hope i can get a few friends to join me.

Maybe if CD Project put their big Witcher and Cyberpunk money into Wine, SDL, DXVK, Linux HDR support, etc. instead of licensing Unreal Engine from Epic for upcoming games...

Yup. If they just port GOG Galaxy to Linux and provide a decent way to manage Proton/WINE versions, they'd get way more of my money. As it stands, I've only gotten their games through bundles, so they've made something like $20 from me, whereas Steam gets hundreds every year.

they’d get way more of my money.

Which they'd better invest into improving the Linux technology stack, just like Valve does.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

That's not a requirement, my only requirement is that playing their games on Linux is a good experience.

I'd probably keep buying many games through Steam because:

  • GOG doesn't have everything I want to play
  • GOG probably wouldn't work as nicely on my Steam Deck

But if GOG worked well on my desktop, I'd prefer buying games from them when they have it and the experience is smooth.
