    idk man, gog already has it pretty fucking good. Maybe it’s not as nice as steam, but DRM free games that just fucking work is about as good as you’re going to get really.

    That fact that i can just stuff terabytes of games i own onto a disk and then fuck off is awesome. BTW, if you want a good gog interface, i’ve been using heroic games launcher for a bit with epic, it’s pretty good, do recommend it.

      Yeah, I’m trying it out on my Steam Deck. This might just be what gets me to start buying from GOG instead of Steam:

      We also started a partnership with GOG and now every game you buy from the GOG store inside Heroic will give us a commission, so it is another way of supporting the project. :)

      Before then, GOG just didn’t support my platform of choice (Linux desktop and Steam Deck), so I always felt like a second class customer (though they did make installers, which was nice). Steam supported Linux since 2012 (I made my Steam account in 2013-ish because of that), and continue to support Linux through Proton enhancements.

      However, now that Heroic makes something from GOG sales, maybe I’ll actually buy a few. That’s close enough to supporting me that I’ll give them a shot.

        i wasnt even aware they had a partnership prior to this, that’s really cool actually. Hopefully that goes somewhere.

          I updated Heroic and saw it in the changelog. I doubt it’s very much, but it’s still cool.
