GOG.COM* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When GOG.com processes a payment for one of its DRM-free game purchases, the transaction is routed through a billing system that truncates the storefront name into a shortened merchant identifier, resulting in "GOG.COM*" appearing on your bank statement rather than the full brand name. The asterisk following GOG.COM is a standard formatting convention used by payment processors to separate the merchant name from any additional transaction detail, such as an order reference or product identifier, though this trailing information may not always be visible depending on your bank's display format. GOG.com, operated by CD Projekt out of Poland, uses this condensed descriptor across its international billing infrastructure, which is why customers who purchase classic or indie titles from the platform will consistently see GOG.COM* on their statements rather than anything referencing "Good Old Games" or CD Projekt directly.

No, this is a legitimate charge from GOG.com. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
