Hey, I'm not the only one who is annoyed by these threads and shares their opinion of that. That's what we do here, share our opinions etc. of things whether they're things we like, dislike or are neutral about. It's probably unhealthy to some degree to do so perhaps, but occasionally a given topic pushes a button and fires up more of an emotive response. Not terribly often, but this is one of those ones that seem to trigger. Again, nothing personal - even if I haven't chosen the best words to express myself.

Thanks.

One last comment before i go which is in keeping with my comments about communication. If GOG simply communicated about the program, why nothing is happening for some time, etc. there probably would not be tons of posts wondering what is going on.

You want GOG to post a daily message "Still no new games on Connect"?

They've already communicated about the program. You've already seen it.

That's something I'd have to agree with. Often a lot of the confusion that happens around such things is the result of lack of communication, misleading communication (not uncommon in marketingspeak), or poorly timed communication.

When I read about Connect, IMHO I "got it" so to speak right away, connected my account, checked the page and got errors a bunch of times, didn't worry about it right away. I checked the next day again and later on it got sorted out, told me I had no eligible games. I read the FAQ and all of their info and felt that I fully understood the purpose of the feature (and still believe I do), and was happy to see this new feature available even if I wasn't able to benefit from it immediately and even though there were problems connecting. I saw it as a tool that'll be used in the future if and when developers want to offer such a service to their customers that bought games on Steam, and I figured if/when that happens GOG would post a news article or similar to let us know of the nice promotional gesture. I thought that it was cool that they decided to develop this technologically to be superior than the RECLAIM GAMES link which was a bit quirky to figure out, as Connect is potentially a lot more user friendly than that, or than hunting down a receipt and making a copy of it to send to the developer the old fashioned way.

It just surprises me how widely different other people see it though. People have gotten very different ideas about what it is and what it does. I saw one person thinking somehow their GOG and Steam accounts will now be merged (whatever that could mean), or that they will now be able to talk to their friends on Steam through GOG like chatting is now a merged feature that is compatible between the platforms (it isn't and most likely can and will never be IMHO), or all kinds of other - what I'd like to call "fantasy" ideas for lack of a better way to state it, none of which were ever mentioned in anything GOG actually said. :)

Sometimes it seems like people read a headline and maybe a sentence or two and let their imagination take over from there. If that was all though it would just be humorous. But people get all uptight over it and emotionally charged, ranting and raving over what almost always is a misunderstanding on their part. Then folks like me that believe we do understand it all fairly well can get emotionally overcharged also and well... there you have it. ;oP

I've gotten the impression they always send emails whenever they have something new. I'm failing to recall for certain whether that also happened with each addition to Connect while it was active. Seems like I got an email when more games were added to the list. Anybody recall receiving an email about the last few games they added to Connect in the final days of the promotion?

I'm thinking they will send an email when it's active again. Checking email daily ought to suffice if visiting the website daily isn't a routine.

This is the only mail I could find.
