No biggie.

I actually counted 25 games in my GOG account. I don't know how the hell I undercounted my stash by 50%.  :-[

Looks like they 'unbundled' some of the titles, separating things like MMO 1 from MOO 2 and 3, even if bought together. That brings my GOG stash to 85 titles, of which I have yet to play most.

I guess calling game hoarding 'the Steam Sickness' isn't really fair to Steam anymore...  :-\

True, my GOG stash says 138 titles. I'm hoarding.

Well, I ended up getting a free download copy of Witcher 3 with my (soon to arrive) GTX 970, so I'll be trying out Galaxy when it comes time to download that monstrosity from GOG.

How come when I purchase a brand new GPU all I get is some crappy benchmark software and sometimes some racist/racing/whatever game...
And yet nearly anyone else who purchases even an older GPU these days gets a free copy of Witcher 3???  :'(

i almost bought the Nvidia GTX970 that came with this deal, but I ended up getting the EVGA one which was about $60 cheaper, so I figured it balanced out.

I received an email from GOG yesterday asking me to join, so I clicked to sign up. It told me they were approving requests in 'batches' and it might be some time before I get instructions to download.

This morning I received another email with said instructions to download. Installed and looks like everything in my (small) library is there. I'd already installed most of them in a separate folder because you have to, of course, download directly from their site to do so first, but this is like Steam apparently where you can install through Galaxy. So I guess I need to uninstall and delete that folder first. I'll get to it sooner or later.

I got a code for a free copy of a recent Batman/Arkham game when I bought my latest GPU. 

But when I entered my code, it didn't give me shit.  So I had to pester Nvidia customer service to get it fixed, which they eventually did after I had to scan a pic of my code voucher and email it to them. 

I then ended up playing for the game for about five minutes and giving up due to console port sickness.  :-\

Just a heads up:

Look out for PUPs claiming to be GOG Galaxy Client

QuoteIn less than 30 hours after Good Old Games (GOG) announced that its fully optional client, GOG Galaxy, has entered the open beta stage, we have already seen some posts online of download locations for the client outside the GOG.com domain.

We can only ask you, dear Gamer, to exercise caution when visiting and downloading from such sites as they might be serving a file you don't want installed on your system.

Haven't had issues with mine thank goodness...went directly through their site to grab Galaxy. Even bought a couple of games through it. I like the GUI for Galaxy better than Steam's.
