[We still strive to get as many DRM-free titles as possible on GOG, regardless of when they were first released.]
This is why I will always buy a game on GOG rather than Steam if I can.
This is good but can we please get a native Linux client?
Heroic Games Launcher is a pretty smooth experience on Linux for what it’s worth. It works well for GOG, Epic, and Amazon Games.
While Heroic is great and I love it, I would be nice to have official support from GOG.
The developers of Heroic are in regular contact with GOG employees, and they also get a cut from any GOG purchase made through the Heroic client.
Perhaps that is why the client is so good.
Fuck gog. if I need a game to live forever I pirate.
I think you’ve missed the point.
Yes, they’re looking to continue selling older titles and your point is that pirating / torrenting is free, but GoG are ensuring the game will actually run on a modern machine - the pirated ones will have problems (not even covering the potential malware ridden ones)
I’ve been there, done it, got the t-shirt, the t-shirt faded, got ripped and is now a rag somewhere… this is a good move by GoG.
