Free GOG.com Copies of Some Steam Games

GOG.com unveils GOG.com Connect, which offers customers DRM-free versions of eligible games they previously purchased on Steam at no additional cost. They say other games may become available like this in the future, and they kick things off with a list of 22 games that can be imported if you already own them. This will be permanent, though you have only five days to connect your account and claim your copies. Word is they will offer additional titles in the future: "You'll be able to permanently 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." There is a FAQ noting that you won't get an extra key for games you already own on both services, and that they reserve the right to remove games from your library if they no longer appear in your Steam library, though there's no way to take back downloaded copies of their DRM-free games. Connecting accounts at this time brings up a warning that completing the process may take "up to several days" due to "exceedingly high demand."
