Two thumbs up!

VR Soccer for king.

Hmm. Just make sure your password is strong enough. I guess that is the only easy way to secure your account.

But.. 212 games ? you must have blown your wallet..

Being concerned about security is very different from being paranoid. Also, game accounts (on various services) _do_ get hacked all the time, sometimes for reasons that would also apply to a GOG account. Two examples:

- An account with 200+ legit games could be sold or auctioned off. The buyer might not even know that the games can be gotten through different means, or he may want to have legit copies instead of pirated ones. For the hacker, it doesn't matter whether or not there are alternative ways to get these games, to him it just matters whether he can find a buyer (which he would, given that the amount of games and the fact that he can go as low with the price as he wants to since he hasn't spent any money).

- Hackers may see their activity as a sport, and/or just get a thrill from wreaking havoc.

However, it's true that GOG accounts are a much less likely target than accounts on Steam or Origin. Also, GOG is unique: even if someone hacks your account, you don't lose access to the games that you already downloaded and hopefully backed up. There also isn't any "credit" on your account, nor does it provide access to your payment data. Finally, hackers can't remove games from your account, and the account could be given back to you if you prove that you are the legitimate owner (which shouldn't be difficult). Therefore, you can almost nullify the potential damage that hackers can wreak, by making backups of your purchased games, and keeping some bills.

Nevertheless, if you've spent so much money and time on your account, I'd recommend to take the usual precautions - use a unique, strong password, don't access the site from public or shady places, and change your password from time to time. 99% of gaming-related accounts are not hacked because someone broke into the site itself (because those are usually well-protected), but because the account owner used the same login and password on a different site which much lower security - which got hacked, and the hackers then try to find other sites where they can apply the same login credentials.

So, I've decided to download all the games and keep the installers in the harddrive as some of you recommended. I think is the best way to keep my invesment safe.

In my defense I have to say that 99% of the games were bought on sale, but anyway, maybe I have a problem or maybe it's that I just love old games anyway, and I really enjoy collecting them, even in virtual form.

So, I'll start downloading, if I'm lucky I'll finish in a couple of weeks! LOL

Isn't that obvious? Theft prevention. No one wants it, so everyone gets it so that no one would want to take their account.

Security is fine.Nobody is going to duplicate your account.

^This

That would be stupid.

Everything's fine as long as your email account is not compromised.

Wouldn't it?

No point really. All they can do is download your DRM free games, which they can already do via various torrent sites anyway without the hassle of hacking you first. And from those sites they can get all gog games, via you they can only get the ones you bought. There is no point in hacking your account.

If you get hacked and lose your password, then just reset it via email notification. If you do not manage to do so, contact support and have them reset it.

Yeah, you've got little to worry about. Since GOG is DRM-free, the account is simply used to store games, and little in the way of financial information. No point hacking. If they were smart, as some users have pointed out, they will leave the password the same, and log in every now and then to leech free games that you've bought.

Compared to Steam, you've got to worry about hacking there, since Steam has DRM, where you need full access to the client to play a good half of the games they sell.
