Pay with one click, avoid additional bank fees, and track your gaming budget!



Today, we're rolling out the GOG Wallet, a highly-requested quality-of-life feature aimed at gamers who frequently face international bank fees, use pre-paid debit cards, or prefer the extra convenience and control over their budget.

The GOG Wallet is designed to be user-friendly and flexible: top-up your Wallet with any amount between 5 USD and 500 USD (or the local equivalent) using any payment method; if you're using a pre-paid card, or you're just a bit short on Wallet funds, you can easily combine GOG Wallet funds with other payment methods during checkout. It's easy, fast, and totally safe.

Additionally, any store credit earned with the Fair Price Package (if a product costs more in your country than in the US, we always make up the difference) will now be automatically added to your GOG Wallet funds. Nobody likes to take time out of their gaming to do math, so we're doing it for you!



To kickstart your GOG Wallet and learn about the details, make your way to <span class="bold">www.gog.com/wallet</span>.

YES!!

FINALLY!

Now, add PAYU payment service, so I can pay my wallet with argentinian pesos cash through Rapipago or Pagofacil.

almabrds: To be fair, the two-step login is quite good.
I rarely need to insert the random generated code (when I need to clean stuff in Firefox, for example).
Sure, a few times it annoyed me, but if it helps to keep my virtual shelf secure, I'm definitely in.
If you get the email code all the time, you're doing something wrong imo, or it's bugged. I wouldn't doubt it.
No, it's completely bad and unusable for people who clear their browser cache after each session. You'll have to enter the mail code every single time you want to log in and that's extremely annoying.

And let's not talk about the fact that the system doesn't prevent hacking, because it only informs you after your mail or password was changed. And at that point the damage is already done and there's nothing you can do about it (except contacting support to get your account back).

Painted_Doll: And when will Gog fix older games to run under 64-bit Windows 10 without any error ?
That sounds impossible given the infinite combination of hardware/software possibilities out there.

nightcraw1er.488: Lovely language by the way, is a great way to put a point - not that I can see one
He does bring some interesting points, like why people hack gOg accounts.
What motivates them?
How much of a difference it will do now that we have gOg Wallet? Maybe it will be insignificant.

Of course it is easier to ignore these questions and pretend to be always right.

Yes.

That's pretty cool. Thanks GOG! I already have a problem with it, though. :P

I knew I shouldn't have done that, but I clicked on the "Buy €10.00" button to see what the procedure was. It brought me to an order page but I don't see a way to remove the "product" (like we can for games), so I'm now left with a pending order. Will it go away after some time? Or have I missed a way to cancel it somehow?

Nice feature. I'm guess trading cards come in about 4-6 months?

Seriously, I do think the next feature should maybe be a central community section where people can post screenshots/guides/reviews/etc.

nightcraw1er.488: You must refer to your line 1 of your post. Lovely language by the way, is a great way to put a point - not that I can see one in that mass of offensive text.

At least when I don't agree with BKGaming we can have a sensible conversation without bandying swear words about, so you will forgive me if I ignore you.

They do that because there's a market for second hand accounts. "HEY GUYS IMMA SELL THIS GOG ACCOUNT WHICH IS TOTALLY MINE, ITS GOT WITCHUR 3 AND LIKE 500$ WORTH OF GAMES BUT IMMA SELL IT FOR ONLY 100$ KK?"
Apparently there are people who fall for this stuff. Has everyone forgotten about all the accounts hacked around the time TW3 was released?

That said, I'm not sure if this GOG wallet will have any significant impact on it. I can't think of any reason why it should. Regardless, it would be nice of GOG to rethink their autentication system... again.

I assume this is the gate opening for micro-transactions and mini-DLC.

Every day GOG becomes more like Steam is a day I am closer to just giving up my DRM-free dreams and just surrendering and going to Steam. If all GOG wants to do is become Steam, why settle for a pale imitation when you can just go get the real deal?

Oooh nice. Will there be wallet codes, like what steam has? I prefer using those than using my card.

I can't speak for everyone.
From my experience, it's a perfectly fine option, and I'm glad they created it.
I don't clean browser cache 24/7, so I don't get aggravated.
I'm sorry you find it useless, but keep in mind it's useful to other people. Send suggestions to the blues, maybe they will change it. It can't hurt, so might as well try it.

And what does? No offense Alf, but if you have a solution in mind, please share with us.
And you're wrong. If someone else try to login in my account, he/she will need to insert a random code.
If I receive an email with code suddenly, it will be a clear sign something is going on.

Hmm, weird. It doesn't stay in my cart when I close the window or press back, no matter how many Wallet funds I add.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that GoG listens (or tries to) to what the industry and consumers are saying. What they are saying are that a good number of buyers (probably majority) of people use Steam because of the multitude of features it has. One of the criticisms of GoG from your average buyer is even if a title is sold both here and on Steam, GoG doesn't have the feature integration like Steam has so most buyers will buy the title on Steam. So GoG is trying to emulate Steam as much as possible without becoming DRM. Will it work? We'll see, GoG may believe there is a ceiling for buyers that only want DRM-free so it needs to branch out to other types of consumers to attract them to the site.
