Tried it and connected every account I have. It's quick in scrubbing data, but it made me realize that I own/ played a very large amount of games.
On the PS4, It just shows what console games you have trophies for so at best it's just pulling in trophy data because it's unofficial. Xbox is official but doesn't have the full library of any xbox/ Microsoft game I've played, it only has killer instinct which I've never played but I believe was given for free.
One thing they should do is merge the profiles for duplicate games you own across various stores/ systems. It would reduce hovering over titles to know which program it has to open first.
Other than that it's a competent launcher but likely isn't useful if gog isn't your primary game launcher

One huge downside is that gog galaxy no longer imports games that aren't owned by you. So all my pirated games are no longer recognizable.
Can't you manually import?

I can't, nor does it give the option to manually import and I'm not surprised. For about 1 - 2 years now, GOG Galaxy hasn't been able to import every game that I don't own through the system. For example, prior to entering the closed beta, it could import Witcher 3 & Divinity 2 by scanning, but couldn't import Witcher 2 or divine divinity. Now, it can't import any of them at all.
But how can they differentiate between a purchased DRM-free release and a pirated one?
What if I install some abandonware or freeware game? Sucks if one can't add it.
The program is supposed to function as a game library, not a pirate police. Also, why the fuck do they even care what you add to your library?

The thing is, I thought there was no way to do so, and I still think they don't differentiate.
Prior to the beta, all I'd be missing in GOG Galaxy is cloud saves because the game wasn't purchased by my account, and for certain pirated games from certain sites, GOG Galaxy would be unable to tell what version the game is so it says Unknown Version.
Usually, it was older games that released prior to GOG Galaxy that had trouble being detected, but it was hardly consistent. I could still download Severance and Gothic and it would detect and import it, but not Witcher 2.
Now, it detects no game that isn't tied to my account. I'm not losing sleep over it, but it's just something I've noticed in the beta. Could be a bug, who knows.
Maybe I'll post on the forums and give them feedback that there's a bug that doesn't allow me to import games downloaded from the site itself.
Maybe just ask for the feature of manually adding abandonware & freeware games.
Personally I hope that'll be possible, because I have such games that I would want in my library organizer, if I was ever going to use such a tool. Otherwise, if you can't have all your library in one place, what's the fucking use for GOG Galaxy? Isn't that its whole reason for existing?

Steam already has that add non steam game feature it wouldn't be that weird for gog to follow suit.

That would've been easy and steam already has it too.
Right now, the launcher is just there for all the other major launchers you have on your pc.
I'm quite sure CDPR wants you to just have GOG Galaxy be the first launcher you open on your computer.

For that price, sure.
Real price is your time. Is it worth that? That's what you should be asking.

Beware some of their early games, like Edna & Harvey, don't work on Windows 10
Too late. WTF? I seriously never have an issue with Win10 on anything but some random 2D adventure game from 2013 is gonna be the first one? Weird.
They might actually pull this off. Good for them.

Did you literally have no problem or did you have problem but found a solution? The game is unplayable for me and apparently others going by the Steam forums. It's the first game I've given up on in ages, nothing worked.

No problem whatsoever, installed the the first Edna and Harvey game just to confirm nothing changed since and it ran fine. Granted this was steam so maybe gog just doesn't install the Java Runtime environment 1.8 it needs or my special technique of forgetting to update drivers for half a decade pays off again as older game runs just fine.
