Which neatly sums up why I do not and will not even have a Steam account, but buy many games from GOG.

Love gog but fuck them for spamming my email. I found out to claim the new games it'll auto subscribe you to the news letter. So I stopped claiming the games. But still I get emails for promotions and crap. More annoying then freaking scam callers. I've unsubscribed every time I get one and stopped claiming free games. I'm so close to just cut my loses and delete my account but I feel like that still won't stop those parasites

How weird, I wonder if there's something wrong with my GOG account? I don't think I've received an email from them in years?

No, if you claim the giveaways you have to subscribe to their newsletter. That's all. If you aren't doing that, you'll almost never get an email.

Ye that's why I stopped claiming games

I see, that makes sense. Thanks!
