  I haven’t had any issues with heroic launcher.

    I only get a black screen here. Used heroic and tried adding as a steam game as well, but I haven’t had any luck yet.

      I had the same problem and solved it by installing mfc140 in winetricks

  GOG has always had support for Linux.

  Do you mean the waste of disk space called GOG Galaxy?

    Not always, they only started to offer Linux support after Steam, and even then it’s just a very small part of their catalog and none of their own games/products, so I think it’s fair to say they don’t offer Linux support but sell some products that do.

      And some games only have a windows native build on GOG but have a Linux native build on Steam

  I think heroic is semi-official? If im not mistaken the GOG team works with tbhm directly?

    You are mistaken. Heroic simply uses an affiliate link to generate money for the project.
