CymTyr: There was a period where those free games were included with all new purchases, so it could be from that.
Not even first purchases; they got added at account creation. (I got that same set when I signed up.) The exact set of freebies one got at sign-up changed over the years, though, and they stopped doing this entirely a year or two ago. Nowadays, new accounts get a limited-time welcome discount on a selection of games, but nothing (AFAIK) is automatically added to the library.

Hmm. I guess I never realized that, since when my account was created, there were no free games. Thanks for explaining :)

Mr_Classica: So, not that I'm particularly unhappy, just mildly concerned, but what's the deal? Were these free games or something? That was my first thought, but it seems odd that they would automatically be added to my account without approval, free or not. My worst fear is that someone got ahold of my account, but even that doesn't seem likely to me.

Help would be much appreciated!
Check your transaction history if you're still worried. Free games also get added to the list, even if no funds were exchanged, so you'll be able to see when and how you got them/

You busted me :) I don't have a lot to be proud of, but my account age on GOG is a minor thing. ;) Have a great day, HB.
