Because they should be able to make a launcher that works. The Windows GOG launcher (GOG Galaxy) is a joke. They want to make one launcher to rule them all but it struggles with almost every one. I have a Windows computer for games that require it (Valorant mostly for me) and even on PC I use Heroic. I don't want crazy features. I just want an officially supported GOG client that works well on Linux and Windows.
Galaxy works fine on windows. It's far more stable than steam btw.
In the meantime heroic or lutris work very well. So why is there even a need for something else? I'd argue it's better if a company don't hold your game hostage for you to play them.
"It's far more stable than steam btw."
I'll admit I've only used Linux for the past 5-6 years, but I think the last time steam crashed for me was almost a decade ago or something? Is it not stable on windows anymore?
It is stable.
