Low prices end GOG ? Yea nah, not really. Sorry but their UI is kinda shitty, hasn’t improved in years, they don’t have a client of Linux, they take 30% just like Steam, and from my experience easily 25% of recent games there get updates far later than Steam, if they ever receive them… The Escapists is a good example of that.
I agree. I run Heroic as well, but it’s not as straightforward for most people. GOG should at least redirect Linux people to Heroic or something. Having to find it by myself isn’t great

I use the Heroic launcher with GOG and it works fantastic. Official apps are less needed if the open source ones are great.

Have an official tutorial for the normies
Heroic is so aptly titled. Combined with one of those helper apps to install “Proton GE”, it makes you just about unstoppable.
I’m finding that Linux has given me better compatibility with my game library as a whole!
For real legacy stuff, Bottles also works a treat. Never thought I’d get Sims 1 working again with so little hassle.
It’s a wonderful time.
Blame the publishers, not GOG
I have contacted some of them and what they said was often: GOG’s tools suck, their support team suck…
I don’t know how a company could fuck this up so I take it as is, and don’t fully trust it, but they haven’t improved their store in years
