I do so wish the GOGdb site acted in the same way as the Steam one did:
Instead, it runs in a different way making it far less helpful than, as you said, SteamDB!

Or if I didn’t have to go to SteamDB to see what DirectX or Visual C++ runtime I need to install with winetricks.

As a side note, if you use Lutris it has install scripts for pretty much all GoG games, which will take care of adding the necessary libraries via winetricks and you can use them for game installation even when not using Lutris’ support for direct dowload from GoG and instead installing from a local copy of the GoG offline installer for that game.

I’ve been buying obscure enough games that they didn’t have Lutris scripts available, and the Heroic interface works better with controllers besides.
