I think you pointed out well why they didn't mention Steam.

Probably their wording wasn't too inspired, but now they change it to: "LIMBO now available on GOG Connect - claim your copy" so I think everything is fine now.

It's not a gift - it's a marketing strategy, mainly trying to lure people who have Steam games over to GOG. Once people have made an account they are more likely to also continue to buy here, in stead of just Steam. The cost for that, and the people that use this and are already GOG users, is written off.

You are not sure how to fix this? I honestly cannot believe it. Just be more specific.

Instead of: Limbo now available on GOG Connect for free
say: Limbo can now be registered with GOG Connect for free
or: Limbo now available on GOG Connect

Well it already stated exactly how it was, it didn't need to be fixed in the sense when there wasn't anything wrong with how they stated it. If people don't bother reading stuff through or if it's too much for some to click the banner to further clarify the issue at hand, then in my opinion it's on the reader. They did clarify it now but it doesn't mean it is 'fixed' as it states the exact same thing now as it did before. If it had a straight up lie on the banner, then I would agree that it needed fixing, but being unfamiliar with something doesn't mean it means something else than it actually does.

If some people does see an issue with this, it doesn't mean that I think them being wrong, just that in my opinion the issue has been made out to be a lot worse than it actually is. It's perfectly fine to disagree with me, but personally I don't see an issue.

Don't get me wrong, I already stated that it could have been clearer, but there wasn't anything really wrong about it other than people needing to pay a bit more attention. I don't mean to come out as offencive so my apologies if this comes out that way, I just can't see how else I could put my thoughts any clearer than I already have. Also I don't mean to cause any drama in here, so we'll just agree to disagree and continue with our forum lives.

I know, they haven't said something completely wrong, but they were on the verge. It was clickbait and could have been misunderstood. I just generally don't like such behavior and the solution is always to be more specific. It would have been simple for them to be more specific and avoid the confusion.

About it being clearer I do agree with you. At least they changed it so it should be a bit clearer at the moment, especially to people that don't know about GOG Connect.
Thank you for keeping the conversation civil, I highly appreciate it.

If people actually read what it said there would be no need for this whining. Its really sad this is even a topic still.

Indeed. It sounds pretty clear to me, now. It's been changed.

It was: "Get LIMBO for free with GOG Connect - Claim your copy now"

Now, it's: "LIMBO now available on GOG Connect - claim your copy."

Much more clear. I don't see the word 'free' anywhere.

It saddens me that the world is changing in a myriad of subtle ways in order to accommodate people whose reading comprehension never advanced past the 3rd grade level. This is just one such example. Not a big deal or anything. Just kind of ... disheartening.

The word free should of never been in there since in theory you really aren't getting anything for 'free'. You must own the game somewhere else (whether paid for it or otherwise), all GoG is doing is providing a GoG copy to something you already had before. The bigger criticism is how they don't fully market Connect on their site in the same way they do Galaxy which then leads to questions like what we have seen.
