Oh, people understood your explanation, the problem is you are explaining something that has nothing to do with the topic. May as well go into a thread asking how to perform an oil change and explain to everyone how a projector works. Nice information, but not at all relevant.

This is the type of thing I might do under normal circumstances, but even I have to believe it's a lost cause. I'm just waiting for it to die down in a month or six...

yyahoo: I'd really like to seem someone try this, because as several others have stated, it should conceivably work with Galaxy "repairing" the files that differ between the two versions.
It worked on Terraria. :) To install Terraria from scratch, Galaxy downloads about 117MB, importing the Steam folder only requires it to download 63MB so it's definitely keeping some files.
I checked out what the differences between the versions are and it turns out that GOG's release includes a much bigger dotNET installer because the one Steam includes is an 'online' installer that doesn't actually include anything and just downloads things from Microsoft. GOG includes a self contained offline dotNET installer in keeping with the DRM-free nature of their releases. This installer is about 50MB which accounts for most of what Galaxy was downloading. It verified and kept the majority of the game's resource files which I think proves my point nicely.
There will probably be a bit of downloading but I think if the OP imports the files from his/her friend's Steam installation of the game they should save quite a bit of bandwidth.

Done. At least the principle is sound. How much bandwidth it'll save the OP I have no idea but you were wrong to shoot it down straight away. The theory was sound and I was sure of that, I've now proven it to be possible in practice too. How useful this ends up being is another matter entirely.

Johnathanamz: If you want The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on gog.com, then purchase The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt from gog.com.
I hope very much that gog.com does not allow you to copy the Steam version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to gog.com.
Steam is gog.com's competitor.
You uh... missed this, I take it?: https://www.gog.com/witcher/backup I hope very much that gog.com does not allow you to copy the Steam version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to gog.com.
Steam is gog.com's competitor.
I expect Witcher 3 will eventually be added to the deal, as well. You know, because CDPR and GoG are pretty cool like that.

But with gog.com now having GoG Galaxy released to the public and competing with Steam. I hope gog.com does not do this with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt at all.

You did however completely miss the fact that the OP owns TW3 here already.
