I have a few games on Steam, but I've completely abandon buying games on Steam/Epic. I know in the past you could transfer game to your GOG account but this feature has been removed. If I install an older GOG Galaxy does anyone know if this feature still works? ..I have a number of games where I own most DLC, but most are missing one or two DLC & I can't afford to repurchase the complete games on GOG.

What I'm asking here, does anyone have a workaround how to get games transferred to my GOG account.

If you go to https://github.com/ABaumher/galaxy-integration-steam you can get a new Galaxy plugin that will import your Steam info into Galaxy. There is no way to transfer games from your Steam account to your GOG account.

It must have been in another Matrix.

Do a search online, there's still instructions how to do it. ..It was a feature GOG had about a year or to when it first started up. If you continue to search online you will find the year the feature was removed because nobody hardly used it.

EDIT: The feature was part of GOG strategy to gain user base. Am 100% confident there will be other users that will remember this feature, but it got so little use GOG decided not to maintain this feature, so it was discontinued.

The feature itself was not around very long. I think it lasted just over a year before it was discontinued.

I didn't know that you can TRANSFER games from other publishers to GOG. But as I mentioned: it's probably not the this Matrix.

I can't post links in thread at the moment, but this is how it works.

After you have linked account, for example Steam, you then press "import". Provided the game is on GOG, it wiill give you a copy of that game on GOG & you still keep the game on steam also..

The "import" link/button should still be there in the old GOG Galaxy apps, but I don't think it functions anymore. It needs someone with the old apps to check, but it's most likely disabled/removed on the server side.with updates over the years. .

You are talking about GOG connect, it only alows you to import some games that developers allows GOG to give you if you own another copy in steam, it was never about importing full Steam account into GOG

Do a search online & look for the website "pocket-lint" but include "transfer Steam game to GOG account" with-in the search. It clearly stated you can transfer games to your account.

I'v been around long enough to remember this feature, My GOG account goes back as far before the feature was implemented but I never used it, It's user like me is-to why GOG discontinued it, because practically nobody used it & many new users that are reading this thread will not be aware such feature did exist at some point.

Do a search online as evidence is still out there proving such feature did exist, but is no longer available

Amazing how Smiths create their own reality. This is the same level of creativeness as claiming that GOG has no DRM. Understand, Steam or other publishers have completely f* off on GOG. Transferring a leased product in the age of DRM to another publisher? You've lost your mind. Today, if you have a rented product from publisher A and it's also available from publisher B, you have to buy two copies, because no one will give you a product for free even though you "own" it. That's how DRM works. And no, NO ONE allowed the transfer of usage rights to GOG, nor from GOG backwards. You can link your games in at most (which does not mean that you transfer the rights in any way!) or wait for the mercy of one developer or another who occasionally allows you to rent a product once and transfer the rights to various publishers (I remember probably a few, just a few such cases in the last ten years).

Transfer did not work that way. Essentially the game being transferred to your GOG account needed to be in the GOG catalog.

Basically GOG was giving you "free game from they catalog" provided you meet the following.

**You already own the game on another platform, It only applies to Steam account at that time. can't remember if it applies to Epic account. .

Can't remember if Epic was around then at that time, but if they were, yes it would apply the Epic account too.

It's no different what's happening today where games are given away free. You can't transfer a game if it's not in they catalog. That's how it worked.

Sure.

It's what my browser first returned when I typed in "g", I must have visited it daily for years. I got a dozen or so freebies from it. I regret not buying it all. Good times.
