GOG is missing critical convenience features. Like the ability to buy and gift games. Or even just buy a gift card for their games. This would be a yearly buy for my nieces and nephews but there’s no availability. I keep asking. It keeps not being there.
That's not correct.
I have totally gifted Games via GOG in the past.
E.g. my nephew got KSP from me last birthday.
On the Game page it prominently shows a "buy as present" button.
Recipient doesn't even need his own GOG account.
Perhaps some regional block?
Where are you from?
Is this a new feature? USA.
My account is Brazilian and for the near 10 years I've had it, their purchase options always seemed to be on pair. And Brazil isn't known to get stuff first in general for technology.
No, has been around for ages for me. Germany.
Looks like this for Games in my library, for other Games there is a checkbox for gifting later in the order process.
"Like the ability to buy and gift games" uh wut? >.>
Now maybe theres a misunderstanding in English but i can gif Games to my Wife and she aslo to me and we never had Issues really even tho were from different Continents :P
But i do agree with the Gift Card Abbility considering that even Steam has such -.-
@Zephorah You can buy and gift games in Gog... Just buy it and then gift it.. 🤔
@RetroHax
I just looked back into it. Still no capacity to give gift cards/credit, but it looks like they introduced game gifting in 2023, which is great. I’d given up. To be fair, I’ve been using GOG since 2012 or so.
Rumor on the community forum of gifts cards coming soon, which will solve it. Kids don’t want you picking their games out for them.
@Zephorah @RetroHax You just have to buy games and give it to them, what's the problem ?
A gift card would let them pick their own games. I’m not sure why a gift card is so difficult here.
