I have only a few questions after buying a couple games here and reading the user agreement.

1. Am I permitted to run multiple instances of a game from different machines? (eg. LAN multiplayer across two machines owned by myself)

2. What can I expect from Steam Connect? Most publishers dislike the idea of giving out a copy where they might be able to sell one so is it for new releases only, or are the offers random or...?

3. Does all multiplayer require GOG Galaxy and, if something were to happen to GOG/CD Projekt, would I lose access to multiplayer forever?


Thank you, those who try to answer these, for your assistance. I am sorry if this is too dry or anything so here's a picture of my dog.

1)There should be no problems running multiple copies of the same game on different machines unless the game originally used license keys for multiplayer mode.

2)The Steam Connect game selection is set by GOG, and seems to be updated every 6 months or so. Connect will only work if you already own the listed games on Steam.

3)Not all multiplayer games on GOG require GOG Galaxy. Older dos-based games that use IPX connectivity can be tricked into working correctly with DOSBox's built-in IPX server emulation mode.

Don't expect anything from GOG Connect, and maybe you'll be surprised.
