We love GOG here. It makes me sad the amount of devs that don't release on GOG because I'd buy them in a snap.
I bought Baldur's Gate 3 early on because it was on GOG. If you're gonna release a AAA game DRM free on GOG when new I'm gonna support that.
I can't remember the last time I bought a non-indie game soon after release. Maybe AOE2? I normally do the 5 year delay thing.
To anyone with Linux gaming experience, how is gog gaming on Linux? I'm aware of Lutris, but is it quite as seamless as Steam?
i use Heroic Games Launcher, and while the experience isn’t as seamless as steam (or GOG Galaxy on windows), it works pretty well!
it does the 3 things I need most from a game launcher well: install games, manage games, play games
It isn't as seamless as Steam, but using Lutris or Heroic are the way to go if the games doesn't have a native Linux version available on gog
I would so much rather buy games from GOG but their Linux integration is just so much worse than Steam Big Picture, and I only play games using Linux from a couch with a controller.
Yes, it works, and I can and have done it for some titles, but it’s nowhere near ideal.
Use heroic if you don’t want to manually install
Just tried Cyberpunk, so not generaly speaking, the only extra step was that I had to select what I wanted to download.
My wallet in the corner right now sweating profusely.
