      they’ve been saying for over a decade they’re gonna build a linux GOG Galaxy client. I’ll believe it if it happens.

        Reportedly they hired a new senior programmer with “extensive linux experience” (or something like that), and ever since it broke free from under CDPR they’ve said that linux is the next horizon.

        Words are still words, sure. But it at least looks like they’re trying.

        Personally, my favorite thing about GOG is that I don’t need a client at all. I can access my whole GOG “library” without a storefront launcher app installed on my computer. Since I keep the installer files backed up, I don’t even need to sign into an account. If I wanted a storefront/launcher app in between me and the games, Steam is a better one. GOG is for launcherless DRM-free games.

        This comes up every time GoG is mentioned. I feel the need to say that I am sorry that this is important to you and not getting attention, NAD also that it doesn’t matter to me at all.
