With the use of Heroic game launcher, I’m wondering if you all preferred to play your GOG version of games over the Steam version. I can go either way but sometimes I pause and think, having two copies of the same game, one on steam and one on GOG, which one would give me a better gaming experience. For example, I may choose the GOG version because I don’t have to deal with pre-shader work being downloaded every so often. I can just into my games and support DRM free gaming. Yet, Steam achievements and seeing the game’s metadata is always life: seeing the game info, store page, community stuff about the game, and more all there. So what do you chose? GOG game or the Steam game.

Heroic is okay but the devs are not the best when it comes to helping out. They don’t document well since they use discord rather than forums. So if you need help, you have to have the discord app. For a newbie like me, they assume too much for the people using the app and expect you to know what they are talking about. And the response is not the fastest. I realized that it’s better to check after each update of the heroic app to see if games that didn’t work, work afterwards. This is the best approach and it does work out for me.
