New GOG.com policy now allows users extended refund rights to their games, check out this new FAQ with all the details. Some excerpts: It looks as if this process is not fully automated and requires individual contact with GOG.com customer support. Interestingly there is no specified 'time limit' to how long a game can be played for before it can be refunded (unlike Steam which has an automated 2 hour gameplay limit before the refund requires support to intervene). Hopefully people won't abuse the generosity of GOG.com's policies.

The closed beta for GOG Galaxy 2.0 has finally begun. With it comes the much-touted integration functionality, allowing users to launch games without having to go through separate launchers. The current list of launchers available to integrate are Xbox Live, Battle.net, the Epic Games Store, Origin, Playstation Network, Steam, and Uplay. However, the only "official" integration is with Xbox Live. The addition of more Official Integrations should be coming sooner than later, with Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney expressing interest in integration earlier this month, also confirming that Epic Games was currently in talks with GOG regarding launcher integration. Integrating accounts is a painless process. Opening Galaxy 2.0's settings menu will immediately bring you to the integrations tab. The features available to each of the launcher integrations varies. GOG separates the feature list between Games (Library, Installing & Launching, Achievements, and Game Time), and Friends (Friends List, Chat, and Friend recommendations). One of the most popular launchers on PC, Steam, has a majority of these features active. Curiously, while Xbox Live is considered to be an "Official Integration", there are still restrictions in place similar to the "Community Integrations". Did you get in to the Galaxy 2.0 beta? What are your thoughts on the account integration system? For those interested, you can sign up for the closed beta at the GOG Galaxy website. Here are screenshots of the new interface: Here are screenshots of the other integrations:

Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, has surprised us all by confirming that talks are ongoing with GOG.com to integrate Epic Games Store with GOG and their service, GOG Galaxy 2.0. This is surprising considering that Epic Games Store strategy has been one of exclusivity - although we note that this pertains mostly to Steam rather than Microsoft or other online distribution platforms. See the tweet here: We await news on what happens next - will Epic Games Store games get any rich integrations with GOG Galaxy 2.0?

In this article in German from gamestar.de, CD Projekt head Piotr Karwoski was quoted saying: PC Gamer has also come forward to state that GOG Galaxy 2.0 is officially partnered with Microsoft: The battle for the ultimate PC games platform continues. Check out our (admittedly flawed) platform features overview wiki page for a comparison of Steam, GOG.com, Microsoft Store, Epic Games Store and others.
