Would you like to have option to create giveaways for GOG games?
I'm slowly moving to GOG, so yeah, that would be a nice addition!

It would probably work better as a separate site, or at least a separate section with its own login, so that those few people who would be interested in it but still don't have Steam accounts and don't want to make them could come in, with the added benefit of people not asking "were's muh steemkey >:(" once they win.
But yeah, I do hope GOGgifts are feasible.

https://www.goggifts.com doesn't exist, better register it before it's too late :D
BTW, thank you for the giveaway.

I would love to migrate fully to GOG, maybe one day.

Same, I'm starting to buy more games there and less on Steam.

Don't you need something like the Steam API for that?

There's no proper way to check if gifts have been activated on gog. Until that happens, there wont be a gog gifts.
That said, I would actually use gog if they ever introduced or allowed for a proper gifting platform.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just curious here: What would you consider a proper way to check gifts?
Because if you buy a gift on GOG you can later check in your account if said was activated and on which account.

Its a nice idea, but one of the things that SG benefits from is the fact that there are tons of bundles and freebies out there. If you stripped all of the freebie and bundle keys from the website, you'd almost certainly find that the number of remaining giveaways is probably less than 1-2%. Since (as far as I'm aware) there are no GOG bundles, and that the userbase on GOG is quite small by comparison, and gift/key distribution would need to be done at retail or sale rather than bundle prices, the number of gifts would probably be so limited as to not make for a viable / sustainable website or community. Im sure that GOG would appreciate the increased patronage however.

I think that diversity only benefit this plase. Besides I guess every game on GOG is ROW wille on Steam we have so many restrictions that only games from third party stores and bundles are giftable on Steamgifts.

Gog doesn't support gifting at all in certain regions, even within same region is blocked (for items with regional pricing).
Comment has been collapsed.
When I asked GOG support about region restrictions theys answered this "Hello, I just asked my superior just to be sure and no gift codes are region locked, so you can purchase gifts for any of your friends." It was about year ago.
Comment has been collapsed.
I mean they actually prevented buying gifts from affected regions. Anyways, looks like it's no longer case and you just have to pay extra to be able to gift (~3x price in RU).
Comment has been collapsed.
Obviously, the volume of giveaways would be way smaller, but then again, bundle giveaways were against the SG rules in the beginning and there was still some selection of giveaways.
Since (as far as I'm aware) there are no GOG bundles
Yes, no pure GOG bundles, unfortunately. I know there were some that included a GOG code for a game or two, but those were a real rarity.

I'd like to see it, but understand some of the roadblocks other users have pointed out.
I've always enjoyed GOG for the DRM free games, but found it a little inconvenient to use. Once I stopped hating on GOG Galaxy though and accepted it, most of those problems are solved. One click install, cloud saves, etc, it's all simple and convenient now if I'd like to install a game on a whim. Only downside is that I still have to add it to Steam/launch through Steam if I'd like to use my Steam controller, which I tend to prefer over my other controllers. I wonder if anyone's got a script to auto-add installed Galaxy games to Steam. Hmmmm... might have to write that later if I can't find one.

I think you've convinced me to download GOG Galaxy and to give it a try at least
Comment has been collapsed.
I really don't like having another game client/manager/whatever, but honestly it does allow for impulse plays on a whim, which is kinda important to me. Just one ssd, not a whole lot of disk space, but decent internet - so I juggle and swap out games a lot for space. I like one click install and cloud saves as a result. :)

The games are still drm free. And the gog drm(if you want) exists for a while now. The only thing new here is that now you can have your own profile.
Comment has been collapsed.
There's actually no GOG DRM. There's a optional client that can make it easier to download your DRM-free games and keep them updated, but it's not, and does not serve as, DRM.
Comment has been collapsed.
i think it helps find players with multiplayer games but you can 100% not use it.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's still DRM-free. The GOG Galaxy client is optional, the profiles are optional, and neither introduces any DRM.

Steamgifts + GOGgifts = PCgifts.com
Fully supporting the idea!
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, and OriginGifts and uPlayGifts, please!
Better to just create a single one: GameGifts!

Maybe is not posible to add "value" to GOG games because a lack of an API¿? Anyway if this will implemented... add a filter for GOG / Steam games as a high priority. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Does that mean people need a GOG account upon registration?
Comment has been collapsed.
I wouldn't mind the suggested option and I like GOG, but this claim made me chuckle.
GOG evolve so quickly
That they needed 10 years to introduce profiles, is a perfect example for GOG not evolving quickly. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Having different aims as a company doesn't necessarily implies slow progress. What makes you think that:
Profiles=Evolution
Why not:
Profiles=Devolution
I like the new GOG profiles btw. Just asking what your reasoning is and applying deconstruction.
For me, what I consider a sign of evolution is how they managed to modify their ideology of only selling "old games" to selling the newest releases. For example you can look today and they are featuring Battletech and Frost Punk, two new shiny games.
Comment has been collapsed.
New games was one step, six years ago. And all it did is to make them equal to every other store out there, in that regard. So I'd still not see any quick evolution.
All that is special about GOG today and always has been: DRM free. In all the years after the only unique addition was imho GOG connect.

I think it would be nice, not like anyone would force people to create them or join them, but gog is getting better and better, and it would be nice to have GOG section in site.

With all the crap that is going on with Steam, I'm trying to move over to GOG and support them more. I'm all about it.

As far as I'm concerned GOG are a bunch of toxic fascists so no. It should be on a separate site.
Comment has been collapsed.
Your comment makes absolutely no sense. Generalizing also denotes a lack of rational thinking from your part.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't think it makes no sense to not have GOG gifts on a site called "Steamgifts".
A separate site, on which I wouldn't set foot, sounds okay I guess.
Comment has been collapsed.
The thing is... this was not your main reasoning, if you read your own words your reason was: because they all are fascists.
People of every ideology already converge on this site and every other non echo chamber site on the internet. GOG forums and steamgifts discussions are no exception. Maybe you found some awful people there but again, generalizing is just dumb.

Just to make things clear, I wasn't talking about the users, I was talking about the staff.
Every single employee while performing his professional duties represents the company. So generalizing about the company from the open actions of a few employees seems absolutely fair.
Comment has been collapsed.
I misunderstood then, I thought you were talking about its users. I kinda get your context now, I haven't had bad experiences with their staff but I have read some reports about not paying overtime and bad working conditions there.

I don't care about GOG anymore so i think we don't need GOG gifts here.
Comment has been collapsed.
WE, as a whole do not need it because YOU do not care? Are you our overlord or something like that?
Comment has been collapsed.
lol
Nah, i just think that only a few people here care about GOG and mixing GOG with Steam games would just cause confusion. Might be better to create an own site for GOG gifts. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Steam has the monopoly today. If GOG grows, Steam will need to change their policies to what we want, make popular updates. Competition is always good for the costumers.
So yes, I'd like GOG gifts.
Comment has been collapsed.
As long as I can filter out those giveaways or they're on a separate site, do what you want. I have absolutely no interest in non-steam games.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is not really a suggestion. Just want to point out that GOG now has social profiles like on Steam were you can see wich games you have. Maybe it is time to allow create giveaways for GOG games? I honnestly dont now if it's possible or not right now to sync your GOG account with other sites. But if you can do this then it will be neat feature for steam gifts. I know it's STEAMgifts but GOG evolve so quickly and right now very consumer friendly platform and because of this I would like to see this feature in the future.
I love this game. I hope winner will enjoy it. And sorry for my English :)
