That's pretty dang awesome!
Can't wait to see if they get all of my games on there.
Well if you were me, then I would be you! And I'd totally have dinner with me, so there!

This is super cool! I finally got motivated to make a GOG.com account, and I hope that eventually Trails in the Sky FC ( 'cuz I still haven't bought SC, and I haven't finished FC yet.) gets added to this. I've always mildly regretted buying Trails in the Sky on Steam and not GOG because of all the neat extras that come with the GOG release.

Unfortunate that so few are on the list right now, but I'm probably going to switch to only purchasing games on GOG at this point on. I'm not very happy with the idea of Steam's DRM keeping my games unusable eventually, and I believe GOG provides previous patches for games too for all your mod/bug related problems.

FYI, the batch of games currently listed in the OP expires in about 20 hours. So if you already have any of them on Steam, and want free GOG copies, you need to link your account and redeem them before approximately 9AM EDT tomorrow.

Besides that, they've added:
Door Kickers
Defender's Quest
Kona

Like the first batch, these will be available for 5 days before expiring.
