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.

This is so great. I was about to get Xenonauts on gog aswell, and FTL.

Strange, I own VVVVVV, TO THE MOON, and BIT.TRIP RUNNER on Steam, but GOG says "NO ELIGIBLE GAMES FOUND". Maybe it's region based or something?

well i gave it a shot too, i own some titles but they're listed as not eligible, maybe it doesn't accept external key activated games?

after a few tries it worked!

I have a few games in Steam that I can see them in the list, but the page shows me this message:

"NO ELIGIBLE GAMES FOUND"
gnaag Jun 1, 2016
Same for me. A have several of the supported games, but it says not eligible for all of them.

They have been having a few technical issues at rollout. May be worth trying again tomorrow as it's going to be pretty popular today. Connecting my account took forever.

It is dependent on Steam's API as well, so if Steam is having issues it will also affect it. Mine also found zero eligible games, so I don't think it's quite right, or it's stupidly region locked.

ooh I miss read that :(.
Well I only got FTL on steam, but I cant redeem that one.

Same here. "No eligible games found". Probably just a bug that will get fixed later.

I have nearly all games listed as eligible, but none gets connected. I bet Gabe said "NO, NO, NO!" :D

My games aren't detected either. I wonder if this doesn't work for steam keys bought in humble bundles?
