IIRC GOG is actually partnered with HeroicLauncher… so… it’s semi official to use that… and better UX.

Affiliate links are not business partnerships. Does Heroic have anything more than that with GOG?

Gog funds Heroic.

I actually think it’s a fairly decent compromise (although I prefer Lutris), since Gog is clearly not interested in paying to maintain a Linux port.

Gog funds Heroic.

By some other means than affiliate link payouts? Can you link some details about the arrangement?

I read it somewhere awhile ago. You’re killing me asking for a source, goddamn.

Yes, that’s what I thought: It’s just affiliate linking (aka marketing) that any app can use, not a partnership between Heroic and GOG. Thanks for following up and confirming it.

Quoting /u/imLinguin in the post you linked:

Heroic dev here. We are just part of the affiliate program since we help people access GOG on Linux easier. There is nothing more, so there is no need for official announcements from the GOG side.
