Breja: We can log in with Cambridge Anal... I mean with Facebook now? Was that always an option and I just didn't notice? Will there be a new GOG Connect feature for Facebook? Will Galaxy feed our data directly to Skynet?
We just realeased version 1.2.40 of GOG Galaxy :)

Starkrun: Facebook as a universal account login system works, if your account is active and valid. If you close or get banned from facebook your account here stops working, and without the ability to verify you cant even move it to another account.
That's actually not true - you can always reset password using your e-mail. You can also set a password and unlink your Facebook account (by cancelling GOG app access on Facebook).

durandl: (...) snooping around in your account when you are not logged in (...) And then they have valuable information about you, like what kind of games you like to buy here or even what you say to the community here. And that's one scary thought. And that's just what happened with Cambridge and FB.
This was a known fact for Facebook and Google without them "snooping" in your account (that would be breaking the law). Facebook and Google are collecting lots of data about you, your friends, and people "similar" to you. Based on that, they're proposing accurate (converting to money for them) adverts. You can disable adverts proposing based on your data on those services. I don't know if that makes them stop collecting the data. :)

They can collect data about you even without you being logged in to your Google or FB account, based on your browser cookies (for pages that use Analytics or FB/Google plugins), where you are (they could be collecting wifi IDs, IPs), which machine are you using (browser fingerprint), not to mention data from your Android smartphone, what you search for, what YouTube trailers you're watching, which pages you're viewing, what you search for on those pages. Letting GOG read your logged in profile data when you log in through it is really not a big factor in terms of data for them. :)
