MODERATORS
I'll believe it when I see a Linux version of their Galaxy client.
They should financially support Heroic Launcher and add it to their website. Why invent something that already exists and is open source?
If you open the GOG website inside Heroic, it acts as an affiliate link and the HGL team gets a revenue split. An official partnership would still be better, but it's something.
(edit) Further details here: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/support_heroic_launcher/page1
And Heroic's GOG affiliate link: https://heroicgameslauncher.com/donate (it uses Adtraction and might trigger some ad blockers)
Wasn’t aware of that. Thank you for the info.
He did just reacquire ownership of GOG. Porting software can take time, but this actually might happen in the near future, at least a beta version.
You don't need Galaxy. Use Heroic or better yet, don't use any launchers. GOG games are DRM-free.
Having a client that's actually integrated with your account, with the ability browse, purchase, and download games, is going to be a requirement to complete with Steam
I suppose but the only reason I use gog is to download games without having to use a goddam launcher
I’m sure many people want a launcher and as long as I can keep not using it I won’t care
But not using a launcher is the reason I have a gog library
