Linking to GOG.com account?

[RickYourAstley]

There's a nice sale on SupCom: Gold on GOG right now; is there any plans of linking to a GOG account instead of a Steam one?

[ZLO_RD]

Right now the answer is NO.
I have been told that you can't activate that game copy on steam.
And so far there is no possibility to make a gog-link.

Hi all,
I haven't play on FAF for some time now, and "back in the days" I was able to link an installation folder in order to play. I've convinced a couple a friend to buy the game on GoG and I was quite surprise to see that it was not compatible any more. Is there a workaround ? Can I install an older version of FAF maybe ?
Thanks !

There is no workaround.
We are in contact with GOG, but there is no ETA on a solution (if there even will be one).

[Nizar89]

Oh ok, too bad .
Thanks for the quick answer anyway !

This is just horrible! How did we not account for this?

Linus from Linus tech tips (1M followers on twitter and 11.1M subscribers on youtube!!!!) just tweeted a insanely positive tweet about FAF : https://twitter.com/LinusTech/status/12 ... ode%3Dtrue

while linking the new GOG article about Chris Taylor's legacy : https://www.gog.com/news/the_story_of_s ... tegy_games

upwards of 600 people have liked the tweet and a ton of new people (on GOG and outside of GOG that are coming to GOG to purchase it) are getting all hyped about Supreme Commander and Forged Alliance and discovering it for the first time but won't be able to experience SupCom/FA as it's intended : with the FAF updates, bugfixes and 13 years of diverse improvements.

This is a tragedy we need to make our top priority.

I'm a steam fanboy but FAF is supposed to be agnostic to these things.

@tatsu,

thats exactly what I´m thinking about.
I installed the game a few hours ago after not playing it for several months. I talked over a friend of mine buying it on GOG after I saw the sale (I got Total Annihilation there for free).
He now bought the game and after installing FAF again I realised that something has been changed...

Off course its not expensive on steam. There is a sale, too. It´s about 7€.

But it is annoying.

So please make this a top priority.

Thanks a lot for all of your work.

The issue is out of our hands, there is nothing for us to make a priority.

GOG desires Square Enix to give official permission for FAF. If that happens, they can openly treat us as a multiplayer service and it also means steamlink is no longer needed as Square Enix will not fault us over IP distribution concerns. If it does not go through, then it comes down to GOG offering us a method to do a “GOGlink” similar to how we do a steamlink. This does not currently exist, and so it would require GOG to work out a way for us to implement it. But regardless, we cannot move forward in anything without the work of another party.

Though we are keeping in contact with GOG to resolve the issues as smoothly as possible.

Thanks for the info. Good luck
