Journey's on Steam? That's the one game I've kept my PS3 around for.

Yeah, just released after a period of exclusivity on Epic.

Deceit on Steam

I think I asked before, but how do you add these to your library from a PC that doesn't have Steam installed?

It only has a "Play Game" button

Click on "Yes" Steam is installed.
Then click on cancel on the pop up box!
Refresh the page, you should see the green "In your library" banner

hmm no pop up box appeared as the "steam://" protocol isn't registered on the system.

Just nothing happens when I click the box.

Clicking the banner auto scrolls to it.

Do you have Steam installed?
If so, you can do the same thing on the Steam client.
If not, I don't know how to help, sorry

Nah that's the reason I was asking... work machine.

I guess I'll do it when I get back onto the gaming machine... pain in the gnads though, why some games have an "Add To Account" button and others don't

That game is free to play, so there's no licence to add to your account. As opposed to something which has a cost of 0.

It's kinda free...

You get a free GOG copy of Witcher 3, if you have it already on another platform (except Switch).

I was excited when I saw this because I have it on the switch but then I read this

I own The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Nintendo Switch, will I receive a GOG.COM copy as well?

Since there is no Nintendo Switch integration, owners of the Switch edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition won't be eligible to benefit from this action.

Anyone manage to do this with the PS4?

I'm still not clear on this... how do you "connect your account" ?

Do you start the game on the PS4 and create a CD PROJECKT RED account?

Install GOG Galaxy. Go to add games & friends then try to connect a Playstation Network account.

I know its in Beta but GOG Galaxy crashes quite a lot, not just when I tried to connect. It makes an absolutely atrocious first impression.

Sign in is via a separate Playstation OAuth page right? Would rather not enter my password on their app client.

I've used all their account link options except the PSN one, and they all used the other partys own oauth page.

For anyone having issues with this for the PSN connection, the current workaround from the gog site is as follows:

- close GOG Galaxy if it's running at the moment

- log in to the Playstation Store (store.playstation.com) through your browser
(if you were already logged in, log out first, then back in)

- after the login open this link: https://ca.account.sony.com/api/v1/ssocookie

youll get something like: {"npsso":"xxx"}
where xxx is the npsso value

(example of what it should look like: https://abload.de/img/npssomcj9f.png )

- open windows explorer and enter the following into the address bar at the top and press enter
%LocalAppData%\GOG.com\Galaxy\plugins\installed\

- open the psn_{random number} folder and edit the plugin.py file with your favourite text editor

- go to line 64. it sould look like this:
stored_npsso = stored_credentials.get("npsso") if stored_credentials else None

delete everything on that line after: stored_npsso =
then add your npsso value behind it in quotation marks.

it should look like this:
stored_npsso = "npsso value"

("npsso value" is the value from step 3 and should be a 64 character long text consisting of numbers, lower case letters and upper case letters)
(the quotation marks " " are important!)

(example of what it should look like: https://abload.de/img/plugingrjah.png )

- save the changes made to plugin.py and close the file
- restart GOG Galaxy
- try connecting with PSN again

This worked for me

Thanks as always for the tip Spear!

Microsoft's ecosystem is a confusing place I've never been before.

The Sim games listed seem to be free all the time, but if you click on the "Show more" link, there are literally hundreds of other free games there.

In contrast, that last space game you listed is apparently usually $80(!!!!).
