But it will not import /all/ of your Steam games (or at least those games that correlate to GOG's library), only those that they allow at certain times. The Star Wars games were never on this list :-( Adding a non-Steam game to Steam really isn't a panacea either, since it requires that game to be installed for it to work. I've got thousands of games and 99.9% of them are not installed (and I've no intention of doing so until I want to play them). Plus, it would still require me to fiddle about with optical media, a task I find so annoying that avoiding it is the main reason I buy games on GOG and Steam these days ;-) No, I'll either have to wait for GOG to add the Star Wars games to its GOGConnect service or bite the bullet and buy those silly games... again. Oh, that life can be so tragic and full of woe! ;-)
