    I too prefer GOG, but the fact that they still haven’t made a native linux port of GOG Galaxy causes me to mostly use Steam. I usually use GOG for indie stuff and thingsI want without it being tied to a launcher or DRM.

    Oh, and I recently bought Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 there, as I felt it was about time I gave Chris Sawyer some money for all the fun the pirated version I downloaded 25 years ago have provided.

      Also quite a few games have worse or non-updated versions on GoG (this isn’t GoG/CDPRojeckt’s fault, but it’s still a pain factor)

      Similarly, sometimes the Linux or MacOS ports for a game don’t make it to GoG while the Windows version does.

      Have you tried the Heroic Games Launcher? It’s currently the most advanced launcher for GOG games on Linux, even implementing support for some of GOG Galaxy’s online services. Additionally it’s officially affiliated with GOG, so you can “donate” to the project by purchasing games through the client.

        I have not. In fact, I’d never even heard of it until you mentioned it.
        But I sure as hell will give it a go now that I am aware of its existence. Thanks for the tip!
