWORD: DIRECTOR'S CUT
- FTL: ADVANCED EDITION
- PROJECT ZOMBOID
- SHADOWRUN RETURNS
- TO THE MOON
- TRINE ENCHANTED EDITION
- VVVVVV
- XENONAUTS

Head over to connect.gog.com to check out the full list.

While GOG Connect will stick around, the games available will come and go. These are limited-time offers made possible by participating developers and publishers.

They also put a bunch of games on sale, check them out on our Sales Page. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I tried all day at work (bouncing off my internet server as a proxy using sshuttle) and could never get it to work.. I went home and logged in directly to gog and it just came up and said it had connected and showed all my games that it had found for the offer. So, I don't know if the proxy was an issue, but just throwing it out there in case anyone else has a similar setup..

For me it worked out of the box (Poland, Ubuntu 16.04, Firefox). Trine, Shadowrun Returns, Saints Row 2 apeared in the library. Saints Row 2 is from the bundle, so it means that this is not a problem.

Quoting: TheBardGOG surely have a lot of potential but as of today, linux and multi-player users on GOG are second-zone citizens.

Blame developers for missing Linux versions on GOG, especially ones like AOW III. They literally said they don't want to bother updating another version, so it's them who treat GOG users as second class citizens.

Well, if they don't want my money, it's their loss. While I might enjoy playing their game, I do not lose anything not doing it.
