Import Steam/Origin friends on GOG to allow cross-platform chatting/invite
Added by
wildki11er Im not too sure if its possible, but I believe that adding the ability to import your steam/origin friends to GOG Galaxy would allow GOG Galaxy to live up to its "Crossplay" feature, making sure that the people you play with who own their video game on steam, will also be able to be added to your friends list on GOG.
Gnuflogger It would be great if this was doable. Valve will probably not let it happen.

Vadatajs89 Since most of my library is on Steam and most of my friends, I want to switch FULL TIME over to galaxy because I truly believe it's the best launcher of all time, but I need to have access to my friends and chat or I have to have steam open all the time as well. I am working on getting all my friends switched to Galaxy but it's taking some time. I buy from GoG for all my new games (except Humble Bundle because those are all through Steam)

molitar I also want an update on this feature.. I need to dump the crap called Steam UI as the Library can not be rolled back anymore and the What's New spam interferes with finding games to play.
Pospesel Stated here by Evixios, will be implemented at a later date. Can anyone confirm?

Mentazm Requesting this.
5P3K73R I guess this is coming with GOG Galaxy 2.0.
Bigair80 i voted, would be nice to save some time having all my friends moved to this client. would help to overtake steam imo
flakofigz Friend sync would be perfect. I have about 300 friends on Steam and no way of knowing who uses GoG. Many of the popular launchers have Steam/Facebook/Google friend sync ability. Ubisoft, Epic, and Battle.net allow this, for example.
Chatting might not be the best implementation, or easy to achieve.
Friend sync would be MUCH more useful and is sorely missed on the GoG launcher, though.
viranimus This would be highly detrimental to GOG and all gamers as it only serves to encourage gamers to remain on toxic platforms that are wreaking havoc on the industry.
robot2642 Would be awesome if they could do this.
Slick_JMista this would honestly be huge.
jballou I doubt that chat could be supported, as Valve has nothing to gain by letting GOG snipe Steam users. But, I'd like to see Steam/GOG integration for things like finding friends, groups, and play time. I'm less worried about "exporting" to Steam as I am importing my Steam life to GOG Galaxy.
Gildo As much as I would love for this to happen, it probably won't. I'll still vote though. Pipe dreams do come true from time to time...
Barefoot_Monkey Also not sure if it's possible, but it would be welcome if it is. Voted.
erodozer There's the mobile chat api for Steam, which pidgin can make use of. I'm sure it could be implemented into Galaxy at some point. It'd be cool if Galaxy would have the ability to sort friends by community, and if you have someone in multiple communities you could group their accounts under one alias.
RPINerd I have to vote for the importing of steam friends.. but I really don't know if this would be possible/feasible/ or even permitted.
I have a sneaking suspicion that crossplay and crossplatform chatting will never come to be.. but I'm pretty much fine with accepting that.
gladosminion They should at least allowed a customised profile page for each users and then maybe put a 'section' to list your other 'platform' id etc so you can add each other and connected.
