I get that Steam is where everything and everyone is at. And that the user experience and functionality is best there BUT having another player to try an compete with Steam is a good thing, right?
If anyone can try, it’s the Fortnite Bank.
So, why the hate?
So I learned recently that GOG actively funds Heroic. Which really takes some weight off of Heroic’s support for GOG game autopatching and cloud saves, meaning it may be a bit hacky and officially in “beta”, but it’s very unlikely for GOG to object to its presence.
They may not “officially” support Linux, but they don’t “explicitly” lack support.
Also, tip of the hat to Heroic, it works extremely well and very reliably. I was frustrated with Lutris and I am bummed out by how Galaxy didn’t quite get there as the one universal support launcher to handle all your libraries, but Heroic is good enough as a replacement I don’t mind nearly as much anymore. Even on Windows I’d consider it over Galaxy.
Oh, that’s actually nice to hear, makes me re-evaluate gog somewhat.
I don’t use heroic much but it’s never too late to start.
Yep. As I understand it it’s via affiliate links, so if you buy GOG games through the storefront in the Heroic UI they get a small cut, but the Heroic devs say they have spoken to GOG reps and they are broadly supportive, so unless that changes I don’t think their ability to support GOG features would be compromised any time soon.
