Questions, answered

Will it purchase a game or claim a sale for us?

No. WebRun only reads public storefront listings. Any purchase is made by a person, on GOG, using their own account.

How does it decide what counts as new?

It compares the current storefront against the last check, so only genuinely new sales and releases get archived and texted.

Does it cover every title on GOG?

It checks the storefront's sale and new release sections broadly, so coverage follows what GOG itself is currently promoting.
