Hey guys, I had a lot of requests for GoG support in Pin Steam, but I wont be able to do that any time soon because they don’t have an API I can get your list of games from

As a bandaid, I updated the helper tool “Launcher” to handle shortcut files! To launch any shortcut (including those from GOG games) follow these steps:

Step 1:

Download the launcher program: Launcher

Step 2:

Unzip somewhere on your machine.

Step 3:

Double click the launcher.exe, this will register it as the handler of slaunch: urls.

After pressing yes and accept nothing happens! It registered correctly! If you move Launcher exe afterwards, then double click it again to register its new location.

Step 4:

Put the links to your games into the Links subfolder in the Launcher directory. (Or into the launcher folder directly)

Step 5:

Test that it works. Open the run dialog (press WindowsKey + R);  Write the URL for your game as such: “slaunch:?gamename”  I put my “Master of Orion 2″ link into the folder so my url is “slaunch:?Master of Orion 2”

Step 6:

Create a custom tile with this URL using the guide from: http://jacobkorsgaard.com/?page_id=431 (Pin Steam might require you to replace spaces with %20, which would make my url: “slaunch:?Master%20of%20Orion%202″, this will be fixed in the next update)

 Step 7:

Test it out and enjoy!
