(Simple howto here for those using GoG Galaxy to track game ownership)

So exciting! Open Galaxy, click the gear, Settings, Integrations, notice
the few official ones, log in to those, and use the Github search box to add others. Here's how I updated a few that weren't working for me today:

Yes; but again, the value of Galaxy is that it checks ownership
across several gaming platforms, you just have to add them in Settings

I still need to figure out how to do that. I've got so many games
between GOG, EPIC, Steam, Amazon, and all the specific publisher ones.

It's in Settings. However, Galaxy uses "integration plugins" to connect
to the different services, which often are not included in the base Galaxy install, or have to be updated if your connect attempt fails.
Here's an example I just did today: To add/update the EA plugin, google search for "GitHub repository for the EA integration plugin", leading to https://github.com/BellezaEmporium/galaxy-integration-ead
Check the readme there for directions, download the windows.zip, run the install.bat, and boom now you can connect and login to EA and it will know your library there.

My Ubisoft connection also didn't work, so do the same search, leading to here: https://github.com/DragonicDefson/GOGUbisoft
Check the readme again, which is a bit more complicated but straightforward, download the Zip package from the Code dropdown button, and follow the directions (after first exiting Galaxy!), then start up Galaxy and connect

And again, Playstation integration wasn't working, so do the search for "GitHub repository for the playstation integration plugin" leading to https://github.com/BellezaEmporium/galaxy-integration-psn
download the Zip from the Code dropdown, exit Galaxy first, open the zip
while reading the readme closely (it is yet more complicated, but took just
a few minutes and worked the first time for me), and restart galaxy and connect.
This plugin only seems to list installed or digital games and apparently is temporary, as per the readme.

Similar procedures for Epic, XBox Live, and Steam, if the builtin ones
aren't working right away.

Is this a hassle? I suppose, but when you have a billion games spread all over the internet, GoG Galaxy is still useful to me and likely others here
for quickly checking ownership.

Thanks rms, for us too lazy to look up how to do it :)

I got Epic and Xbox to connect fine. The others are giving me problems
I need to go through the integration update. Which the thought of made
me go 'ugh' I'll procrastinate on that a bit, maybe in a few days.
