GOG Galaxy soll offenbar auf Linux portiert werden, das Unternehmen sucht aktuell nach einem Entwickler/einer Entwicklerin, um den GOG-Spieleclient auch auf Linux zu portieren. Da hat schon niemand mehr drauf gehofft.

Dřív když jsem koupil hru na GOG, tak jsem měl tu hru.

Teď se mi místo ní stáhne nějaká bloated Galaxy srajda, která je super pomalá a vyžaduje na macOS deset nějakých povolení přes všechny security ochrany.

Sice nemusím řešit DOSBox a stačí kliknout na Play, ale možná bych raději řešil DOSBox…

El cambio de dueño de la tienda de videojuegos GOG puede que traiga mejores tiempos para la compatibilidad de esta tienda con Linux. Y es que ha aparecido un anuncio de contratación para desarrollador donde se especifica el portar Galaxy a Linux entre otras cosas:

Spielen mit #Steam ist bequem, auch unter #Linux. Aber bei der Recherche für diesen Artikel hab ich mich wieder mehr mit #GOG.com beschäftigt und muss sagen: So viel sympathischer. Was ich da kaufe (oder Amazon mir schenkt), gehört einfach mir. Ich kanns speichern und installieren wann und wo ich will, kein DRM, kein Online- und Client-Zwang, keine Datenerhebungen, wenn ich das nicht will.

For a long time, I switched from using Steam as my primary game management front-end to using GOG Galaxy. It could easily bring in the games I had on Steam, GOG, the 100+ freebies from Epic, the couple from Humble Bundle, even XBox GamePass for PC when I still had that.
it can also do Ubisoft and Origin but I didn't have any games on those.
it was good enough to replace Playnite which was what I was using before.

However, I got a Steam Deck. Suddenly, I had to either jump through hoops to play games or purchase them again. I actually did buy some games again just so I could more easily play them on my Deck.

Steam is my first choice for purchasing games again and it is because of the Steam Deck.
I know GOG intentionally abandoned any plans to build a Linux native version of GOG Galaxy, which is unfortunate, since they sell Linux versions of games. I've even installed the Linux versions from GOG on my Linux laptop in the past and they work fine, just no Launcher or update manager.

Another reason I went back to Steam was because of the build-in Steam Workshop support so I didn't have to go to Nexus Mods for some of the more popular mods. That's doubly true on Steam Deck where I tried to get Vortex installed for about an hour and then gave up.
So, multiple launchers are kind of a pain in the butt.

It was awesome that GOG updated their launcher to natively connect to competitor's platforms. And their stance against DRM is still admirable.
But, I have to use something like Heroic on my Steam Deck because Steam has no intention of making it easier to connect to other platforms from their hardware.

Not sure what my point was. Maybe that it should be easier to just buy games one time and then easily play it wherever you want forever.
