There’s no word yet on whether you’ll need to log in every five days to take advantage or whether it’ll automatically add the appropriate licenses to your account.
It looks like the current crop expires in five days, after which we’ll presumably get a new batch of twenty. GOG designed this system as a revolving door of licenses (for whatever reason). Deep Silver’s oh-so-generously offering to give you a duplicate license for the busted Saints Row 2 port, but hasn’t added Saints Row 3 or 4 yet.
Even then, it’s select titles from each catalog-i.e. Why buy the games more than once indeed? Though it’s currently more like “Why buy these twenty oddly specific games more than once?” Right now the pool of participating publishers is fairly small, with Deep Silver and Harebrained Schemes probably the two stand-outs. It’s our take on game ownership and we say: why buy the games more than once?” The GOG Connect is available right now but it's undergoing some growing pains, so you may want to give it a few days before attempting to import your Steam library.“Whether you’re checking us out for the first time or looking to copy over your previous purchases, GOG Connect gives you DRM-free versions of your games, along with digital extras and the freedom to choose between standalone installers or the optional GOG Galaxy Client. In this way, it ensures that people cannot buy a game from Steam, connect it to GOG so it's added to their library, and then get a refund through Steam while keeping a copy on GOG. PC Gamer notes that GOG has it setup where it will check your Steam library and if a game has been refunded, then it will be be removed from your GOG catalog as well, unless you purchased it directly from GOG. Of course, there is a security measure in place for some people who would attempt to abuse the system. Those kind of measures have helped a lot of games get crowd-funded through Kickstarter and IndieGoGo. In fact, some of the Kickstarter bonuses is being able to pledge to the project while being entitled to a DRM-free copy of the game. Nevertheless, a lot of companies that have either been revitalized or got their start through crowd-funding on Kickstarter have put their games on GOG with DRM-free options. Of course, GOG's lack of DRM has made some developers and publishers wary of allowing their games on the service, hence its smaller catalog of titles that are made available.
