I'm just spitballin here, but does anyone know when or if even GOG Connect would include imports from other services like epic, origin, etc.. just because I am so tired of DRM Prisons, I miss the days where my friend and I would go buy a game and that's all you didn't have internet or DRM to worry about

Most likely never, GOG has commented on other threads that Connect is no longer developed.
Dang it so I'm even to late for the connect to even work. I wish I knew about gog sonner, thank you, pixel
Here's the post from a staff member last year:

This seems the longest break since the last GOG Connect query.

Anyway, never say never where GOG are concerned. It is telling, that the GOG Connect link and page still exist. Clearly they are keeping future options available, and at a somewhat superficial appraisal of the last few months, it would appear that things are looking up for GOG, so GOG Connect may indeed become active again eventually.

GOG Connect was a fundamentally flawed marketing idea that only served to prove that buying on Steam would give you everything, even cross platform availability, and buying on GOG wouldn't, so why would you?

I'm glad they didn't develop that idea any further.
Connect was a waste of time and money. People just wanted free stuff and didn't spend anything here.

Unfortunately GOG connect was only ever for limited periods for specific games whose developers had agreed to be part of it. There was never an option to import your entire steam library.
Honestly with the news this week and with their larger number of DRM Free games already, I would think that an Epic Games Store Connect might be more likely in the near future.
Thank you all, for you replies and help :)

Yes, this would be interesting.
But the first wave more likely to be DRMed games.

It just seems there is fairly significant overlap with the drm free games on Epic and games offered here on Gog already. I'm not sure if that would be based more on publisher approval or on Epic and CDPR to work something out.
No Connect for me, please. I don't want to link my GOG account to any others. Epic only has one DRM-free game that I would rather have here, anyway. A little surprised GOG hasn't picked up the remaster of Ghostbusters.

Well, technically speaking you would link your Steam account information to GOG, not the other way round.
Steam wouldn't get any information about your GOG account.

I think GOG Connect was great.
I was able to get several games to my GOG account that way.

It was especially useful in getting continued access to some bundled games where the original site no longer exists.
I got many games through the route: Indie Royale -> Steam -> GOG.

GOG Connect was the only "integration thing" on GOG that I found useful.
GOG Galaxy and other stuff I have never even attempted to use.
