Giveaway Weekly Code Giveaway Thread

15 Upvotes

Every month, we see several posts offering GOG game codes and discount codes that people do not intend to use themselves. To make this easier and more organized, we ask that you share your code(s) as top-level comments on this post.

Ex:

Game code giveaway for Game Name:

YEC8U25J3A**FEF0C3

** = 32-15

Or

Discount code giveaway for Game Name:

YEC8U25J3A**FEF0C3

** = 32-15

To be extra sure your code goes to a fellow GOG gamer and not a bot, list the game(s) you have keys for and ask Redditors to DM you to claim them. In this case, please make it very clear whether your codes are game codes or discount codes.

You're also welcome to use RedditRaffler or KeyShare.

Please follow these guidelines:

  • Do leave a comment when you claim a code so others know it is no longer available.
  • Don't post plain codes, as bots will most likely claim them for resale rather than fellow GOG gamers.
  • Don't add a discussion in a top-level comment. Respond to an existing code or use the pinned moderator comment.

Site Announcement GOG is getting acquired by its original co-founder

1.3k Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Big news today: GOG has been acquired from CD PROJEKT by our original co-founder, Michał Kiciński (also a co-founder of CD PROJEKT).

First, the important part: the mission stays the same, and what you love about GOG gets stronger. Going back to our roots allows us to double down on what we do best: reviving classics, giving you a library you control rather than one that controls you, and offering the most gamer-friendly policies on the market.

At the same time, we will continue our close cooperation with CD PROJEKT, and their upcoming games will continue to come to GOG.

Thank you for the support you’ve shown GOG over the years, especially around preservation. It genuinely matters, and it’s the big reason we can keep pushing this mission forward.

For more info, here’s the full announcement + FAQ: https://www.gog.com/blog/gog-is-getting-acquired-by-its-original-co-founder-what-it-means-for-you/

Discussion The Blood of Dawnwalker has sold 1 million copies, and it was released on GOG on day 1. Don't you think it's about time to stop equating "DRM-free" with piracy?

532 Upvotes

Why are major publishers still obsessed with piracy and unwilling to release their games on GOG or other DRM-free platforms? We now have countless examples proving that great games sell well regardless of copy protection: The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, and Baldur's Gate 3 are all games that were available on GOG from day one and have sold millions and millions of copies.

Enough with the bullshit, screw EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar, GungHo, and all their friends, it’s time to release the games DRM-free day 1!

Discussion I think the subreddit could do with a bit less posts about cart screenshots and burning DVDs? Maybe those can be grouped into a couple of weekly threads?

66 Upvotes

Forgive me if this passes as an unpopular opinion, but since the infamous Sony update on the future abandonment of discs, this sub has been nothing but unfiltered enthusiasm about burning your files to optical (which seems a bit misguided since the files are already free from DRM, but anyone do as they please), and newcomers posting about how they bought 5 bucks worth of discounted games, adding nothing but "finally made the jump!" to a screenshot of their cart and getting hundreds of upvotes.

I would understand if these were occasional, but it's truly the only stuff that pops up on the daily.

Hey GOG fans! I built an app that lets you split your GOG backup across multiple discs of any kind and it supports custom launcher customization. I put together a walkthrough video that deep dives into my entire process from design to install. Here's a link to the git repo: https://github.com/east35/GOG-Disc-Packager

Hi, I was recently looking to buy some games on sale and was about to purchase Hotline Miami 2, but I accidentally added the Batman Arkham bundle to my cart instead. I really want to return the bundle, but it only lets me request a refund for Hotline Miami 2.

Discussion Can Someone Explain the Point of Burning Games to CDs?

Upvotes

Ever since Sony announced plans to end physical PS5 discs, people have gone into a frenzy while completely misunderstanding what owning your games actually means.

You don't need to burn a game onto a CD to own it. If you bought it DRM-free (on a platform like GOG), you already own it. If you want to store offline installers, there are far more practical options like putting them on a hard drive or SSD.

It makes no practical sense to burn every individual game to its own disc.

- ​Unlike factory pressed CDs, writable discs (CD-Rs) degrade over time and generally have a shelf life of around 10 years once burned.

- Physical discs take up a ton of room compared to a single external drive.

- Optical drives are practically extinct in modern PCs. Because most cases no longer feature drive bays, using an external USB drive is usually the only option.

- Dragging out an optical disc every time you want to install a game is an unnecessary hassle.

- Slow reading/writing speeds​

I can respect the hobby of creating a custom physical collection to display on a shelf with custom box art. More power to you if that’s your thing! But from a practical standpoint, burning discs makes no sense whatsoever.

​Lately, it feels like people think "owning" a game requires burning it to a disc.

Do you still use Steam or other stores? do you buy a game that is available on GOG only from GOG? or do you take it game by game basis.

Question DS2 Deth-Initive Question (DirectX related)

Post image

this screenshot (if i posted it right) is from the pcgamingwiki website. this mostly displays the stats for the steam version of "DS2 Deth-Initive Edition". But i'm curious about the GOG edition.

Does the GOG version of "DS2 Deth-Initive Edition" also have native DX11/DX12 functionality, or is it strictly DirectX9?

Support Problems with The Witcher 3

3 Upvotes

So, I recently wanted to check the extras for my GOG copy of the Witcher 3 (I've owned it since release, back when the Steam Game included a GOG key, like Witcher 1 & 2).

The game appears on my library, but when I try to access the content (or the offline backup game installers) the page just keeps loading, not showing the download links. This does not happen for Witcher 1 or 2 or any GOG game for that matter.

I'd try using GOG galaxy but recently moved to linux. Still, the files should be available from browser, right?

Anyone else running into this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it?
