Do I need a user account?
A lot of nice functionality is available to registered users as well as guests. Without an account you can rate games, add comments and even post on the forums. So what's the point of creating a user account? First and foremost to purchase and download games: because your purchased games are linked with your account, you can re-download them whenever and wherever you need. You'll also have more privileges on the forums (creating topics, rating posts), access to our after-sales support, the option to post your reviews on the website and much, much more (and one more ”much” for the things that are yet to come:).
How do I create a user account?
Just click ”Account login” in the menu bar, then click ”Sign up for GOG.com”, enter all the necessary information (double-check if necessary!) and click ”Create my Account”. Account creation is a very simple, one step process - we're sure you will do fine .
Am I logged in or not? And how can I logout?
When you're logged in, you will see a miniature of your avatar in the menu, next to the ”My account” option. When you're NOT logged in, you will see the ”Account login” option in the menu instead. To log out, click ”My account” in the menu and then select ”logout”.
