Look harder.
Heroic Games Launcher is pretty good if you just need to play the games from GOG.
Some engagement would still be good. For example without Galaxy some games have reduced functionality like no PvP or map updates (Northgard).
and that’s something that we’ll be looking at.
Meanwhile, steam is over here cornering the market
I think you underestimate how much money valve has, and how little GOG has.
The beauty is that valve has opensourced a shit ton of what they done
Itch has way less money yet supports Linux.
And? Literally all they need to do is make a decent launcher / downloader that isn’t stuck in Windoze
It’s been years since they last promised a Linux client.
You don’t need a client, you just download Linux games from their site and run them.
That was fine when all their games were 20 years old and didn’t need to be patched every couple days.
Now that is a very good point.
It would be nice if the supported a standard container image to have more compatibility with more distros
A nothingburger
GOG, it will be easier to “look a bit closer at Linux” if you pull your heads out of your asses.
To all current GOG+Linux users and to all those who care about fighting a (albeit benevolent) monopoly:
log in to GOG and make your voice heard in the forums!
Ah yes, when they get the stupid runner on all platforms, it will be a great excuse to cut the standalone installers.
What could they even do? The games work fine on linux
Official support for proton and official client for gog galaxy or just helping with Dev of heroic
Not having a native first party linux launcher means no cloud saves or whatever other shit the launcher does (I don’t use it because they don’t have one) which means no feature parity which means publishers won’t put linux builds on gog even if they have one on steam. This is the problem I had with Battle Chasers: Nightwar.
When they released Witcher 2 on Linux (CDPR) some top hat (sorry I don’t remember who) did not like the feedback from the players and used it as reasons to not support Linux on subsequent titles. One hope it is not the same guy that bought GOG.
